It's a signing that many Sarnia Sting fans have been patiently waiting for.
The club has officially signed forward Brenner Lammens who was selected 4th overall in the 2025 OHL Priority Selection.
Lammens captained the Toronto Red Wings U16 AAA team this past season, recording 17 goals, 19 assists, and 36 points through 26 games in the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL).
Sting General Manager Dylan Seca said Lammens' strong leadership, physical presence, and ability to impact the game offensively made him one of the most highly regarded players in this year’s draft class.
“This is a really exciting day for Brenner, his family, and our organization,” said Seca. “We drafted him 4th overall because we love the mix his game provides. He’s a character player who plays in your face, can shoot the puck, has great instincts around the net, and competes in the hard areas. Those intangibles are tough to find, and we believe they’ll help us build a championship team. From the start, we knew Brenner was excited to be a Sting, and we’re thrilled to have him officially join us. We can’t wait to see him at training camp on Monday.”
The Sting said signing Lammens reflects the organization’s commitment to drafting and developing players who not only bring elite talent, but also the leadership and drive necessary to compete for an OHL Championship.
Lammens commented on the commitment.
"Thank you to the Sting organization for believing in me. I am so proud and excited to be a member of the Sarnia Sting,” said Lammens. "I will always give the Sarnia Sting my best on and off the ice. Let’s win an OHL Championship and a Memorial Cup together."
Fans will get their first opportunity to see Lammens in action when the Sting open training camp on Monday, August 25, at Progressive Auto Sales Arena.
