The AHL made a major announcement on Tuesday morning, regarding the 2014 AHL All-Star game, which will be held in February in St. John's, Newfoundland:

It's an interesting concept, and one that might result in a more high-stakes, heated affair than your average hockey all-star game (which is generally played at a snails place, and with very limited contact).

Farjestad BK is captained by former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Rickard Wallin. The club finished second in the SEL (which was renamed the SHL this summer) before losing in the semifinals last year.
