Close to 100 players showed
up for the annual Sarnia
Legionnaires spring
mini-camp over the weekend.
General manager Bob
Williamson said the total
included 18 goalies, many
from the Toronto area.
So much talent was on hand,
in fact, that Williamson
came away from the three-day
event convinced that the
2015/16 edition of the local
Jr. 'B' hockey will be
highly competitive.
Originally, it was feared
the Legionnaires might face
a tough season next winter
because they are losing 10
players to graduation.
But Williamson said, It
looks like we may only have
to retool, rather than
rebuild. We had a lot of
really good, young,
up-and-coming players show
up who will make the
Legionnaires strong for
years to come. And we've got
a lot of local talent.
In addition to the large
pool of Sarnia-Lambton
skaters who were on hand for
event, players came from the
United States and across
Ontario. We had them from
as far away as North Bay,
Williamson said.
New head coach Mark Davis
was equally enthusiastic.
"We had a great camp, with a
lot of good, young guys, he
said.
The club also announced it
will hold a Mother's Day
season ticket sale on
Saturday, May 9 at the Royal
Canadian Legion on Front
Street.
Season passes will be on
sale from 2 p.m to 5 p.m for
$150, or the same price as
last year.
Reserved seating will be
available at no extra price,
if purchased before June 30.
After that date, it will
cost $20 extra to reserve a
seat for the season.
