For a second consecutive year, the contest will feature a “Border Battle” format, which will see Canadian All-Stars taking on their American counterparts with line-ups comprised of skaters and goaltenders from the SIJHL’s six-member clubs based on their citizenship as well as by their respective efforts on the ice through the first two and a half months of the 2018-19 regular season.
Last year’s event in Eveleth, Minn., saw Team USA skate to a 5-2 victory over their Canadian counterparts.
This will mark the sixth all-star completion in the history of the league.
The SIJHL All-Star Game rosters, coaching staffs and officials will be announced in the coming weeks.
