Sarnia, ON –
Sarnia Sting
Head Coach and General
Manager Jacques Beaulieu
announced that the hockey
club has signed forward
Brett Hargrave to an OHL
Contract and Education
Package.
“It is an
exciting day for both the
Sarnia Sting organization
and the Hargrave family.
Our entire scouting staff
was extremely high on Brett
heading into the draft. His
combination of size and his
skill set are rare for a
player his age. Brett moved
to play in the GTHL and
excelled playing with the
top Minor Midget team in the
Province. Again we are
thrilled to have Brett and
his family commit to both
the Sarnia Sting and the
Ontario Hockey League”
commented Jacques Beaulieu.
Ontario
Hockey League Central
Scouting offers the
following scouting report of
Brett.
“Brett has a
very heavy shot and he likes
to shoot the puck in the
offensive zone. He is not
afraid to use his size to
his advantage, especially in
front of the net on the PP.
He has such good hand eye
coordination and he is not
afraid of the abuse in front
of the net. Brett has a
very good understanding of
the game this allows him to
find open ice and be in good
shooting position to score
goals.”

Beaulieu
adds, “We are extremely
pleased to have a commitment
from Brett and his family to
the Sarnia Sting and the
Ontario Hockey League. We
feel Brett is a pro-caliber
player with a bright future
in hockey. As well, in
signing this agreement
should he chose an alternate
route he now has an Ontario
Hockey League Scholarship
available to him. We look
forward to developing Brett
both as a hockey player and
as an individual during his
time with the Sarnia Sting.”
Last season

Hargrave was a key component
to the Rebels capturing the
OHL Cup Championship. In 7
OHL Cup games Hargrave
scored 6 goals en route to
