OHL Sarnia Sting

Sting Bested by Hounds

Sarnia Sting News Release


The Sarnia Sting visited the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds on Saturday night.

On a snowy evening at GFL Memorial Gardens, these two West division rivals went head-to-head.

Hounds forward Cole MacKay scored the game's opening goal. MacKay went glove-side past Sting netminder Ethan Langevin to give the home crew a 1-0 lead.

Sting rookie forward Nolan Burke had the response. Poised and ready at the top of the Greyhounds crease, Burke pounced on the rebound of a Mitch Eliot blast. Burke swept the puck through Soo goalie Matthew Villalta to tie the game at 1-1. Through twenty minutes, we were all knotted up.

Opening the second period, Soo freshman blueliner Ryan O'Rourke made it 2-1. O'Rourke fired a low one-timer from the point.

Hounds forward Ryan Roth extended the lead. Soo veteran defenceman Mac Hollowell hit Roth with a slick backdoor pass to turn it into a 3-1 game.

It looked like Sting forward Curtis Egert had brought the game within a goal. However, we were called for goaltender interference. The goal was waived off. We headed to the third frame down a pair on the scoresheet.

In the final stanza, Greyhounds skaters Jacob LeGuerrier, Keeghan Howdeshell, and Zack Trott each added a goal of their own. Tonight's final score was 6-1.

Langevin had a very active night in goal but did make some exceptional stops between the pipes. Check out two of his twenty-nine saves!
