Sarnia, ON – Sarnia Sting Head Coach and General
Manager Jacques Beaulieu announced today that the
hockey club has signed forward Ryan Kujawinski to an
OHL Contract and Education Package.
“It is an exciting day for both the Sarnia Sting
organization and the Kujawinski family. Jim Debenham
and our entire Scouting Staff were excited to draft
Ryan 4th overall. His combination of size and his
skill set are rare for a player his age. Ryan has
continued to improve at every level and his draft
stock rose throughout the season. Again we are
thrilled to have Ryan 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 Ryan.
“Kujawinski is an offensive minded forward that
possesses some natural ability and physical tools.
He possesses size, a very good stick and he can
skate. Once he is up to full stride he displays some
speed and deceptive quickness to stay on the play,
and he always seems to be around the puck. He is at
his best when he has the puck on his stick and
handles it with a ton of confidence. He loves to
attack on the rush and isn’t afraid to attack one on
one. He started to use his linemates more
effectively as the season progressed.”
Beaulieu adds, “We are extremely pleased to have a
commitment from Ryan and his family to the Sarnia
Sting and the Ontario Hockey League. We feel Ryan 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 Ryan both as a hockey player and as an
individual during his time with the Sarnia Sting.”
Last season with the Sudbury Wolves Minor Midget
team, Kujawinski scored 35 goals in 24 games and
would add 21 assists for 56 points.
