Cobourg, ON Stingers folding

March 30th, 2006

The Cobourg Stingers have officially folded due to a few players not returning and the difficulty in finding new players. After attending the ISC II World Tournament last year for the first time it was tough to see the team not return and try to improve. However we would like to personally thank Blair Setford and Bob McGowan for all the work they have done at the ISC II level and helping our team with all of our ISC II issues.

On the bright side, there are 4-5 players from the team who have a serious interest in joining another ISC II team in Ontario. If there are any teams who are looking for some players please contact me @

dbuttar22(at)cogeco.net

Best of luck to everyone this year
