Brock Sheahan, the head coach of the Steel, appreciated the selection of the players from his team. Sheahan said, “As a staff, we are extremely excited to have five of our players take part in the BioSteel All-American Game.”

Farrell is the leading scorer of the league this season with 20 points in 24 games. Colangelo and Fontaine scored 12 goals each in the league this season and they are the eighth-most goal scorers this season.
