Among transactions by the Legionnaires leading up to the home opener, they’ve signed Sting under-18 draft choice Olivier Romain, Russian forward Anton Smirnov and goaltender Justin Audet while releasing last year’s leading scorer Carter Fogarty to Pickering of the OJHL.
Meantime, Watford’s Blake Verberne has signed with the Chatham Maroons. The former LCCVI and Lambton Jr. Sting goaltender played last season with Dresden of the PJHL.
