Sarnia, ON – Sarnia Sting General Manager Dave MacQueen has announced that the club has released Import player Ted Brithen.

MacQueen explained the decision to release Brithen.  “Ted and I talked this week and we went over a few things. He wants to play and prefers to go back to Sweden and play on the team he was with last season.  Unfortunately it didn’t work out for him. He said the North American game, the rink size and style of play was something he wasn’t used to. As a last year player in our league, both sides knew he should be playing on one of our top two lines and that wasn’t happening.”

MacQueen reiterated the direction for this year’s club.  “The bottom line for us is we have made a commitment to play our young guys and we aren’t going to have an older player like Ted on the fourth line.”
