Ruskowski, Stewart to Coach All-Stars

Based on Friday night CHL results, the respective conference coaches for the 2007 CHL All-Star Game have been determined. Colorado’s Chris Stewart will handle the Northern Conference All-Stars on January 17th in Bossier-Shreveport, while Laredo’s Terry Ruskowski will oversee the Southern Conference. Stewart earns the All-Star honor for the third straight season (also 2006 in Rio Grande Valley, 2005 in Laredo) while Ruskowski leads the South for the third time in four seasons (also 2006 in Rio Grande Valley, 2004 in New Mexico). Both the Eagles and the Bucks have cemented the top winning percentage in their respective conference prior to Christmas Day regardless of what happens Saturday evening. The Equipment Managers and Athletic Trainers for both clubs also join the All-Star contingent, and the Coaches will help select all the non-starters for the All-Star Game itself. The starting lineups for both conference will be announced on December 27th.
