[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]OTTAWA, ON \u2013<\/b> It hasn\u2019t been easy, but the #3 Ottawa 67\u2019s have picked up three wins over the #6 Kingston Frontenacs to give them the chance to sweep in Kingston on Thursday, April 2nd at 7:05 p.m. for Game 3 of the 2026 OHL Playoffs presented by Nissan. Fans can tune in to the game at home via Flo Hockey or listen to TSN 1200 for play-by-play from Kenny Walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overager Cooper Foster led the 67\u2019s in the regular season with a career high 64 points in 64 games. He\u2019s been off to a rolling start, helping lead the 67\u2019s in playoff points with five, courtesy of a three-assist night in Game 3. Defenseman Kohyn Eshkawkogan, who was recently ranked among Scott Wheeler of The Athletic\u2019s top prospects for the 2027 NHL Draft, is tied with Foster at five points. He\u2019ll look to bounce back from a point-less Game 3 after procuring four in Game 1 and another in Game 2. Defensively, Kaleb Dietsch has elevated his game in the postseason. After missing most of Game 1, he\u2019s tallied an assist in each game since.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the Frontenacs, they were led by Alex McLean in the regular season with 45 points. He remains tied with numerous players for the team playoff point lead with two in the series. Among them is defenseman Matthew Henderson, who was the Frontenacs\u2019 lone goal scorer in the last game. Additionally, Riley Clark, who sits tied as well for the team\u2019s +\/- lead with 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In net, both teams will likely roll with the same goalies from Game 3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fetterolf, who had been one of the league\u2019s premier netminders in the regular season, has had a bit of an adjustment to playoff hockey. After a rougher Game 1, he\u2019s come into his own, improving in save percentage and goals against average across each following game before dropping a .944 save percentage and only letting in one in Game 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other side, Matthew Minchak would be the projected starter. Minchak, much like Fetterolf, made the jump from U.S. high school hockey this season, although he played behind Gavin Betts in their tandem. After a game and a half, Minchak got the call from the Frontenacs to enter into his first OHL playoff action and has been strong since, posting a .943 across 90 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The other big story of this series was the 67’s ‘progressive clamping down on the Frontenacs. Ottawa went from allowing 31 shots against in Game 1 to just 17 in Game 3. With the series on the line, we\u2019ll see if the 67\u2019s rear guard can withstand one big push from Kingston tonight.<\/span><\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The 67\u2019s would break the ice mid-way through the first with Nic Sima finding the net courtesy of an own goal from Frontenacs\u2019 defenseman Andr\u00e9 Mondoux. It wouldn\u2019t be without theatrics, however, as the Frontenacs would challenge for goalie interference and ultimately get the goal called back. The 67\u2019s would pick up the man advantage off a hooking call from goaltender Matthew Minchak on Jasper Kuhta, but the 67\u2019s would not capitalize. However, Ottawa would get on the board not long afterwards, with Spencer Bowes beating Minchak one-on-one. The 67\u2019s finished the period with a 1-0 lead, outshooting Kingston 11-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second period was much more back and forth. Both teams would get their special teams tested, the 67\u2019s would go on the penalty kill twice, Kingston would go on it once, and both teams would go four-on-four as well. Nevertheless, neither squad would find the net. Ottawa would continue to outshoot Kingston, leading 13-8 in this frame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With only a one-goal lead heading into the third, the 67\u2019s put the pedal to the medal in the third with Jasper Kuhta and Sam McCue collecting goals. Cooper Foster assisted on all three of the team\u2019s goals from that point. Matthew Henderson would snap the shutout, Nic Sima would sink the empty netter for the win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ryder Fetterolf would have a lighter workload, but would still play exceptionally for the 67\u2019s, stopping 17 of 18 shots.<\/span><\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]OTTAWA, ON \u2013<\/b> After taking the first two games at home, the #3 Ottawa 67\u2019s depart west to clash with the #6 Kingston Frontenacs on Tuesday, March 31st at 7:05 p.m. for Game 3 of the 2026 OHL Playoffs presented by Nissan. Fans can tune in to the game at home via Flo Hockey, or listen to TSN 1200 for play-by-play from Kenny Walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a loose Game 1, the 67\u2019s tightened up defensively, limiting Kingston to just 25 shots in Game 2\u2014including a 15-minute shot drought between the first and second period.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe definitely expect there to be a lot of energy there,\u201d said goaltender Ryder Fetterolf on playing in Kingston. \u201cTwo-goal lead is the worst lead in hockey, two-game lead could be pretty bad if you don\u2019t treat it the right way going to that rink.