Sting sign Bax on eve of season opener

The Sarnia Sting have signed over-age forward Jordan Bax to an OHL Standard Player Agreement.

Bax is a Parkhill native who turns 20-years-old in October.

He joins the Sting as a free agent following an impressive season with the Cowichan Valley Capitals (BCHL), where he tallied 15 goals and 26 assists for 41 points in 54 games.

Bax is described as a hardworking, skilled forward who continues to rise through persistence and determination.

Sting General Manager Dylan Seca is excited to welcome Bax to the organization.

“This is an incredible story, a player who’s had to chase his dream through multiple different leagues over the years," said Seca. "Jordan has embraced our identity and is a player who is desperate to play in the OHL and for the Sarnia Sting. We welcome the Bax family to Sarnia.”

Sarnia still has one more over-age spot to fill, if they wish.

Defenceman Mitch Young is the only other 2005-born player on the roster.

Fans can see Bax in action when the Sting take on the Windsor Spitfires in their home opener Friday night at Progressive Auto Sales Arena.

You can hear every game on CHOK.
