IMO it is Ernst.He showed grit and determination last year and came to preseason prepared to be a leader. NOW this is based on what he does on the ice. Last year I seen mentoring some of the young D on the ice and off which I liked. Now I am not sure about his off ice leadership only because I don't know.

It's very early days yet but I've been impressed with I've seen from Kammerer so far. He's very poised for a 16 year old defenceman. I could see him moving up the depth chart pretty rapidly once he gets used to the league.
One thing about our D.There is no top 4. Based on ability,they are all 1-8 and can move up or down the depth chart at any given time.

good call on the shootout!
4-3 Sting win in SO.
Fazio with 32 saves for the W. PP was 1/5 and PK was 8/9 (5 on 3 goal against)
Line of Salinitri, Ruzicka and Leufvenius looked pretty good together. I think Leufvenius is going to be a stud. Strong on the puck, plays well at both ends and has a hard shot and some nifty hands.
Gotta give big credit to Schlicting...ties the game on a nice end to end rush going bardown. Threw some big time hits and played a solid, uncomplicated game.
It wasn't pretty but its a win and a great way to start the season.

Congrats to Connor on a strong game.Hoping he can finally put a strong season to gether.So Troy was the odd man out last night.What about tonight??.I guess it depends if Houghes is in or Fazio.
Good effort last night. Fazio played great and is obviously going to be very important for the success of the team moving ahead. ( It's also nice to see that the Sting have finally put a goaltender in the system who they actually developed and has played his whole career in Sarnia - the first time in 20 years !).
Have to give the defence credit for playing a very good game. I thought Schlicting and Calvas in particular played really well as did Grimas. Gotta believe the fact that Schlicting was wearing a letter last night that he will be a a mainstay in the lineup for the rest of the season.
As for the forwards I thought Salinitri was by far the standout player for the Sting. When Kyrou gets back I could see those two putting up a lot of points on PP.

Lajeunesse might just be the odd man out again tonight. Schlicting played waaaay to good last night to turn around and sit him tonight. I really don't see them playing Hughes against Kitchener who has a more gifted offense then Guelph does so Fazio will likely start. Ernst wasn't as visible as usual last night so the only way Troy gets in is if they decide to sit Ernst...which IMO I doubt that. I would like to see Troy given a chance to prove he's just as valuable as the rest of the OA's.
Horrible game tonight. Fazio was the only exception. The Calvas roughing penalty put a fire under our ass for about 5 minutes then we just reverted back to a Sunday leisure skate. Granted we are missing a couple of key pieces and played in Guelph last night but those are very poor excuses. Looks like Troy is going to be the odd man out this season. We also had very poor puck control and were really weak the few times we had players on the point. The no goal that would have tied it for us sealed our fate. Can anybody who was watching on TV shed some light on if it was actually a goal or the right call?
Kyrou is the only piece missing. Granted a huge piece. All this talk about how bad our D is but where's this offense that everyone raves about? 4 goals in 2 games not including shootout. D's haven't given up much in 2 games. Faz been a stud.
I havent read much about anybody Raving about our offense.Yes I think there is a bunch on here thinking they should be decent.Should improve when Kyrou providing that he doesnt come back with a bad attitude because he didnt make it.Hopefully it will be an attitude of wanting to lead this team.Congrats on our D for playing beyond expectations so far.Long season yet.We are only 2 games in.
He will be playing for a spot on the Canada Junior team. He's always been a selfish player IMO but this is the year he can change that and show he belongs playing in the NHL and for his country.

The major announcement is Friday @ 11am on FB Live. Also it seems that there are a lot of Sarnia Sting posts that did not survive the migration to the new site
A new scoreboard was one of the requirements the Sting was told to get before they could actively try for the memorial cup.Maybe putting together a team that could get by the first round of playoffs also.lol

Sting just announced a new LED state of the art scoreboard and 400 foot LED banner to be installed this December at the arena. No final cost but in excess of $500,000. The Sting are covering the cost by the sounds of it so that's good news for fans. Looks like Hatcher and Legwand are committed to keeping the team in Sarnia.
That should be good news as far as keeping the team in Sarnia for a while. The old one was getting worn out. Other teams use the scoreboard to get the fans more involved in the game.Hope that allows the Sting staff to engage the fans more.
On a side note,Lyle12 seems to have disappeared with the trading of Troy.HMMM,he said he had no connections.LOL
Any predictions for the weekend? Full squad (if Rees plays) and catching Fronts on a back to back and 67's on a 3 in 3. I'm calling 2 wins 5-3 and 6-2 respectively.

I'm optimistic that the boys can pull off two wins as well. Kingston should be the tougher of the two games. I'll take a stab at the scores.
Sting 4 vs Fronts 2
Sting 7 vs 67's 3 (Hughes in net, If Fazio then 7-1)
Completely shocked Kyrou get's the C as well. He's never been a team player always worrying about himself and putting blame onto line mates and never on himself. Many games last year I saw a lack of effort especially on D along with a shaking or down head. Salinitri or Fazio should wear the C.
Looks like a good team to make a run this year. Just need to shore up that defence a bit. Sinclair should look at adding a guy like Sambrook early.
