Sting Sign Forward Matthew Manza To Hockey Club
The Sarnia Sting announced today the signing of Matthew Manza to an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.
Manza, 17, spent the 2023-24 season with the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Toronto Patriots where he tallied an impressive 26 goals and 23 assists through 49 games played, earning him recognition as the OJHL’s Rookie of the Year, a nomination to the OJHL’s First Prospect Team, as well as the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s Top Rookie honours.
Matthew is set to make his Sting debut this Friday night against the Sudbury Wolves.
On the signing of Manza, General Manager Dylan Seca shares:
“Matthew is a player we’ve been pursuing for quite some time. He’s a skilled player who can produce scoring chances. He’s a proven goal scorer and as a right shot we believe he compliments our group moving forward. With the NCAA rule changes we felt this trade and now signing is yet another influx of talent into our lineup. We expect him to be available for Friday January 17th game vs. Sudbury. We are thrilled to welcome Matthew and the Manza family to Sarnia.”
Manza is committed to play at Ohio State University.
