The Sarnia Sting's tradition of moving players onto the next level continues.
Four members of last year's squad are making their way to the American Hockey League to practice for the duration of the playoffs.
St. Louis Blues prospect Jordan Kyrou has been assigned to the Chicago Wolves, while graduating goalie Justin Fazio has signed an Amateur Tryout Contract with the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick Ryan McGregor will be practicing with the Toronto Marlies, and Arizona Coyotes farmhand Cam Dineen will be with the Tucson Roadrunners.
In four seasons with the Sarnia Sting, the 19-year-old Kyrou scored 99 goals and added 191 assists in 250 regular season contests. Fazio is coming off of his overage season with the Sting. He compiled a career regular season record of 92-62-10-3 with a 3.26 GAA and .900 save percentage. This past season, he set a franchise wins record with 92, games played record with 172, and single-season wins record with 37.
McGregor, 19, has 83 career points in 173 regular season games including 13 goals and 19 assists in 50 games this past season. Dineen came over to the Sting in a midseason trade with the North Bay Batallion. He had 28 points in 26 regular season games with the Sting. For his OHL career, the 19-year-old defenceman has 39 goals and 98 helpers for 137 points in 162 regular season games.
Kyrou, McGregor, and Dineen could all return to the Sarnia Sting next season.
