Sting add goaltending depth

The Sarnia Sting have added another goaltender to the mix.

On Tuesday, the club announced the signing of Karsen Chartier to an Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Standard Player Agreement.

He was selected by the Sting in the fifth round of the 2022 OHL draft.

The 16-year-old Sudbury native spent the 2021-22 season with the North York Rangers U16 AAA team. He's currently playing on a strong Burlington Eagles U18 AAA club in the South Central Triple-A Hockey League (SCTA) where he will continue to play.

Sting General Manager Dylan Seca is pleased with the signing.

"Karsen had a great training camp and looks to us like a goalie who will play an important role with the hockey club at some point in the future," said Seca. "He has the size and athletic ability that we covet in our goaltenders. Karsen is a deeply committed player and one we’re excited to start working with more."

Meanwhile, goaltender Dylan Grover has been reassigned to the Strathroy Rockets of the GOJHL.

The Sarnia Sting are set to play the Sudbury Wolves for the first time since February of 2020 on Friday night at 7:05 p.m.

They'll head to Hamilton on Saturday to take on the Bulldogs at 4:00 p.m.
