Connor Schlichting, Analyst
“Connor was an integral part of the Hockey Club both on and off the ice during his five-year tenure with our program in Sarnia. His work ethic and commitment towards getting better each day was second to none, and I would rank it amongst the best I have ever seen. He exudes character and professionalism in all avenues, and was always a key contributor and leader towards community involvement and the Sting fan base. Amongst his teammates, he was extremely highly regarded and respected. He was an obvious choice when we named him as one of our team captains during his final season with our club.”
– Nick Sinclair, Former General Manager, Sarnia Sting Hockey Club, Canadian Hockey League