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ryder Fetterolf, who led all OHL starters in save percentage in the regular season, had been entrusted with the starting role for Games 1 and 2, posting an .875 save percentage while looking comfortable as the games went on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just gonna keep playing how we (have been),\u201d said Fetterolf. \u201cWe\u2019re up two, we know what we are doing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 67\u2019s have had a strong record against Kingston, with a 6-2 record in their eight-game regular season series, and are currently up 2-0. However, Kingston was strong at home with 19 wins in their barn this season, including two against Ottawa.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis team is not going away,\u201d said Stoykewych. \u201cWe have to move forward with a quiet confidence; we are a 100-point team, we are up 2-0, we have taken care of business on the road before in Kingston, and now we have to stick with it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the players who have thrived in Ottawa so far has been deadline acquisition David Bedkowski. The Buffalo Sabres’ prospect defenseman has picked up two points while providing a presence to the team, both physically and in the locker room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bedkowski notably last played in the playoffs while with the Oshawa Generals, leading the team to the finals in 2023-24.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt continues to come back to me,\u201d said Bedkowski on his memories and lessons from that run.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are tons of little things that continue to come up, but the biggest thing is just being able to control your emotions,\u201d he said. \u201cDiscipline is a huge thing,\u201d said Bedkowski. \u201cWe can\u2019t be taking too many penalties.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Cooper Foster, who led the team in points in the regular season, has been off to a strong start in the playoffs, sitting at a point-per-game. He enters the game after being declared one of the four nominees for the Leo Lalonde Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the OHL’s Overage Player of the Year according to a vote of the league’s general managers.<\/p>\n

The one area the 67\u2019s have struggled with early on has been that factor, giving Kingston eight-man advantages over the first two games. The penalty kill has bailed the team out so far, only letting one in, but riding that line without stepping over it will be something that the team will look to work on over the next two games in Kingston.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last game saw the re-emergence of Alex McLean, the Frontenacs\u2019 regular-season points leader, as a threat, with a goal and an assist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, imports Tomas Pobezal and Alex Misiak have remained consistent players offensively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In net, the Frontenacs are likely to go with Matthew Minchak, who came in relief for Game 1 and 2 starter Gavin Betts on Friday. Minchak has yet to let in a goal in the series, stopping 17 of 17 in relief. However, the 19-year-old netminder has averaged a 3.75 goals against average and a .897 save percentage against Ottawa in the regular season.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for Ottawa, they could continue to ride with Fetterolf, or could give him a rest and opt for Jaeden Nelson, who has remained just as reliable in the regular season. Nelson has averaged 2.00 goals against and a .918 save percentage over three games against Kingston this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Capital connections:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Frontenacs roster boasts a few players from Eastern Ontario, including Kieren Dervin (Gloucester), Matthew Frost (Orleans),\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The team also features former Ottawa 67\u2019s forward Jack Dever.<\/span><\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The Ottawa 67\u2019s pick up the second game and win of the series against the Frontenacs, winning 4-3 in regulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think we played great,\u2019 said Fetterolf. \u201cWe expected them to come out harder, and we expected them to change some things.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe started really strong, kept it through,\u201d said Vandenberg, \u201cThere was a little push back from Kingston, which was totally expected, but way to stick with it at the end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Game 2 would start much like Game 1, with some fracas that would put Ottawa on the penalty kill twice early in the game; however, the Barber Poles would remain unscathed. Yet it would be Kingston who would get on the board first, from regular-season point leader Alex McLean. Despite the deficit and the two penalties, the 67\u2019s would lead Kingston in shots 7-4 after the first half of the period. The discipline issues would continue with an offensive-zone penalty off the draw. The penalty kill would continue to flourish, stripping Kingston of the puck in the offensive zone and shutting them down from entering Ottawa\u2019s zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the best time of the year,\u201d said David Bedkowski. \u201cThe games feel a little different; you feel the momentum shifts, and just the significance of every little play is magnified.