Eastern Conference All-Stars
The East team will be coached by Bill Tierney (PHI) and Dylan Sheridan (PHI.)

Nearly half of the roster is filled out by Atlas players; including, Jeff Teat, Myles Jones, Trevor Baptiste, and rookie Connor Shellenberger. The East have league-leading attackmen and a powerful defense, so it will be hard for the West to cope.

Western Conference All-Stars
The West team is coached by Chris Bates (UTA) and Tony Resch (UTA) is not to be underestimated.
