The Colorado Eagles’ 2025-26 campaign has proved quite successful this season. With head coach Mark Letestu directing, they’ve kept either the first or second divisional spot this season. However, Letestu will
share that the success stems from player contributions, not himself. As of Saturday morning, the Colorado Eagles have a 22–8–1–3 record. Colorado sits fifth in the AHL standings, third in the conference and second in the Pacific. Why does this all matter? Because it helped coach Letestu earn the head coaching position for the All-Star Classic in Rockford, Illinois this February.
Will not be going alone
It is not very often in the AHL that a team gets to send more than one representative to the All-Star Classic. This year, the Eagles will send two players to the event besides coach Letestu. Eagles’ captain Jayson Megna will be the Pacific Division captain and play in the games. The captain is fifth in the AHL with 19 goals and is second on the team in points behind Alex Barre-Boulet.
The hard working rookie
Rookie goaltender Isak Posch will also go to the games with Megna and Letestu. Injuries to Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood forced Posch into a starting role for the Eagles. And he has stepped up with a 12–5–3 record, a 2.45 goals-allowed average, and a .905 save percentage. Add to this his two shutouts, and he has been stellar in the crease. So good that he ranks fifth among all rookie goaltenders in the AHL.
How the All-Star Classic works
Day one of the festivities on February 10th will be your classic skills competition. On day two, all four teams will take part in a 3-on-3, round-robin tournament featuring six games of eight minutes each. The two teams with the best records at the end of the round-robin will face off for the championship in a final eight-minute, 3-on-3 game.
