The 'Best of the Rest' All-Star teams are made up of players from WSHL Teams that didn't qualify for the National Tournament.

Cheyenne Stampede General Manager Mark Lantz says it's a way for the league to showcase the talent of all the member teams.

Lantz explains that each team in the league nominates four to six players from their team.

Those selections are whittled down to a 20 man roster by the 'All-Star' General Managers and Coaches. Cheyenne Stampede Head Coach Mary Quarters says they are pleased to have 4 outstanding young men selected for this year's team.
