The Sarnia Sting announced Saturday that General Manager Nick Sinclair will not be returning to the team for another Ontario Hockey League season.
Sinclair said he's decided to pursue other career opportunities.
"I would like to thank Derian Hatcher and David Legwand for the opportunity they have afforded me over the last five seasons with the Hockey Club," said Sinclair.
Sinclair was hired by Rob and Larry Ciccarelli in 2014.
"I have had the pleasure of working alongside some incredible people during my time in Sarnia. I want to extend my deepest appreciation to the hockey operations and support staff, the business team and entire Sting scouting staff. Most importantly I want to thank all the players I have had the opportunity and pleasure of watching play for this organization during my time here."

The Sting organization thanked Sinclair for his dedication to the team and is wishing him "nothing but the best" in the future.
Since taking the reins in 2014, Sinclair posted a combined record of 198-165-39 that included two seasons with franchise records in wins and the team's first conference semi-final appearance since 2008.
