DeAngelo Named Defenceman Of The Year

Former Sarnia Sting Anthony DeAngelo has been named OHL Defenceman of the Year.

The 19-year-old Sewell, New Jersey native is the fifth American-born player to win the Max Kaminsky Trophy.

He was selected 26th overall by the Sting in 2011 and would go on to set a franchise record for career points by a defenceman, surpassing Mark Katic, with 190 in 210 games.

DeAngelo beat out five finalists for the award including Sting rookie defenceman Jakob Chychrun.
