TheTrenton Sting were a Junior "A"ice hockey team fromTrenton,Ontario, Canada. They were a part of theOntario Junior Hockey League.

In 1981, theBelleville Bobcats of theMetro Junior B Hockey League moved to Trenton. In 1987, the Bobcats moved back to Belleville, but Trenton was granted a Junior C franchise in theCentral Ontario Junior C Hockey League.

In 1989, the team moved over to theEastern Ontario Junior C Hockey League that season, in which they stayed until 1995. In 1995, the ownership of the team was granted the rights to a Junior "A" team, and renamed the Sting.

To fill the void in the Junior "C" loop, the Sting created a farm team known as the Brighton Buzz. After two seasons, the Buzz became the Colborne Blackhawks. Two seasons later, the team folded.

The Sting were sold to a private group and changed their name to theQuinte West Pack. After the name change, the Pack played the franchises' worst season since 1996-97. On April 10, 2008, the franchise was renamed theTrenton Hercs.[1]

Effective noon January 8, 2009, the Trenton Hercs folded for the remainder of the 2008-09 season. After 37 games, the Hercs record was 14 wins, 20 losses, and 3 overtime losses. It was confirmed shortly after that the franchise is officially defunct.[2]

When the Sting jumped from Junior C to Junior A, they formed a team in the area as a feeder, this team quickly fizzled out in four years. From 1995 until 1997 they were known as the Brighton Buzz, from 1997 until 1999 they were known as the Colborne Blackhawks. Their entire existence was in theEmpire B Junior C Hockey League.
