  The Sarnia Sting became an OHL franchise in 1994-95 after moving from Newmarket, where they were called the Royals. Previous to that, the franchise was located in Cornwall where they were also called the Royals.

  The Sting have been quietly successful since moving to Sarnia and have been a big producer of professional grade hockey players. Currently, there are 67 Sarnia Sting alumni playing at various levels of professional hockey throughout the world. Six of those players are playing at the ultimate level, the NHL. Keep in mind that to be considered an alumnus, a player need only play one game with the team.

  Sarnia Sting grads can be found playing in 9 different countries throughout the hockey world – Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, Italy, Russia, Sweden and, of course, Canada and the United States. The list is as follows:
