Easton Wainwright commits to Sting

Sarnia, ON. – Sarnia Sting General Manager Dylan Seca announced today that the Hockey Club has signed 16-year-old forward Easton Wainwright to an Ontario Hockey League Standard Player Agreement.

“We’re thrilled to sign Easton and want to welcome him and his family to the Sarnia Sting organization.” Comments General Manager Dylan Seca.
