Mark Cullen represents MN in AHL All Star Classic

Mark Cullen, the younger brother of Carolina Hurricanes center Matt Cullen, is the lone Minnesotan playing in the AHL All-Star Classic. Cullen has 15 goals and 25 assists on the season in 47 games played. He is already one point ahead of last season when he scored 14 goals and had 25 assists.

He is playing this year for the Rockford IceHogs and has played for a different AHL team the past five seasons.

The Cullen's were born in Virginia but played in high school in Moorhead where their dad was considered one of the great hockey teachers in the state. Mark played at Colorado College while brother Matt starred at St. Cloud State.

Mark was signed to a one-year contract with Chicago this past summer but has yet to get called up. He last appeared in a NHL game in 2006-2007 for Philadelphia.
