Eastern Division All Star head coach Darris Kilgour will be surrounded by plenty of his own players during this month's National Lacrosse League All Star Game.

Kilgour and Eastern assistant coach (and Rochester Knighthawks head coach) Paul Day selected four Buffalo Bandits as reserves in the contest, slated for Sunday 22 February at Pepsi Center.

Forwards Mike Accursi and Mark Steenhuis received the call, as did defenseman Kyle Couling and goaltender Steve Dietrich.

Three Philadelphia Wings forwards (Jake Bergey, Tom Marechek, and Jeff Ratcliffe) were selected, as was Wings defenseman Paul Cantabene.

The only other reserve forward selected to play is Derek Malawsky of the Rochester Knighthawks.

On defense, the Knighthawks are represented by Andrew Turner, while the Toronto Rock will send Glenn Clark and Jim Veltman.

The Eastern Division starting lineup features forwards Colin Doyle (Toronto), Blaine Manning (Toronto), and John Tavares (Buffalo); defensemen Pat Coyle (Toronto) and Mike Hasen (Rochester); and goaltender Pat O'Toole (Rochester).
