Two other members of the Gaiters' front pack were named to the squad, as locks James le Huquet (Brockville, Ont.) and Ian Snowsell (Banff, Alta.) earned their first all-star nods. The Gaiters' Big Four is rounded out by veteran scrum half Brad Leung (Ottawa, Ont.), who is also a first-time selection.
