It’s official, the NHL has released its list of players for this years Tim Hortons All-Star Game to be held in Ottawa. The top six were picked through fan voting, which — not surprisingly — included four Senators, and the rest were announced today.
Remember, captains for each team will be released in the next few days; and on January 26th, the second annual fantasy draft will take place. We’ll see if Phil Kessel can avoid being the last pick in consecutive seasons (HA!).
Let’s take a look at the representatives for each NHL club.
