Sarnia Legionnaires scoring star Jesse Drydak reached a milestone last week that no one seems to have noticed.
The 19-year-old right-winger scored the 50th goal of his junior career Sept. 16 in a game against the Strathroy Rockets. Before anyone realized he'd reached that plateau, the Camlachie resident notched his 51st in a contest against St. Thomas.
Drydak, who was born in Petrolia, also has 47 career assists, giving him a total of 98 points in 102 games, going back to the 2008/09 campaign. Needless to say, his next two points will bring him up to the century mark.
In his rookie campaign, Drydak notched 16 goals to help the Legionnaires win the Western Jr. 'B' championship. Last year, he led the club in scoring, finding the back of the net 32 times. |

Cicchini still leads
The career scoring leader among active Legionnaires is Tyler Cicchini, who has 111 points to his credit, including 54 goals and 57 helpers.
Another skater expected to crash through the 100-point barrier shortly is Chase Clark, who has 94 behind his name, including 45 goals.

All-time
records
The
Western
Jr. 'B'
record
book
lists
Sarnia's
all-time
franchise
career
points
leader
as
Dominik
Rozman,
who
collected
183
between
the
years
2000 and
2004. He
also has
the most
career
Jr. 'B'
goals
for a
Sarnia
player,
with 91.
Don
Gordon
is
actually
the
all-time Legionnaire
career
scoring
leader,
with
more
than 120
goals to
his
credit.
But
close to
50 of
those
were
racked
up
during
the 1969
season,
when the
Legionnaires
were
playing
Tier II
Jr. 'A'
hockey.
It's
debatable
whether
Tier II
Jr. 'A'
is any
better
than Jr.
'B' but,
for
official
purposes,
Rozman
has the
franchise
record.
Here are
other
Sarnia
Jr. 'B'
all-time
scoring
marks:
-
Most
points
in a
season,
108
by
Phil
Esposito,
who
played
with
the
Legionnaires
in
1961.
-
Most

68,
by
Steve
Stefanko,
who
set
that
milestone
while

the

Legionnaires.
-
Most
goals
in a
single
season,
72,
by
Bill
Lochead,
who
set
the

in
1971.
That
is
still
an
