Jan 11, 2019

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. … The American Hockey League announced today a change to the playing rosters for the 2019 Lexus AHL All-Star Classic presented by MGM Springfield, to be held January 27-28 in Springfield, Mass.

 

Springfield Thunderbirds forward Anthony Greco has been added to the Atlantic Division team roster. Greco replaces Thunderbirds teammate Henrik Borgstrom, who will be unavailable for the event.

 

Greco, a third-year pro from Queens, N.Y., has tallied 15 goals and 12 assists for 27 points in 35 games with Springfield this season. He also made his NHL debut, skating with the Florida Panthers on Dec. 13 at Minnesota.

The 2019 Lexus AHL All-Star Classic presented by MGM Springfield will feature the top young talent in the American Hockey League: since 1995, more than 94 percent of All-Star Classic participants have gone on to compete in the National Hockey League, including Jake Allen, Patrice Bergeron, Ben Bishop, Zdeno Chara, Logan Couture, Connor Hellebuyck, Braden Holtby, Tyler Johnson, Martin Jones, Jonathan Marchessault, Brandon Montour, William Nylander, Zach Parise, Mikko Rantanen, Tuukka Rask, Pekka Rinne, Jason Spezza, P.K.

In operation since 1936, the American Hockey League serves as the top development league for the players, coaches, managers, executives, broadcasters and staff of all 31 National Hockey League teams. More than 87 percent of today’s NHL players are American Hockey League graduates, and more than 100 honored members of the Hockey Hall of Fame spent time in the AHL in their careers. In 2017-18, over 6 million fans attended AHL regular-season and playoff games across North America for the 17th year in a row.
