Toronto Maple Leafs: 3 Marlies Named to AHL All-Star Classic
On Wednesday, January 11th, the Toronto Maple Leafs AHL team, the Toronto Marlies, announced that three of their players got selected for the AHL All-Star Classic.
The American Hockey League announced the roster for the 2023 AHL All-Star Classic, which will take place in Laval, Quebec. The event will take place on February 5th-6th. Representing the Toronto Marlies and the AHL North Division will be Marlies captain Logan Shaw, defenseman Noel Hoefenmayer, and goaltender Joseph Woll. I’m sure they will make the Marlies and Toronto Maple Leafs management and fans proud.
Also representing the Marlies will be head coach Greg Moore who will be behind the bench for the North Division. Joining him will be the Marlies head athletic therapist Jordan Aube and head equipment manager Wil Burns. It will be a great opportunity for each of them to be a part of this event.
Here is a closer look at the three Toronto Marlies players who will be attending the AHL All-Star event next month.
