Defenseman Jason Tessier will be the sole representative for the Austin Ice Bats at this year’s CHL All-Star Game taking place in Broomfield, Colo., on January 16. This is the fourth time Tessier has been chosen to play in the All-Star game. His 19 points (8 goals, 11 assists) rank him third on the Ice Bats for the season and first among defensemen. It’s been a rough year for the 7-22-1 Bats, who are firmly planted in the CHL’s Southern Conference Southeast Division cellar. With the season running through Saturday, March 22, there is still plenty of time for a turnaround. The Ice Bats host the Mississippi RiverKings this Friday, January 4 at 7:35pm and the Corpus Christi Rayz Saturday, January 5, at 7:35pm as well. For tickets call 927-7825 or visit their website.
