The Sarnia Sting have announced today that
Alex Galchenyuk will make his regular season
debut this Wednesday night versus the
Saginaw Spirit at the RBC Centre in Sarnia.
Galchenyuk has yet to play a game this
season as the result of a knee injury that
occurred on September 16th versus
the Windsor Spitfires in the pre-season.
Sarnia Sting General Manager Jacques
Beaulieu released the following statement
regarding the return of Galchenyuk.
“It’s a very exciting day both for Alex and
his family along with our organization. It
was unfortunate this injury occurred however
injuries are a part of the game and we have
all dealt with it as best we could. This is
a testament to Alex and the work ethic he
possesses. It was truly incredible to watch
how hard Alex worked throughout his
rehabilitation. Also a lot of credit needs
to be given to Dr. Giffin and his staff at
the Fowler Clinic and our entire team of
Doctors including Dr. Vargo and Dr.
Barwitzki”
Beaulieu on how the club prepares to use
Alex in the upcoming games. “Its great that
Alex is able to get in a few games prior to
the playoffs to help regain some of that
game shape that will take some time, that
being said how much he plays and in what
situations he plays will be monitored very
closely. We have to keep in mind what is
best for Alex not just this season but for
his career moving forward. He has a bright
future in this game and that is always the
top priority when dealing with any of our
players.”
The Sting will host the Saginaw Spirit
Wednesday at the RBC Centre for the final
home game of the regular season. Tickets
can be purchased at the Box Office or by
