On behalf of the SHL All-Star Committee, it is with great pleasure and privilege that I get to announce this season's All-Star Rosters!

The process for determining All-Star Game Rosters for this season varied slightly from last season. While the methodology I feel is getting closer to what the final methodology will be, I understand that the timing this season is later than it typically has been for the All-Star Game. Next season, our voting timeline will be announced much sooner, with the All-Star Game happening before the SHL Trade Deadline.

For this season's voting, we stuck with the "Auto-Bid" format where every team has one representative that the committee votes on before voting on the rest of the roster in order to ensure every team is represented in the All-Star Game. Instead of requiring 12 forwards, 6 defensemen, and 2 goalies per ballot, I only required votes for the amount of spaces left on the roster for each position. For example, after this season's "Auto-Bid" ballots were submitted, the Western Conference had 6 forwards, 2 defensemen, and 2 goalies voted in as their team's representatives. This left 6 forward and 4 defensemen spots left to round out the roster, meaning the committee was asked to submit 6 forwards and 4 defensemen for the Western Conference portion of their ballot. The top 5 forwards and top 3 defensemen were then added to the Western Conference roster, leaving 1 forward and 1 defenseman spot available for the "Last-Players In" vote.

Please keep in mind, voting has been done over roughly the past 7 days. This is something that I am hoping to both prevent and fix next season and onward, so please do keep this in mind when comparing who made these rosters with the most updated index.

Speaking of that vote, the voting form for the "Last-Players In" vote can be found HERE. Please post your verification word in this thread. THERE IS NO TPE LINKED TO THIS VOTE, the verification word is only there to avoid spamming and cheating, you little rascals.

Please be careful to write the players' names entirely and correctly. Do not add position, team or any other information. For example, if I wanted to vote for Tanner Fox (if he was playing in the SHL and not the J, do not vote for him), here's what I should and shouldn't do:

Fox
Tanner Föx
T. Fox
Tanner Fox - D
Tanner Fox - Carolina
Tanner Fox

Every special character counts; the Index and Copy-Paste are your allies in this, but make sure to double-check the player page if the name is long: the index might crop it.

Inactive players are not eligible.

Voting closes on Friday, July 16th at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.

Without further ado, here are your S60 SHL All-Star Game representatives!

Eastern Conference
Forwards
Aaron Wilson, Steelhawks
