Davis Expands Role With The Legionnaires

Head Coach Mark Davis will return to the Sarnia Legionnaires next season with an expanded role.

While maintaining his role behind the bench, Davis will also become Sarnia's Director of Hockey Operations and Player Personnel.

Davis coached the young Legionnaires to a 23-22-2-3 record, finishing sixth in the GOJHL's Western Conference. The Legionnaires took the veteran LaSalle Vipers to seven games in a hard fought first round series, that was much closer than many expected with two games that went to overtime.

Six players will graduate from last year's team because of age, PJ Vandervaart, Konnor Roskovich, Brandon Layman, Ryan Trottier, Jordan Fogarty and leading scorer Ryan Vendramin. Fogarty will attend Princeton University next season on a hockey scholarship.

Sarnia will have several players eligible to return for next season, including a good core of 1998 and 1997 born players.

Davis says he will be kept busy this summer with his new roles.
