The Sarnia Sting is hoping for a big turnout for the annual Black and White game as the team, and the city officially welcomes the new ownership.
A pre-game pep rally will get underway two hours prior to the 7:05pm puck drop on September 2, highlighted by a formal welcome from Mayor Mike Bradley, and a few words from new owners, Derian Hatcher and David Legwand.
President Bill Abercrombie says they are hoping to build on the great fan support they received during last year's playoffs.
