OHL 2002-03 All-Star Teams

The Ontario Hockey League today announced the All-Star Teams for the 2002-03 season as selected by OHL general managers.

Linemates Corey Locke (centre) and Matt Foy (right wing) of the Ottawa 67's, the top two scorers in the league this season, were named to the First All-Star Team, along with left winger Cody McCormick of the Belleville Bulls, defencemen Brendan Bell of the 67's and Lukas Krajicek of the Peterborough Petes, goaltender Andy Chiodo of the Toronto St. Michael's Majors and Ottawa coach Brian Kilrea. It's the sixth time that Kilrea, who recorded his unprecedented 1,000th career win this season, has been recognized as the OHL First Team All-Star Coach.

Four Ottawa 67's were honoured, including Locke, who had the most voting points with 89 of a possible 95. Four Belleville Bulls were also honoured, including McCormick, second team coach Jim Hulton and third team centre Matt Stajan and goaltender Michael Mole. Four members of Canada's Silver Medal winning National Junior Team were recognized, including Bell and Stajan, along with second team defencemen Steve Eminger of the Kitchener Rangers and Carlo Colaiacovo of the Erie Otters.

Ballots were cast by OHL member team general managers in a two stage process. Players received five points for a first place vote, three for a second place vote and one for a third place vote. Managers were not permitted to select players from their own hockey club.
