Sting school day game postponed to next season

The Sarnia Sting game on November 20 at home to the Flint Firebirds will now be played at 7 p.m. at Progressive Auto Sales Arena.

The contest was initially scheduled for 11 a.m. as the team's first annual school day game.

It was designed to give the kids a unique educational experience, combining the game of hockey with a focus on basic skills such as statistics, geography and spelling along with positive messaging such as teamwork, sportsmanship and handwork.

The team says due to "several variables" the game will potentially be debuted next season.

There's labour uncertainty surrounding teachers across Ontario with elementary and high school teachers conducting strike votes.
