SPRINGFIELD, MA — A pair of former Blazers have made the 2020 American Hockey League (AHL) All-Star Game.

Goaltender Connor Ingram of the Milwaukee Admirals was selected to represent the Central Division, while forward Rudolfs Balcers of the Belleville Senators will suit up for the North Division.

Ingram tended the nets for the Blazers from 2014-17 and was drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2016. Tampa traded him to the Nashville Predators last June.

The 22-year-old Saskatoon native has a .932 save percentage and 2.07 goals-against average in 18 games with Milwaukee this season.

Balcers played just one season for Kamloops in 2016-17.

He was originally drafted by San Jose in 2015, but was dealt to Ottawa in the blockbuster 2018 deal that sent Erik Karlsson to the Sharks.

The 22-year-old from Latvia has 24 points in 19 games with Belleville this season.

The AHL All-Star festivities will be held January 26 and 27 in Ontario, California.
