Weekend Preview

November 18, 2015 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Sarnia Sting News Release


The Sting are coming off a commanding 7-0 win over the Guelph Storm on Saturday night in front of a season-high crowd of 3,160 fans. On Saturday night the Sting managed to go 3 / 4 with the man advantage while remaining perfect on four penalty kills.

In addition to seeing their special teams take a step forward, the Sting are also pleased to see sophomore forward Jordan Kyrou find his stride. After going 15 games without a goal to start the season, Kyrou has registered four goals in his last three games.

This weekend, the Sting are home to the Owen Sound Attack and the Niagara IceDogs; both of which are sure to be exciting matchups.

Friday's game against the Attack is certainly an important one for the club as the two teams are neck and neck in the Western Conference standings. Puck drop is slated for 7:05 PM.

On Saturday night, the Sarnia Sting look to close out the weekend with a win against Josh Ho-Sang and the Niagara IceDogs. Fans in attendance on Saturday night will go home with a specialty 'Movember-themed' signature poster. In conjunction with the giveaway, the entire team will be at Lambton Mall on Monday night (6:30 PM) for an autograph session.

Tickets for both games can be purchased online here, by calling (519) 541-1717, or by visiting one of the club's two Box Office locations (SSEC & Lambton Mall Satellite Box Office).
