Sarnia, ON – Sarnia Sting Head
Coach and General Manager Jacques Beaulieu announced
today that the hockey club has signed defenceman
Anthony DeAngelo to an OHL Contract and Education
Package.
“We are extremely excited to get Anthony signed.
Anthony was one of the top players available in the
draft who was rated in the first round of this
year’s draft. It is a credit to our ownership and
the strength of our organization that we could
convince Anthony and his family that the Sting and
the OHL would be the best decision to continue his
development both on and off the ice” commented
Jacques Beaulieu.
Ontario Hockey League Central Scouting offers the
following scouting report of Anthony.
“DeAngelo is a highly skilled puck moving defenseman
who possesses a ton of physical tools and ability.
He is an excellent skater displaying great mobility,
speed and quickness. He played a real high risk,
high reward style of game that was almost purely
focused on creating offensive chances and
opportunities but really reigned in his game this
season, playing a more controlled and simpler game.
DeAngelo has a very good stick, and he does show
confidence in his ability to handle the puck and
make plays.”
Beaulieu adds, “We are extremely pleased to have a
commitment from Anthony and his family to the Sarnia
Sting and the Ontario Hockey League. Anthony is a
very talented mobile defenceman who will be a very
good player in this league. Last season he played on
the top team in the USHL as a 15-year old which is a
testament to his ability. He has the potential to
become a professional hockey player however he now
also has the option and the security of a OHL
Scholarship if he chooses to further his education.”
DeAngelo played last season for Cedar Rapids of the
USHL and was the youngest player in the league. He
would record 15 points in 28 games with Cedar Rapids
in helping the Roughriders to a 2010-2011 USHL
Championship.
