Hey, thanks for all the info on the Legionnaires. Do you know any histories for other teams of the era? Do you have the Legionnaires logo? Also, do you happen to have any old standings? I appreciate your help and hope you have more to add. DMighton (talk) 07:29, 29 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey Dano, we should add sources for the information you've added.... where did you get it? An example of sources can be found on the Stratford Cullitons article. DMighton (talk) 00:44, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Most of the material comes from microfilm of the Sarnia Observer.

Team lineups come from a souvenir program from the 1969-70 season, which I bought as a 16-year-old for 25 cents

I saw most of the home games of the team's last six seasons

Beautiful. Check this out... myself and I guy named Dave put this together:

Anyways. The program... we need author and publisher/printer. And we need approximate dates of Observer articles. Speaking of Espo by the way, I met him about four years ago at the Devonshire Mall here in Windsor. Got his autograph for my dad -- an ole Bruins fan. DMighton (talk) 01:00, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don't know if you were a Sarnia Bees fan too... but I am looking for WOJHL standings from the 1971-72, 1972-73, and 1973-74 seasons. I have 1969-71 and 74-07... but I am missing that three year gap from 71-74. If you can get your hands on it... I would greatly appreciate it. Also... if you are a Sarnia fan... see also have articles for the Sarnia Blast (which really needs some work) and the Sarnia Sting. DMighton (talk) 01:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

The program does not list an author or a publisher. It is just a list of the lineups for a game with the St. Thomas Barons in 1969/70. It includes the rosters of every Legionnaire team in history on its inside pages. But in each case there is only a first initial and then a last name. 'P. Esposito' for example. I knew a lot of the first names, having grown up with the team, and am gathering the rest through microfilm.It was put together and paid for by Sarnia Branch 62 of the Royal Canadian Legion. I would refer to it as 'The 1969/70 Souvenir Program of the Sarnia Legionnaires produced by Sarnia Branch 62 of the Royal Canadian Legion.'

The Observer articles come from the months of October to April for each year under discussion. Under the heading inaugural season, it would be safe to say material comes from the Sarnia Observer back issues from Oct. 1954 until April 1955.

I don't know too much about them but will see what I can find.
