Sarnia Sting 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part II

[davewheeler]

Over the weekend, Di Iorio and Edwards became the third duo in Sting history to put up 25+ points in their U17 season.

The others were Jakob Chychrun and Jordan Kyrou (2014-2015) in addition to Brandon Francisco and Brett Ritchie (2009-2010)

Karimov would be there too if he didn't ride the pine the first half of the year. Beamish will surely get there too... the future is bright. I wonder if Buzz go defence in the draft..... we've got a ton of good young talent at the front... could be wise to go D.

Worried about wainwright penalty? How about lazy selfish play when on pp for Edward's? And then we had a penalty and fischer take a dumb to negate another penalty? Then wainwright protects his teammate that was folded into the boards from behind while Edward's stood right there? Edward's needs to become a teammate and get some fire, just too soft that should have been his job to go after Bishop! Can't let those hits that could have been alot worse for Di IORIO. Surely Refs got that wrong that was an easy 5 Min call.
There was moses with dumb penalty too. The Franchesschetti call was a clean hit just not a call. But that's the 3 in 3 mental fatigue that comes into play

All in all good weekdn thought we were aweful in guelph but good next 2 games. Kingston is good team we didn't get outplayed except for 4.45 min stretch

I think we can give Edwards a pass... being physical isn't his game and the OHL can be intimidating for a true rookie but I get your point. Sometimes a guy just freezes especially if that guy isn't tough. I'm sure as he gets older he will get into it more.

lol we absolutely should not take a goalie in RD 1. I feel like we should copy LDN and get one in RD2 ... Get a huge goalie 6'2 6'3 kinda guy like LDN did in 2023. IMO we need to keep up with WDS' size the next few years and a big D guy would be ideal. I know DMF has 4 or so great D men and Lucas Nutting from Elgin who's already 6'1... Either way I think we need to get bigger.
