Reluctant to hand over his GM role, Sardella is currently on the IR after an unfortunate Spelunking incident while on a rescue mission in a Thai cave system. Still, he maintains that he will be ready, willing, and able to guide a team to the WNHL finals for the third year in the row, regardless of circumstance. That sort of determination makes him a player that St.Catharines Stingers fear, but that the rest of the league has endeared to.
