Sting Drop Pre-Season Game Against the Reds
Author: Nathan Pascoe

West Nipissing- Sunday September 28, 2025-The Sting continue to iron out some kinks as they dropped their second pre-season game in a row against the Copper Cliff Reds.

The Reds rolled into town ready to play, and it showed with a quick 2-0 lead in the first period of the game. As Bruno Lafond sat in the box for a cross check the Reds (Tousignant) made it 1-0 on a pretty, cross ice feed. By the end of the period, they would score a second. The Reds took one penalty in the first for cross-checking.

                The Reds would continue their offensive push in the game as Peters scored to make it 3-0. As the second period wound down, there was a scary moment as Sting captain Bruno Lafond was helped off the ice after taking a blatant boarding where his head collided with the boards. Luckily, Lafond has a thick skull, and he would be okay. The refs missed the call, and no penalty was assessed. Penalties in the period for the Sting went to Lafond (cross-checking) and Noah Serré (cross-checking). The Reds would take a roughing call.

                With their captain in the room, the Sting looked like they were ready to play. They came out flying in the third period.  Ryerson Davis got his first of the preseason as he potted a beauty from the circle. Shortly afterwards, Gavin Pascoe (Fox) would make it 3-2 with a power play goal that floated over the shoulder of the Reds goalie. Just as things were looking good for the Ultimate Sales Sting, the Reds scored (Peters) making it 4-2. The only penalty in the period went to the Reds for cross-checking.
