Legionnaires Announce Pair Of Signings

The Sarnia Legionnaires continue to build their roster for the upcoming Greater Ontario Jr. Hockey League season.

The team held a news conference Saturday evening to announce the signings of local defenceman Nash Nienhuis and Michigan-born goalie Jorgen Johnson.

The 16-year-old Nienhuis tallied two goals and eight points along with 51 penalty minutes in 31 games with the Lambton Jr. Sting Midget AAA program last season.

He also registered two assists in five regular season games with the Legionnaires, and one assist in five playoff matches.

He was chosen in the 14th round of the 2016 OHL draft by the Sarnia Sting.

Johnson, 19, is coming off a great season. He posted a 2.12 goals against average and .920 save percentage in 17 games with the Victory Honda U-18 program. His team won the Michigan state championship and took part in the national tournament.
