The Sarnia Sting have signed 16-year-old ahead Ryder Simpson to an Ontario Hockey League Scholarship and Growth Settlement.
Simpson was the Sting’s 4th spherical choose, 81st total, within the 2024 OHL Precedence Choice.
The Guelph native tallied 12 objectives and 11 assists in 33 video games final season with the Guelph Jr. Gryphons U16 AAA group.
He has three factors in 4 video games thus far this season with the Cambridge Redhawks of the GOJHL.
In a information launch, Sting Common Supervisor Dylan Seca commented on Simpson’s signing.
“Ryder is a aggressive participant who embodies all of the qualities of being a Sting,” mentioned Seca. “He’s a tough employee, skates nicely, performs with a ton of jam and possesses elite character. He’s a participant who will proceed his growth with Cambridge of the GOJHL and be out there as an affiliate participant all through the season.”
Simpson was set to make his Sting debut on Wednesday night time in opposition to the Owen Sound Assault.
