Top Two Wranglers Players Selected To AHL All-Star Classic

On Wednesday, the AHL announced rosters for the upcoming AHL All-Star Classic, which will be held February 2-3 in Palm Desert, CA, and features two top players from the Calgary Wranglers.

Not only will their head coach, Trent Cull or Joe Cirella, lead the Pacific Division, but now the Wranglers' top scorer, Rory Kerins, and their top goalie, Devin Cooley, will also be in the lineup.

Kerins, who ranks second in AHL scoring with 21 goals and 34 points in 34 games, is making his first AHL All-Star Classic appearance. He was initially drafted by the Calgary Flames in the sixth round (174th overall) at the 2020 Draft.

Since 2020-21, he's scored 38 goals and 68 points in 98 AHL games with the Stockton Heat and Wranglers.

Meanwhile, Cooley, playing his first season with the Wranglers, leads the league in wins (17) and ranks within the top five regarding GAA (1.99) and SV% (.937).

After winning an NCAA championship at the University of Denver in 2018, Cooley made his AHL debut with the Chicago Wolves and has played for four teams since 2020-21.

Cooley is 49-30-6 in the AHL with a 2.84 GAA and .910 SV% with three shutouts. Last year, he got to play six games with the San Jose Sharks, earning a 2-3-1 record.

The Wranglers are the top team in the AHL with 47 points, thanks to a 23-10-1-0.