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 67\u2019s would finally get to give Kingston a taste of their own medicine, with Nic Whitehead drawing a call on a breakaway. Thomas Vandenberg would rip the puck through the slot and past Frontenac\u2019s keeper Gavin Betts to tie the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the seal was broken, the 67\u2019s would continue to overpower Kingston offensively, with Jasper Kuhta giving Ottawa the 2-1 lead into intermission, outshooting Kingston 19-4.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been building all year,\u201d said assistant coach Paul Stoykewych of the penalty kill. \u201cWe\u2019ve given up the least amount of goals in the entire CHL; our defensive buy-in has been there pretty well since Day 1.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cComing into playoffs, everything is a little quicker, a little tighter; every 50 battle becomes that much more important.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 67\u2019s would continue to pressure the Frontenacs, holding Kingston to without a shot for a span of 15 minutes since their first goal. Ottawa would explode for back-to-back goals with markers from Ottawa-natives Shaan Kingwell and Thomas Vandenberg\u2019s second of the night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The power play was on fire, going two for two.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere haven\u2019t been too many new plays or new areas of the game that you have to learn, just total chemistry with the group,\u201d said Vandenberg. \u201cWe\u2019ve been playing with each other for a while, I think we are at a point where everyone is clicking with each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s totally huge, I think this is the best room I\u2019ve ever been a part of,\u201d said Vandenberg of the chemistry. \u201cYou want to come into the rink and go to war with these guys.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 67\u2019s penalty kill would remain spotless, too, with another test mid-way through the second, causing Kingston to bring out Matthew Minchak for Gavin Betts. Ottawa would finish the period leading the Frontenacs 31-12.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the playoffs now, it comes down to really three things: goaltending, five-on-five and special teams,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you play a physical, hard, aggressive style, there\u2019s gonna be times you take penalties.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe penalty kill is so blue collar,\u201d said Stoykewych. \u201cYou don\u2019t get the big goal, the celebrations; it\u2019s hard work, and it\u2019s paying off so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 67\u2019s would once again go on the penalty kill, but this time, the Frontenacs would score off of a tipped shot in front. Kingston would use the goal to try and swing momentum, getting a couple of rushes offensively; however, Ryder Fetterolf would make a spectacular split save before stuffing the rebound with his side. However, the Frontenacs would add another, courtesy of Alex Misiak, to cut the lead to one. Bedkowski would land a massive open-ice hit, trying to swing momentum back in Ottawa\u2019s favour as they tried to cling on to the lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s super important,\u201d said Bedkowski about his physical presence. \u201cThat is the playoffs; the physical aspect and wearing teams down over the course of the seven-game series.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Frontenacs would pull the goalie and try for one last push, but Ottawa would hold on for the 4-3 victory and 2-0 series lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

After an up-and-down first game, the 67\u2019s once again entrusted Fetterolf with the reins in net, proving invaluable in key moments in the 22-save victory\/<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, the games are a lot better; there\u2019s a lot more on the line,\u201d he said. \u201cJust sticking to my game, not treating it\u2019s a much bigger deal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re content with two wins,\u201d said Stoykewych. \u201cThis time of year, it\u2019s the end result that really matters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGotta give credit to our guys, we have very little OHL playoff experience,\u201d said Stoykewych. \u201cThey\u2019re diving all in\u2026 it\u2019s great seeing guys step up, some guys you expect to really step up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, there\u2019s a process and a way to do it, but at the end of the day, I am happy we walked away with two home wins.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]OTTAWA, ON \u2013<\/b> After taking the 1-0 series lead, the #3 Ottawa 67\u2019s will welcome back the #6 Kingston Frontenacs at home on Sunday, March 29th, 2026, at 3:00 p.m at The Arena at TD Place for Game 2 of the 2026 OHL Playoffs presented by Nissan. Fans can also tune in to the game at home via Flo Hockey, Rogers Channel 22, or listen to TSN 1200 for play-by-play from Kenny Walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

