Sat Feb 24 2007 - 40 shots on goal, 40 saves by Sting netminder Parker VanBuskirk en route to a Sarnia 2-0 win over the Oshawa Generals. The Sting got off to a lucky start when a dump in from forward Justin DiBenedetto, from outside the blue line, took a home-team bounce passed Generals goaltender Mark Packwood into the back of the net. DiBenedetto would extend the lead 9 minutes later on his 25th goal of the season, assisted by Mark Katic and VanBuskirk. Sarnia would only muster 18 shots on goal in the game, but it was enough to walk out with the win.

Sat Feb 17 2007 - The Sarnia Sting were arguably robbed of a very valuable extra point in overtime last night, falling 2-1 to the Spirit before 4343 fans in Saginaw. Midway through the extra session, Sting netminder Parker vanBuskirk appeared to have covered the puck. No whistle was blown, the Spirit continued to hack away at the puck, eventually budging it over the line for a Spirit win. Head Coach Dave MacQueen says his team played almost a perfect road game. He adds going back to basics, practicing patience, and solid defense are the keys to the team's new approach. The Sting are now off until Friday when they host John Tavares and the Oshawa Generals at the SSEC.

Kingston would score once in the second, the two teams each scored once in the third to send the game to extra time. With no goals in overtime, the game went to extra shooters in a shootout.

Wed Feb 16 2005 - For many hockey fans it was the inevitable. N-H-L Commissioner Gary Bettman has officially scrapped the season. He broke the news to hockey fans during a news conference in New York this afternoon. The N-H-L is the first major professional league in North America to cancel a season from beginning to end.

Wed Feb 16 2005 - We'll know this morning whether there will be an N-H-L season.

The league made a take-it-or-leave it offer last night -- a proposal that included a 42.5 (m) million-dollar U-S salary cap. The N-H-L gave the union until 11 a-m Eastern Time today to accept that offer.
Commissioner Gary Bettman claims that if teams spent 49 (m) million dollars, total player compensation would top last year's total.

Until Monday, the union said it wouldn't accept any salary cap. That has many players angry with Bob Goodenow. The association changed its stance when the league dropped its demand that N-H-L revenues be linked to player costs. So now the two sides are six and a-half (m) million dollars apart with time running out on the commissioner's deadline for saving the season.

Sun Feb 13 2005 - Sarnia's Mike Weir fired a one over par 73 Saturday and at minus ten is tied for eighth, ten shots off the lead held by Phil Mickelson at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.. Mickelson, looking for his second straight win, has a seven stroke lead over Greg Owen..
