Taylor Beck Named a First-Team AHL All-Star
Apr 6, 2017The American Hockey League today announced that Wolf Pack forward Taylor Beck has been named to the 2016-17 AHL First All-Star Team.
Beck, who was acquired by the parent New York Rangers March 1 from the Edmonton Oilers, in exchange for Justin Fontaine, has amassed 19 goals and 44 assists for 63 points, all pro career highs, in 53 AHL games this year in combined action between the Wolf Pack and the Bakersfield Condors.

A sixth-year pro out of the Ontario Hockey League, Beck has skated in 297 career AHL games, with the Milwaukee Admirals, Bridgeport Sound Tigers, San Antonio Rampage, the Condors and the Wolf Pack, with scoring totals of 80 goals and 148 assists for 228 points.
