Edwards continues to impress...a lot of these true rookies have kind of hit the rookie wall the last quarter of the season... except Edwards and Mbuyi... Edwards is doing all of this with the most inept coaching staff we've maybe ever seen here.

Yep he’s a good damn player, moron Letang hardly used him all year long especially the first half. He probably should have 20 more points if he was used properly, but Letang ruined his confidence with poor player management. I hope the scouts got out enough to notice Letang was a bad coach and hardly played him. Should have been a 2nd or 3rd round pick, probably be a 6th or 7th rounder or maybe not get drafted at all because of Letang. Big game Friday night! Sting MUST LOSE!!!

Awful D tonight loses us this game. Also OS wins now only 1pt behind us. Maillet needs to start Friday Surzycia doesn't deserve it after allowing 17 goals in his last 3 starts. We've allowed 21 goals in are last 3 games hard to win that way.
Penalties by fischer pizzas by Fiacher and just a D core that doesnt focus on d 1st in own end. Yes Surzycia was below average again tonight but getting peppered Sat and Sunday last weekend surely doesn't instill confidence for this one. Letang always seems to make dumb decisions. Anyway I'm not too broke up over the loss owen sounds win is huge pits us with back against the wall. Have to beat soo 2xs and steal one from a better team. As ugly as it was if want to be in games can't take 4 min high sticks or delay of game penalties like did tonight and need better back stopping and quicker puck moving from D just lack in that aspect but that's lack of coaching
Hoping for letang to take press conference tonight.

Sarnia Sting GM Dylan Seca tells fans better days are ahead
General manager Dylan Seca knows the Sarnia Sting’s up-and-down season has frustrated some fans.
www.theobserver.ca
Good F*cking god this interview is as bad as it gets. Feels like he's speaking directly to us LOL.
The LAST thing I wanna read is this has been a positive season, there are good things etc..
Alarming on so many levels.
Only fun thing is the last part. Seems to really indicate they will be signing a few of their draft picks from recent years that are BCHL/USHL.

To add on to my last post.
He can say we like what we've seen from our rookies & we like Brown, Beamish play in 2025 etc. But don't say this is where we wanted to be, this is going as planned. The hell is that.
Such loser talk. Oh we are so giddy to be 1 point out of a playoff spot with 5 games left. We are oh so happy we've let in the most goals in the league. Oh its so excited our special teams are JR B level.
like come on. maybe he thinks that way but don't act all happy to the fans & make it seem like we are overreacting. Makes it sound like Letang isn't going anywhere & that's a huge issue.
praying this is all media talk & behind closed doors they are unhappy with the staff.

be a bit disappointing if Legwand sells. Guy at least was an agent for awhile so he'd have connections & be respected as an owner. If there's any truth to it.

As for the game they actually put in a good effort tonight. that was Moses best OHL game. He was unreal. that Edwards shot on SAR 5th goal was outrageous. kid is scoring 50 in a season at 18 or 19. Karimov was awesome. 2G, so many chances, set up some too. utterly baffling that kid was stapled B6 all yr.
back to back games Beamish shows he can chuck 'em! Other guy was 5 inches bigger & he took it to him! Filak's best game of 2025. Barr 1A, +3.
Fischer was awful tonight. He didnt have it at all. Same goes for Surzycia who couldn't come up with a big save all night. No way he should've started all these games in a row esp after being pulled b2b games vs flt/ldn. Now who do u go to Friday in a must win? More idiocy.
OS won so 1PT ahead of them. 2 ahead of SSM who's here Friday. it isn't a long shot to say this team may not win another game.
Pretty much a must-win Friday.

I hate everything said in this article. He sounds like a politician. I wish our local media would start asking him tough questions....

I really hope this isn't true. I don't think Legwand has been bad, he hasn't been great either I just think his focus has been elsewhere lately. His prime focus should be the team but if it's not he should probably sell. I think if he really focuses in on the Sting they can be in a great position. I think having his kid on the Sting would regain his focus. We will see tho. Hopefully Guy's dad has some deep pockets. I don't know where Guy lives but imo we need a local owner... not some dude in Toronto who's clueless... We'll see.

