Sarnia Sting 2023-2024 Off-Season Thread (Part 1)

15 & hopefully they follow thru with Gaughan to Jr B to make it 14. In the paper Seca said they plan on running with 14. Which I hate, but with Sim not going anywhere guess we gotta deal with it.

You won’t be complaining when they get injured.

I'm just against sitting 2 healthy Fs every night.. Especially if one is 16 more often. One makes sense, but not two. And it isn't fair to guys either if there's a constant rotating door on line 4.

And u can call them up from Jr B when those injuries do happen.

Have to play, and not on 4th line. That's the thing, having a 16 year old on 4th line is 1 thing but 2? And sitting is not developing.
Have to play alot. London dows it right and why are they successful their 16 year olds get tonnes of ice ans come back at 17 and jump in.
I'm with sting updates just canr keep more than 1 extra

Little home & home with London to end off the pre season. They are missing just a few OK players who are at NHL camps lol. Be curious to see if Karimov plays both nights or just one. If it's just one I hope it's tomorrow so we can see him live haha.

Be interesting to see who starts as well. Surzycia backed up Tuesday so it makes me think maybe he starts. Whoever it is I hope they can have a good outing even if it's vs a lesser LDN lineup. Need to get some confidence going back there.

As we've said all pre season hopefully some of the bubble guys can standout. This was advertised as a CHL TV free game so hopefully that still happens.

That’s how most teams are… I just think it’s not fair to jr B teams either. Also not sure if jr b players can be played so much.

Sting gotta be the team who puts in there lineup for the game the fastest lmao. Lines tonight

Brown-Di Iorio-Doucette
Wainwright-Edwards-Luecke
Sim-Filak-Hall
Franceschetti-Chamberlain-Moses

Bridgewater-Barr
Young-Omeri
Andersen-Hurt

Surzycia starts
Maillet backup

Definitely appears as though that Brown line will be one they start the year with. Good decision IMO. Keep growing that Brown/Di Iorio chemistry.

Wainwright-Edwards have spent a good amount of time together now. Not sure I see that sticking, but is interesting to see & they've been producing.

Love Franceschetti/Moses on the same line. We haven't had a 4th line like them in a long while. Just run around hitting anything that moves.

Strathroy signs Gaughan

Listed today on GOJHL Transactions.

Most likely in the lineup tonight against St. Thomas.

This confirms Chamberlain to start the year in the O

They posted their lineup for tonight & he's not in it. Maybe letting him stay up until after the game tomorrow.

Great decision & not one they've made often lately. It'll do him a lot of good. He'll also get to play with Josh Denes who was Sarnia's 9th round pick & is a player I liked at rookie camp & at camp.

Chamberlain I still question keeping up full time, but he has just kept getting better throughout camp & in the games. Speaks volumes to me Letang had him out a ton on the PK vs Windsor. Got rewarded with 2G.

Puts them down to the 14 Seca wanted. So unless they trade Hall (most likely option) F is pretty much settled. My guess would be Sim, Hall & Chamberlain are the 3 Fs who rotate on Line 4 potentially on a gamely basis.
