Sarnia Sting player Alessandro Di Iorio eyes NHL opportunities

Sarnia Sting captain Alessandro Di Iorio is preparing for upcoming NHL opportunities following a busy summer that included attending the IIHF under-18 world championship in Slovakia and the NHL draft combine. Di Iorio, who was selected in the third round by the Columbus Blue Jackets, is set to participate in the NHL Prospect Tournament in Detroit.

Meanwhile, the Sarnia Sting are struggling to find early success in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) preseason. The team remains winless after a 6-4 loss to the Flint Firebirds, leaving them to conclude their exhibition schedule with a home-and-home series against the London Knights.