Assuming Seca isn't lying (why would he) about some older draft picks wanting to come over.. Here are the guys that would fit that bill.
2024: they'd be 17 next season
11th - Nicholas Bogas - 6'0" LHD. 1G/10A in 46 USHL GP. Leads all rookie D in scoring @SarniaStingFan mentioned a few weeks ago. *Committed to Michigan state not sure what year*
11th - Easton Walos - 5'11" C. 2G/7A in 42 GP in BCHL (same team Beamish was on). Last yr he had 89 points in 58 games. Supposed to be a pretty good player. *not committed anywhere*
2023: they'd be 18 next season
8th - Nicholas Kosiba - 6'0" RW. 4G/4A in 33 USHL GP. *committed to western michigan for 2026-2027.
8th - Patrick Quinlan - 6'2 G. 10-5-0, 0.876 Sv%. *committed to Notre Dame for next season*
14th - Chase Jette - 5'10" winger. 8G/8A in 46 USHL GP. *committed to wisconsin for 2026-2027*
On the likelihood scale I'd have to guess Kosiba is at the top. Isn't being given any ice time by Waterloo. He liked my tweet back in DEC about me wanting Sarnia to sign him too lol.
Bogas or Walos would be really nice. Bogas especially is supposed to be pretty damn good. But if he's committed for 26-27 wouldn't feel as great. If he was for 2 years it would be massive. Potential #1 D to replace Fischer in 26-27.
Quinlan is weird. Was very highly touted, but he's had a rough yr going by the stats. I cant imagine he'd get any starts at Notre Dame next yr so I wonder if he's a real possibility with starting goalie being a huge ? for us. could guarantee him 45-50 starts. High upside.
Jette is a solid player. Be a boost up front, but if he's only here 1 season not sure its worth it.
Also mentioned free agents so no clue who that would be obviously. A forward with some size would be perfect. Or maybe that's where they find a goalie.

I do hope they don't go overboard though. Looking at next years roster. there isn't a ton of room already & they'll be adding a 1st RD pick + two 2nd rounders + an import most likely.
Brown-Beamish-Karimov
Wainwright-Edwards-Kostuch
Manza-Di Iorio-????
Luecke-??-??
Chamberlain, Gaughan, Simpson as 16 turning 17 yr olds who will fight to make team/already gotten a taste.
Realistically you'd hope all three or at least 2 of those guys make the team or they weren't great picks in the 3rd/4th/5th rounds.
On D
Fischer-Young
Hurt-O'Brien
Barr-Bridgewater
Andersen
+ Neusteter, Garrett & assume one of their two 2nds is a D.
Obviously those guys I listed as potential signings are better than a lot of our guys, but if they are only here for 1 season it isn't worth letting go guys like Gaughan/Simpson/Luecke for cheap IMO. And we already lose our mind at certain guys getting no ice time if you add 2-3-4 legit players that'll only become a bigger issue.
Perfect world to me sign Kosiba, Bogas & Quinlan.
Kosiba L3 RW or L2 RW if Kostuch isn't the player he was/needs time to figure it out.
Bogas starts on 3rd pair, but hopefully gets more & more ice time
Quinlan is your starter.

I’m not sure where you put them, if they are forwards we can probably take one of them that will play in our top 9 especially if kostuch comes back. I’d imagine we can take one on the back end. Definitely can use one in net, but I think they should let Bodin walk and use that import pick on a goalie. He may be excited about bringing these players in because of the new rule, but every other team is going to do the same thing, and teams like Windsor London and Kitchener will still have better luck getting guys to come over. I think it was an absolute slap in the face to say that to us, to defend your terrible coaching staff with 6 games left, this team SHOULD easily be sitting comfortably in 6th place and pushing for 5th their coaches are 100% the reason they are fighting for a playoff spot. To lie and say this is where he thinks the team should be in a second year of a rebuild is down right embarrassing. You should never regress during a rebuild in this league, in the NHL sure but not this development league when players get older stronger and faster each year. If nothing is done about the coaching staff right when the season is over I’m 100% done with this team. It’s a disgrace to defend your incompetent coaching staff and publicly lie to your fans that pay to watch this team. Sting definitely seen me constantly bashing the coaching staff on their instagram and twitter posts. LolSarnia Sting GM Dylan Seca tells fans better days are ahead

I think Legwands attention will switch to the sting starting this offseason, he has coached his sons AAA team the last couple of years, and his sons draft year is this year, so his so I’ll most likely be playing junior in the states or Ontario at some level, Legwand won’t be coaching him Next year.
Idk I think bogas would be the only player I’d want, Kosiba had a good AAA career but was on absolutely stacked little Caesars teams. Quinlan has been absolutely terrible since leaving AAA, two terrible years for the USNTDP. Not sure if either of them improve in the OHL. Sure you can try but Kosiba could be another Tarasevich or namestnikov. And Quinlans numbers have been extremely bad on good teams, not sure if I’d rely on him being a starter.

for sure. sucks they don't have a guy like Pridham for Kitchener who is a CHI 3rd rounder. Naturally they started going safer which I liked & then the NCAA CHL agreement happened, haha.
To be fair Beamish' numbers sucked too & hes near point per game with us. Just like how if we traded Karimov somewhere they'd say this kid only has 28 points what are we doing. But if u asked us wed say he would put up 45-50 with better coaching haha.
Quinlan I probably agree on the most. He didnt look all that good in the CHL vs NDTP game either.
Id be happy getting Kosiba, Bogas & taking an import goalie. Getting 1 of Kosiba, Jette, Walos or a free agent F + taking an import F + drafting a F round 1 would make our F group wayyyy over crowded.
And def on your point about LDN KIT getting even better kids. I bet we see so many signings from BCHL USHL in the summer. It'll be comical. LDN will rebuild half there team just thru that and be elite again lmao.
