The Wings have had a successful first half of 2008 and they carried that momentum into the 2008 National Lacrosse League All-Star Game in Edmonton.  Transition player Geoff Snider took home the All-Star MVP award in the 17-16 overtime thriller held on Sunday evening.  Snider scored six points (3G, 3A), picked up 28 loose balls, and won 31 of 36 face-offs in the contest.

Athan Iannucci also had a stellar All-Star Game scoring one goal along with five assists, including the assist on Rochester Knighthawk Shawn Williams’ game winning overtime goal.  Wings defender Taylor Wray made his way onto the East Division score sheet as well, getting a goal in the fourth quarter on his only shot of the game.

Overall, Wings players played a role in 11 of the East Division’s 17 goals scored, picked up 32% of the team’s loose balls, and took all but two of the team’s face-offs in the 2008 All-Star Game propelling the east to victory.
