The Sarnia Legionnaires are excited about the signing of two local players for the upcoming 2015-2016 season.

Centreman Alec Dekoning of Sombra, and defenceman Eric Marsh of Wyoming will be in a Legionnaires uniform for the start of the regular season.

General Manager Bob Williamson announced the signing of the 1998 born prospects during a news conference Thursday.

Marsh spent last season with Alvinston (Jr. C) while Dekoning excelled with the Lambton AAA Major Midget.

Williamson says both players are excited to get the season started.
