The American Hockey League and the San Jose Barracuda have unveiled the event logo for the 2024 AHL All-Star Classic, and announced that tickets for the event are on sale now.

This is what NHL GM’s were looking for when the Calder Cup Playoffs expanded to 23 teams. High-pressure, late-season games, one after the next after the next, all in a bid to put their prospects through the toughest of trials.

Andrew Agozzino was named captain of the San Jose Barracuda for several reasons, but the level of effort he shows in all areas is surely at the top of the list and he has been rewarded for it this season.

When San Jose acquired Kyle Criscuolo, the Barracuda expected to receive a strong two-way forward capable of providing leadership for an AHL affiliate in a rebuilding organization. He has done all of that and more.

The San Jose Sharks have acquired forward Fabian Zetterlund, defenseman Nikita Okhotiuk, forward Andreas Johnsson, defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin and two draft choices from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for forward Timo Meier, defenseman Scott Harrington, forward Timur Ibragimov, defenseman Santeri Hatakka and goaltender Zach Emond.

The San Jose Sharks have acquired forward Martin Kaut and defenseman Jacob MacDonald from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for forward Matt Nieto and defenseman Ryan Merkley.

The Detroit Red Wings have acquired center Jasper Weatherby from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for center Kyle Criscuolo.

After both got a taste of the NHL last season, Thomas Bordeleau and William Eklund are finding their stride as rookies with the San Jose Barracuda.

Derrick Pouliot was not a part of the Barracuda team that lost 15 consecutive games to finish last season, but he came to San Jose conscious of the organization’s desire for a fresh start from the top down, and he saw the opportunity in front of him.

The American Hockey League’s Player Safety Committee has announced the following suspensions.