After some pushing and pulling, the 67\u2019s took Game 1 of the series on Friday courtesy of some strong performances from youngsters Kohyn Eshkawkogan and Spencer Bowes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bowes, who was the first star of the night with three points, credited the fans for giving the team the extra lift.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt helps a lot,\u201d said Bowes of the fan support during Game 1. \u201cWe had a pretty good record here this year, pretty great fans, and a great stadium pulse; when you score a goal, it hits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Eshkawkogan, who is coming off a monstrous four-point OHL playoff debut, is looking for the team to play their game more and not let the other team come to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re gonna initiate, we\u2019re not gonna let the game come at us,\u201d said Eshkawkogan. \u201cWe\u2019re gonna take the game to them.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like that\u2019s the only way we can deal with the physical.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Coach Dave Cameron expects the team and series to tighten up as the series goes on and players get more experience under the bright lights and pressure of the playoffs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t practice pressure; you have to live it, experience it, slice it and dice it,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cThe more reps you get, the more comfortable you get.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The player for the 67\u2019s to watch out for is Riley Clark, who was the only player to register multiple points for the Frontenacs in Game 1. It\u2019s also likely that Kingston rotates goaltenders for Game 2, instead playing Matthew Minchak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans showing up to the game in person will have access to the Fan First Menu, with various snacks ranging from $3 to $5 at select concession stands.<\/p>\n

Capital connections:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Frontenacs roster boasts a few players from Eastern Ontario, including Kieren Dervin (Gloucester), Matthew Frost (Orleans),\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The team also features former Ottawa 67\u2019s forward Jack Dever.<\/span><\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The Ottawa 67\u2019s begin their playoff run on a high note, clinching Game 1 with a 7-4 win over Kingston.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be honest with you, I thought the way that the game was gonna go,\u201d said head coach Dave Cameron. \u201cOur guys had some nerves, we have got a lot of guys with no playoff experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can talk about it all you want, draw it up, and video it, but until they live and experience it,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I thought it went like I thought, big win for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we played a pretty good game tonight,\u201d said Kohyn Eshkawkogan, who had a four assist night in his first OHL playoff game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of offence going,\u201d said Spencer Bowes. \u201cWe could pretty up our d-zone, odd-man rushes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Both teams would set the tone physically to start the game. Ottawa would take hold offensively, starting the game with four straight shots before Filip Ekberg would land the first goal of the series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t really been in a playoff game before,\u201d said Filip Ekberg. \u201cTo get that first goal so quick, it felt amazing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

An altercation in the corner would lead to both teams going four-on-four. Spencer Bowes would quickly add to the lead. The offsetting penalties would favour Kingston as the 67\u2019s were called for a major, but Ottawa would kill it off, courtesy of tight defensive work and clutch goaltending from Ryder Fetterolf.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe played great,\u201d said Bowes of his goaltender. \u201cWe gave him some hard chances, and could have helped him out a bit more\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 67\u2019s would continue to keep pressure on Kingston, but a defensive zone giveaway would lead to a one-on-one for Frontenacs rookie Nolan Snyder who would bury it for Kingston\u2019s first of the game and series. The Barber Poles would end the period on top with a 2-1 lead on the scoreboards and 14-9 in shots.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 67\u2019s would begin the second strong with Spencer Bowes setting up Filip Ekberg for his second of the night in the opening minutes of the period. However the Frontenacs would answer back with their own, off of a snipe from Tomas Pobezal. The 67\u2019s would get quite an opportunity with the Frontenacs landing two minor calls, giving Nic Sima the opportunity to bury one to re-take the two-goal lead. However, the Frontenacs would keep things tight with goals from Will Bishop and Riley Clark to tie it up at 4-4.