The Sarnia Sting have signed 16-year-old goalie Blair Coffin to a standard player agreement and education package.
The 6'4'', 220 lbs Dunnville native was chosen by the Sting in the ninth round of the OHL draft out of the Southern Tier Admirals Minor Midget program.
The big-bodied netminder had a terrific showing at the 2016 OHL Gold Cup, posting a 2-1-0 record with a 0.81 GAA and .969 save percentage.
In five starts with the Welland Jr. Canadiens of the GOJHL this season, Coffin is 2-3-0 with a GAA of 3.57 and a .904 save percentage.
Sarnia Sting GM Nick Sinclair is pleased to add Coffin.
“Since we selected Blair in April, he has worked hard and shown great signs of development over the off-season. He was excellent at the OHL Gold Cup and had a very strong showing at our Orientation Camp in May," says Sinclair. "He was solid again at our Main Camp this fall and has gotten off to a good start with Welland of the GOJHL this season. We’re happy to welcome Blair and his family to the Sarnia Sting Hockey Club, and look forward to working with him in the years to come.”
