Sad. Just sad. Maybe even more sad by a bad organization to actually draft this player.Guest wrote: ↑Sat Apr 12, 2025 10:22 pm Wonder if Mark Glavin, the Director of Hockey Administration of the Sarnia Sting had anything to do with it.

At best Junior C. Even then it’s becoming a better league.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Apr 14, 2025 6:58 pmThe draft is about projections. Anyone taken after round 11 is a favour or based on taking a flyer on a kid with some size. Any scout walking the arena takes 1 look at his parent’s height and that’s where things end. Kid put up stats on a team with 10 kids and all 5 D drafted. That is not translating to OHL success at that size. He’s a good little player, not worth a pick.

Tried it last year and not very organized. Do not recommendGuest wrote: ↑Mon Apr 14, 2025 7:04 pmBP8 is definitely better than Spero performance. They over charge and workouts are in basement of a restaurantGuest wrote: ↑Fri Apr 04, 2025 10:36 amYa BP8 have taken over most hockey players and they run the the high school programs.

Re: 2009 Alliance
They and Windsor are not doing this ‘tryout’. They’re running as usual vs doing an organizational fundraiser from the lack of u10-u16 players that’ll show up due to open borders. The 09 group really gets the screw this year between the USOHL and U18 spring tryouts before jr camps.Guest wrote: ↑Tue Apr 15, 2025 7:34 am Why has u18 Sarnia Junior Sting have not posted tryout time?

Re: 2009 Alliance
Looking at the draft list. Cpl good picks from the alliance.
Couple surprises to mes
Only one goalie taken. He was the top goalie in the league so it made sense but u thought 1-2 more would have been taken.
Good pick grabbing Hayes from Windsor
SHOCKED is an understatement seeing 7 go before 16 from Elgin
Equally shocked seeing 7,6,88 D men from HPL go at all , more so 6,88
Surprised not to see Logan Y from Kitchener not drafted. He’s good enough when you factor in many other picks that went.
Balcar from London not being drafted is also a bit of a surprise when you see some horrible D men go
The little fella from HPL who had been telling people he was going didn’t go. No surprise, ego bursted
17 London, thought he would maybe go as well.
Maine from SCP , how much was paid?
My thoughts anyways

Re: 2009 Alliance
Good thoughts, agree on most. LY (KIT), JB/BT (LJK) not getting drafted and seeing players like CL (SAR) and GK (EMC) get picked is actually laughable. Neither of those two will sniff an OHL roster. Maine from SCP is a decent player, far better D than GK.Guest wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 7:17 am Looking at the draft list. Cpl good picks from the alliance.

Re: 2009 Alliance
Congrats to the Alliance kids that deserved it. To the parents of the kids that were selected based on family contacts you should understand everyone knows, the kids know and it’s laughable. It’s exactly what’s wrong with hockey.Guest wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 8:00 amGood thoughts, agree on most.

The Sarnia picks other than the stud are the most laughable. Give me a break.
