Bolland and McGrath added to Bell OHL All-Star Classic roster

Toronto - The Ontario Hockey League today announced that David Bolland of the London Knights and Evan McGrath of the Kitchener Rangers have been added to the Western Conference roster for the 2005 Bell All-Star Classic to replace forwards Bobby Ryan of the Owen Sound Attack and Michael Richards of the Kitchener Rangers who are unable to participate in the game due to injury.

Bolland, an 18-year-old native of Mimico, will be playing in his second straight OHL All-Star Game. The third-year centre is fourth in scoring with the Knights with 21 goals and 29 assists for 50 points in 45 games. Bolland, who represented the OHL in the ADT Canada-Russia Challenge in November, was a second round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in 2004.

McGrath, a 19-year-old from Oakville, is ninth in the OHL scoring race and leads the Rangers with 18 goals and 38 assists for 56 points in 44 games. The Detroit Red Wings' prospect has already set career-high offensive numbers this season. McGrath also represented the OHL in the first game of the ADT Canada-Russia Challenge in November.

The 2005 Bell OHL All-Star Classic will be played on Wednesday February 2, 2005 at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre in Owen Sound.
