“We couldn’t be more excited to get Doherty’s combination of speed, skill, and compete. He’s an exciting player to watch and one that made his teammates better all year.” commented Sting Ontario Scout Mike Neely after the Hockey Club selected the Scarborough, ON native with their first of two third-round picks.
On signing Doherty, Seca adds:
“Sean is a competitive player, who skates very well and has the tools to be an impactful player in our league. He’s also a player who’s committed both on and off the ice. Heading into the draft our scouts loved his speed and passion. We are thrilled to have him signed to his Standard Player Agreement and welcome him, as well as his family, to the Sarnia Sting organization.”
