Sting Acquire Carnevale From Spitfires

Press Release

Sarnia, On – General Manager Jacques Beaulieu announced this afternoon the Sarnia Sting Hockey Club has acquired overage forward Taylor Carnevale from the Windsor Spitfires.

The Sting have sent their own 2nd round pick in the 2015 OHL Priority Selection as well as a 3rd round pick in 2014 and a 2nd round pick in 2016 that originally belonged to Windsor and were acquired by the Sting in a earlier transaction.

Carnevale produced big numbers last season splitting time between the Barrie Colts and the Spitfires. In 63 games the native of Mississauga would score 35 goals and 35 assists for 70 points.

Beaulieu explains his thoughts on the transaction.

“Its an exciting day for the organization to acquire a player with the skill level of Taylor. He is a dynamic forward who put up big points last season. Combined with the elite level forwards we already have on our roster there is no reason to believe he wont put up even bigger numbers this season. We’re instantly a stronger team five on five but also Taylor will make our power play that much better as well. I think our fans will be excited to see Taylor and what he can bring to the table.”
