Today, the American Hockey League announced that this season's All-Star Classic will be played in St. John's, Newfoundland, home to the Winnipeg Jets' farm team, the St. John's Ice Caps. The festivities will take place on February 11th & 12th with the game itself occurring on the 12th.The game will be played between the AHL All-Stars and Färjestad BK of the Swedish Hockey League!
"The 2014 AHL All-Star Classic will mark the first time ever that a
Swedish Hockey League team has competed in North America. Founded in
1932 and based in the city of Karlstad, Sweden, Färjestad BK – led by
team CEO Håkan Loob – is one of the most successful franchises
in all of European hockey, playing in 19 league finals and winning
nine Swedish league championships, including four since 2002." - theahl.com

To coincide today's announcement form the AHL, I am announcing a new "American Hockey League redesign" concept series! And to keep with the theme of today's post, here's the first entry into the series!
Here I went for a classic look with a modern feel, which I think the "IceBorn" template helps demonstrate it really well! In the AHL, the home teams wear white jerseys and the road teams wear dark jersey so I made the jerseys adaptable to which conference is the home team and which one is the road team by the work of shoulder patches. Here I made the Eastern Conference the home team and the Western Conference the road team.

Hope you guys enjoyed today's post! And like the last concept series, I have no set days as to when entries will be posted so look out for post updates on social media!
Also, Happy NHL 14 release day!
