Beamish captures OHL rookie of the week honour

For the second time this season, Sarnia Sting forward Liam Beamish has been named the Ontario Hockey League's (OHL) rookie of the week.

The honour is for the week ending on Sunday, March 9.

Beamish opened the week with his first OHL career hat trick on Friday to earn the first star as Sarnia defeated the Guelph Storm 5-1.

He followed that up with a goal on Saturday as the Sting fell 6-2 to the Flint Firebirds.

The 18-year-old Beamsville native has 14 goals and 12 assists for 26 points in 34 games since coming over from the BCHL's Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

He spent last season in the GOJHL playing for the Fort Erie Meteors and was also named GOJHL Golden Horseshoe Rookie of the Year.

Beamish was selected by the Sting in the eighth round (151st overall) of the 2023 OHL Priority Selection.

The Sting have six games remaining in the regular season.

They host the Erie Otters on Wednesday night, and welcome the Soo Greyhounds to town on Friday.
