ECHL announces 2024-25 Midseason All-Stars

SHREWSBURY, N.J. – The ECHL on Wednesday announced the Eastern Conference and Western Conference rosters for the 2024-25 Midseason All-Star Team.

As a part of the All-Star selection, DASH - the Official Mobile Auction Platform of the ECHL - will auction off each player’s jersey. The auction is now live by CLICKING HERE, and will run through Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. ET.

The roster for the ECHL All-Stars was determined in a vote of coaches, team captains, media relations directors and broadcasters. The coaches were determined by the team with the highest points percentage in each conference through games of Jan. 5, 2025.

The Railers have two skaters named to the ECHL Midseason All-Star Team: forward Anthony Repaci and defenseman Connor Welsh.

Repaci, 30, is currently third in the ECHL in points at 45 (22G, 23A). He is second in goals, second in power-play assists (15), and first in power-play points (22). Across the past two seasons, Repaci has become the Railers franchise leader in goals, assists, points, and games played, passing former captain Barry Almeida in each category. The Toronto, ON native first joined the Railers ahead of the 2021-22 season after playing his rookie year with the Orlando Solar Bears in the 2020-21 season.

Welsh, 27, is currently fifth overall in the ECHL and second among defensemen in assists (29). He leads the league in power-play assists (17) and is second behind Repaci in power-play points (19). Welsh is one of three defensemen in the ECHL this season to score a shootout goal. The Halifax, NS native first joined the Railers in the offseason ahead of the 2023-24 season in a trade with the Trois-Rivières Lions.
