Guelph Storm News Release
American Hockey League President and Chief Executive Officer David Andrews announced today that Syracuse Crunch alumni Scott Walker and Michael Peca will serve as the honorary captains for the 2016 Toyota AHL All-Star Classic, to be held January 31 and February 1 in Syracuse, N.Y.
Each year, the All-Star Classic honorary captains join the participating teams in the locker room and on the benches during the event, and are recognized for their careers at the annual AHL Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Ceremony.
Scott Walker played 829 games in the NHL with Vancouver, Nashville, Carolina and Washington following two seasons in the AHL, which included a 1994-95 campaign in Syracuse that saw him total 52 points and 334 penalty minutes for the Crunch. Currently a player development consultant for the Canucks, Walker also spent the 1996 postseason in Syracuse, helping the Crunch to an improbable trip to the conference finals. Walker won an Ontario Hockey League championship as head coach in Guelph in 2013-14, and served as an assistant coach for Team Canada as it won gold at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championships.
