Sarnia Sting miss playoffs again: Are they building towards something or just spinning their wheels?
For the second straight year, the Sarnia Sting have fallen short of the OHL playoffs. This time, they finished ninth in the Western Conference, just two points out of a playoff spot. While there’s talk of the team’s youth and the flashes of potential they showed, is this simply a case of accepting mediocrity? At what point does “young and developing” become a convenient excuse? Is the team’s coaching staff making the right adjustments, or are systemic issues holding them back? Their special teams were near the bottom of the league – is that a personnel problem, a coaching problem, or both?
The Sting are banking on these young players taking another step next year, but what concrete changes need to happen for them to become a playoff contender? Is a coaching change necessary? Do they need to make significant roster moves, or are there internal solutions? Fans in Sarnia deserve a winning team. What needs to happen for the Sting to finally deliver?
Let’s hear your thoughts: Is there reason for optimism in Sarnia, or is this a team destined for another disappointing season next year?
