Mark Streit is an All-Star!

NYI For Life would like to congratulate Islanders defenseman Mark Streit for making the All-Star team. Streit is the first Swiss player ever to be named to the NHL All-Star Game, which will be played on Sunday, January 25 in Montreal at the Bell Centre.

"This is an unbelievable honor and I'm truly excited to represent the Islanders in the All-Star Game," said Streit, who was presented with an Eastern Conference All-Star Jersey at the Islanders' morning skate in Calgary. "It's going to be a great experience to go back to Montreal and it will be a lot of fun."
