[edit] History
The Golden Hawks played in the Central Junior C Hockey League. For a short time, Trenton was also home to the Trenton Bobcats, relocated from and eventually back to Belleville, Ontario.
In 1989, the team moved over to the Eastern Ontario Junior C Hockey League that season, inwhich they stayed until 1995. In 1995, the ownership of the team was granted the rights to a Junior "A" team.
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 have recently been sold to a private group and have changed their name to the Quinte West Pack. After the name change, the Pack played the franchises' worst season wince 1996-97. On April 10, 2008, the franchise was renamed the Trenton Hercs. [1]