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had games this year which were kinda the same thing,\u201d said Cameron of the second period collapse. \u201cLet\u2019s take a breath here, let\u2019s reset, let\u2019s got off our heels and on our toes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJust stick with it,\u201d was Cameron\u2019s words of advice.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody knew there was a lot of time left,\u201d said Ekberg of that moment. \u201cWe were just screaming at each other to keep going.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet, David Bedkowski would hammer a shot past Gavin Betts to re-take the lead going into the third.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first two periods, I was a little nervous,\u201d Eshkawkogan said. \u201cJust getting into that feel, that playoff atmosphere, I think that\u2019s something you gotta get used to; I think I did that in the third.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The third period would begin more structured, with both teams giving less into emotion and less open room. The 67\u2019s would get a break off of a high sticking call, putting them on the powerplay. Cooper Foster would waste no time, setting up in the slot and firing home a one-timer to give them the two-goal lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked on our special teams a lot, just cleaning that up a bit,\u201d said Eshkawkogan. \u201cWe just focused on ourselves; we know Kingston, we know what they are going to do, we played them eight times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dave Cameron specifically highlighted a positive of the week-long preparation: rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI gave them two days off,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cThere was really not a lot of prep, we played them eight times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCome playoff time, as a coach, you\u2019ve had them for sometimes three years, and certainly at least 68 games,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I gotta really coach \u2018em now, I am in trouble.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Frontenacs would pull the goalie to give them the man advantage, but Connor Bewick would work the puck off the Frontenacs defender and fire the puck down the ice for the empty net to secure the 7-4 win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bowes finished as the first star of the game with a goal and two assists on the night in his first playoff game.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of communication,\u201d Bowes said of the pillars of his success. \u201cIt\u2019s hard, the game is really quick, so when I get the puck in the corner, I rely on some talk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was the trust in my teammates, our line had a good night tonight,\u201d said Bowes. \u201cTrusting our defense to get the puck out and just doing my thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are big impact players over the course of the year,\u201d said Cameron of Spencer Bowes and Kohyn Eshkawkogan. \u201cThat\u2019s the great thing about junior players; I\u2019m lucky this year I got a team of a lot of guys with a lot of guys who rise to the occasion; there was nobody this year that was a passenger that didn\u2019t contribute to our success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The pushbrack from the Frontenacs wasn\u2019t surprising, it was expected by the group.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe came into the game knowing it was a hard game,\u201d said Bowes. \u201cIt\u2019s a bit of a rivalry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]OTTAWA, ON \u2013<\/b> The #3 Ottawa 67\u2019s kick off Round 1 of the 2026 OHL Playoffs presented by Nissan, taking on the #6 Kingston Frontenacs tonight, March 27th, 2026 at 7:00 p.m at The Arena at TD Place. Fans can also tune in to the game at home via Flo Hockey, Rogers Channel 22, or listen to TSN 1200 for play-by-play from Kenny Walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 67\u2019s are led by overager Cooper Foster, who finished the season as the fourth most productive overager in the OHL with 66 points through 66 games. Defenseman Kohyn Eshkawkogan finished third in the OHL in points amongst 2027 NHL draft eligibles with 53 points in his sophomore season. In net, either option is solid with both goalies combining to win the Dave Pinkney Trophy for allowing the fewest goals against.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for the Frontenacs, they are led by trade deadline addition Alex McLean, who finished with 45 points on the season. Kingston\u2019s roster also features three 2027 NHL draft prospects of note in Nolan Snyder, Matthew Henderson, and Aleks Kulemin. On the blueline, overage Maleek McGowan has been a revelation this year, putting up a career high of 36 points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These two teams have met eight times in the regular season, with the 67\u2019s taking six of the games and outscoring the Frontenacs 30-17. On paper, the Frontenacs should have an advantage on special teams; however, the Barber Poles have seen major improvements on both the penalty kill and power play as of late.<\/span><\/p>\n
