The first-ever BEARD Hockey All-Star Team has been announced. Details of the 'event weekend' will be forthcoming from the league soon.
It's never an easy thing to choose an All-Star team. There was no shortage of qualified candidates, but only 21 players can represent their Conference in the 2021 BEARD Hockey All-Star Game.
The leading vote getters among GM's in each positional category were:
Eastern Conference: Artemi Panarin (FLA - 18), Cale Makar (PIT - 21), Andrei Vasilevskiy (MTL - 19)
Western Conference: David Pastrnak (MIN - 22), John Carlson (CHI - 18), Connor Hellebuyck (WPG - 19)
Several teams had two players make an All-Star squad. All teams will have at least one representative. Without further adieu, here are the lineups! (More info is coming soon!)
