Former Legionnaires doing well
By Dan McCaffery

Two former Sarnia Legionnaires are off to good starts in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League this fall.

Scott Stafford, the one-handed winger who helped the Legionnaires win the Weir Cup in 2009, has two goals and an assist to his credit in just two contests with the Thorold Blackhawks.

And Derek Nap had a goal and two helpers Saturday night as the Strathroy Rockets whipped the St. Thomas Stars 5-0.

The goal was the 20th of Stafford's junior career. The ace penalty killer also has five playoff markers to his credit.

Eleven of his regular season goals and two of his post season scores came during his days in Sarnia.

In all, Stafford has 89 career points to his name, including 73 in the regular season and 16 during playoff action. Fully 64 of those have been assists.

Stafford left Sarnia last season to attend Brock University in St. Catharine's. While there, he suited up with the Blackhawks. Later, he was traded to the Stars, whom he help reached the Weir Cup final. But this season he's back in Thorold.

Nap began his career in Sarnia and scored two goals for the Legionnaires before being traded to the Rockets.
