23 year old Knight, who has two goals and eight assists in 27 games this season, has been voted into the Overseas All Star line up, coached by Nottingham player/coach Corey Neilson, as a defenceman after regularly switching between forward and defence for Sylvain Cloutier's injury hit side.The rugged Canadian has become a fan favourite at the Hull Arena due to his honest, hardworking play and fearlessness, which has seen him accumulate a league leading 170 penalty minutes and drop the gloves 15 times against the likes of fighting heavyweights Sean McMorrow and Brad Voth.
He has been selected on the blueline alongside Nottingham's Dominic D'Armour, while the rest of the Overseas All Star lineup consists of Knight's Belfast sparring partner Sean McMorrow, skilled forwards from Belfast and Nottingham, Jeff Szwez and Jade Galbraith, and Coventry's Danish netminder Peter Hirsch.
He is joined in the EIHL's second ever All Star game by forward Lee Esders, who has been selected by fans to the British All Star lineup, coached by Sheffield head coach Dave Matsos.
Esders, 21, has been selected after netting just 4 times in 35 games this season but following a hugely successful sophomore season in which he netted 11 goals and added 10 assists in 60 games under Rick Strachan.
The Beverly born forward is another fan favourite at the Hull Arena after developing through the Kingston Junior Development system and he has been selected alongside Great Britain regulars Stephen Murphy and Colin Shields, from Belfast, David Clarke, from Nottingham and Coventry blueliner Jonathan Weaver as well as former Stingrays D man, and junior international, Stevie Lee, currently at Nottingham.
