Six Stars heading to Top Prospects

TRAVERSE CITY -- When the North American Hockey League's Top Prospects Tournament kicks off next month in Ann Arbor, the Traverse City North Stars will be well-represented -- on the ice and the bench.

Five North Stars made the North Division roster -- captain Kyle Bonis and repeat selection Nate Urbaniak, along with Chris Heineman, Kyle Jean and Travis White. Traverse City head coach/GM Anthony Palumbo will serve as an assistant coach for the North. The event will take place at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube from Jan. 18-20.

The event will feature all-star teams from the NAHL's Central, North, South and West divisions competing in a three-game, round-robin showcase. The U.S. National Team Development Program's U-17 and U-18 Teams will also play two games each over the three days.
