Huron County's own Cal O'Reilly will be representing the Western Conference in the AHL All Star game Monday night.

This year's event is being held at O'Reilly's home rink in Utica. He is the captain of the Utica Comets, the Vancouver Canucks farm team.

On his way to getting the call to the mid-season classic, the native of Varna scored 4 goals and added 26 assists for 30 points heading into the break.

He took part in last night's skills competition. He anchored the puck control relay, beating Jonathan Machessault of the Syracuse Crunch to earn the West a point.

The AHL All Star game goes tonight at 7:00 p.m.
