Steven Stamkos travelled north of the border to Sarnia, Ontario for the retirement and banner raising of his number 91 with the OHL’s Sarnia Sting. Stamkos spent two seasons in Sarnia racking up an astonishing 197 points (100g, 97a) in 124 games. [BlackBurn News]
And in case you didn’t realize how much pull Stammer still has in Canada, the 50/50 raffle - the winning ticket in a raffle contest gets to take home half of all the money raised in the raffle. The other half goes to charity - reached a record number during the game that followed Stamkos’ banner raising.
