Sarnia Sting 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[StingUpdates]

Ncaa CHL agreement is official. Big day for Jr hockey. Exciting but also scary at the same time. Should lead to more 16/17 yr old kids staying/coming to the CHL. USHL is taking a major hit.

But in a league where the older teams usually are the best & usually win how many 19/20 yr old kids will leave for the NCAA?

For us as @stingwagoner has said, Wainwright & Young are 2 guys who project as great OAs next year. Will one or both get NCAA interest & wanna leave for it? If they did that would hurt the team drastically in a yr where they may compete.

Hoping players get options to stay as OAs keep playing in best league rather than jump to NCAA, but I do see some OAs taking opportunity to start schooling in best league for that. If either one gets drafted that could affect what they do next year.
Very interesting as look for some players commited to come to CHL as well.

Hoping we get wainwright back for these weekend games?

Edwards gets 1 assist in a team Canada white win. Advance to the semi's along with Di Iorio & Canada red. Might be playing each other tomorrow, but not sure on that.

No suspension listed today, but sometimes they take 2 days to announce any. I'd frankly be surprised if he got any games. Confidence level is real low for both games this weekend. Just want this damn trip to be over & for us to get back 9/13/17/81.
