Sarnia Sting Priority Selections for 2015
April 12, 2015

The Sting opened the 2015 OHL Priority Selection, presented by StateFarm, by choosing Detroit Honeybaked centreman Sasha Chmelevski with the 10^th pick in the first round.

OHL Central Scouting report on Chmelevski:

"Sasha is a very talented forward that possesses the skill set to bring people out of their seats. He does a very good job of protecting the puck and shows a willingness to go to the tough areas to score goals. He sees the ice extremely well and is very unselfish with the puck. Sasha works hard away from the puck to not only retrieve it but to get open as well. He isthe type of player that makes everyone on the ice better. He has the skill, skating, and hockey sense to be a top forward."

The Sting selected 13 players in total; including Sarnia native Nash Nienhuis in the 14^th round (269^th overall).

Sarnia Sting General Manager, Nick Sinclair commented on the selections, “We are very happy with the results from today. Going into the draft each year, we make a strong effort to narrow in on specific players that we feel fit our needs and compliment the style of game we want to play. Today we were able to add a number of players to our organization that we hope will be heavy contributors to the team’s success going forward. Not only were we able to acquire some very high-end talent, but we have also addressed adding character individuals and players with a tendency to compete to our organization.”
