Over 115 games played in a Kingston uniform, the rugged, no-nonsense player totalled 112 points and added 361 regular-season penalty minutes as one of the more feared players in junior hockey. A 15-year pro-hockey career followed, leaving a \u201cmark\u201d on opponents all over North American rinks in the IHL, AHL, and UHL, including a stop in the NHL and a memorable scrap at Maple Leaf Gardens.<\/p>\n<p>Originally selected into the OHL by the North Bay Centennials, a promising rookie OHL season in 1987-88 saw Major appear in 57 games and net 33 points. He remembers not knowing what to expect as he started his junior hockey career, but he felt fortunate to have it conclude in Kingston as a Frontenac. \u201cIt was life-changing. Starting from the midget draft, going to North Bay, moving away from home for the first time, and moving in with a great billet. She took on three of us. I was the bigger of the three but had the smallest of the rooms,\u201d the 6-foot-3, 225-pounder says. The Pittsburgh Penguins drafted Major in 1988 before a trade to the Limestone City nine games into the 1988-89 OHL season. Mark made his Kingston debut in the black and silver Raiders\u2019 uniform. The forward improved his offence with 51 points in 53 games with Kingston and he didn\u2019t sacrifice any of the rugged playing style that he became known for in North Bay.<\/p>\n<p>The first season as the newly branded Frontenacs saw Mark take on a larger role in one of the best seasons in franchise history, wearing an \u201cA\u201d on his sweater for the highly successful 1989-90 season. The 1989-90 season included the longest game in CHL history in Belleville, which began at 7:30 pm and ended the next day at 1:50 am. \u201cWe were drained, and at that point in time, it was more who\u2019d get the last bounce or take advantage of a costly turnover. And that\u2019s what happened,\u201d unfortunately the bounce went against Kingston. The marathon game featured a lot of posts and breakaways by both teams before Belleville\u2019s Ken Rowbotham eventually ended the contest. \u201cThat was probably the best team I played on, along with the Flint Generals.\u201d Major was a member of the Flint squad that won the IHL\u2019s 2000 Colonial Cup Championship.<br \/>\nMark spent two seasons with the IHL\u2019s Muskegon Lumberjacks after entering the professional hockey ranks following his OHL career. In his rookie season in 1990-91, an old connection with a fellow Kingston junior had former Canadians great Chris Clifford recall an incident involving Major: \u201cMark settled here in Kingston, and I still know him. But I played with him in the minors for a season as well. I had known of him before we were teammates, and his reputation was confirmed while playing with him.\u201d The two skated together in the IHL for the Muskegon Lumberjacks in 1990-91. \u201cI got run over in Muskegon by a guy named Link Gaetz. I don\u2019t remember him being the most skilled, but I recall him being very tough and big. I didn\u2019t see it coming, but I was hit from my right and lost a glove and helmet while Gaetz started skating back up the ice. By the time I picked myself up, I see Mark catch him at the far blueline! It was a tremendous bout, and he was the clear victor. I remember thinking I have never seen anything like that. I\u2019d seen lots of fights, but he was sticking up, literally for me?!\u201d The Kingston connection was alive and well at a rink in the state of Michigan that game. \u201cAbsolutely, I remember that one,\u201d says Major. \u201cI know Link well; he controlled a lot of local rinks I knew. Chris had a little growing to do, and Link was a huge man. Mind you, I used to bump into a goalie every now and then too, but you had to stick up for teammates.\u201d And in this case, a former Kingston brother. \u201cBut that was my role, and I enjoyed it. I was out there, and he rang the bell, which was part of the game, and you had to send messages. You took care of business even if it was an accidental hit.\u201d Though Major couldn\u2019t help but recognize he may have had a little more zip in this instance, considering the Limestone City connection.<\/p>\n<p>During the 1997-98 AHL season with the Portland Pirates, Major totalled a team-record 355 penalty minutes and added 52 in only ten games played in the postseason for a whopping 407 minutes in the box. Fans of Roller Hockey got a taste of his rugged playing style when he suited up for six seasons, capturing a league championship with the Buffalo Stampede in 1994. In mirroring his ice hockey fashion, Major put up big numbers in the penalty box with 527 minutes in 113 games while keeping opposition goalies on their toes with 99 career goals.<\/p>\n<p>Averaging close to a point-per-game in Kingston, some think he could have put up even more significant numbers if he abandoned his playing style. \u201cYou can always look back and say maybe. But I found a knack that I was good at. Leaving minor hockey with the Don Mills Flyers, I had a teammate named Troy Crowder in North Bay. He taught me the right way to fight; it was just one of those things I enjoy doing, and nobody else seemed to want to do it. You had more lumber across your back in a minute than we see in a whole game today. Just policing the ice with for your high-end skilled guys. I did my job efficiently and effectively, but I think I had a lot of room to put myself in positions to succeed because of my role. But not all of them went off my stick, many off my body. Who\u2019s to say if I stayed away from that part of the game, would I have had the career I did? I don\u2019t know, but I would do it the same way all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked of his greatest nemesis, the respectful Major acknowledges former Peterborough Pete and NHL legend Tie Domi. The two battled numerous times as OHL opponents and eventually dropped the gloves at Maple Leaf Gardens on November 2, 1996, while Major skated for the Detroit Red Wings playing against the Maple Leafs. \u201cOf course, Tie comes into the mix.\u201d He had dressed for his first NHL match the previous game versus Ottawa but then found himself waiting a little longer to make an impression. Like all players, he still vividly recalls the day he knew he would put on an NHL jersey. \u201cIt was Halloween, and I was getting ready with my daughter when I got the call.\u201d After travelling to meet the team, NHL great Brendan Shanahan told him he was in during warmups as the veteran was nursing an injury. \u201cMy first game, I never saw a shift. I was called four times, but every time, there was a penalty before I got on the ice. But happily soaking in the experience, he says, \u201cI had the best seat in the house for my first NHL game.\u201d<br \/>\nMany influences on his playing style come from players he respected and played with and against.\u201d(NHLer) Shawn Antoski and I were in North Bay, and he taught me some things about scrapping.\u201d Other names like Crowder, as mentioned earlier, and ex-Kingston Canadian Marc Laforge earned the respect of one of the city\u2019s roughest players to wear the uniform. Teammate Jamie Allen led the 1989-90 Frontenacs in penalty minutes with 188, and Major certainly respected his style.\u201d Many don\u2019t realize that we are good friends in many of these fights we have with opponents. People say how can you do that to each other? It was always just a job for me, and it is what we all do; leave everything at the rink to go home and take care of our families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The now full-time Kingston resident looks back with great memories of when he arrived in the city. \u201cOf all the places around the map I\u2019ve been in, it was the place I decided to settle. I met my wife Nicole in Kingston and have always loved the small towns where people remember you. She grew up here and wanted to come home, so we ended up moving back here after my pro years were done. It\u2019s incredible being around town and how many still talk about the old Raiders hockey days. Having such a core fan base of an organization for over 50 years, you\u2019re not forgotten and being a part of a franchise with that history to this day that still gives all of us ex-players its time is terrific.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Major enters the 2022-23 hockey season as busy as he used to be as a player. As a head coach, he is now preparing for the trials and tribulations and helping develop young players behind the bench for the U-16 Greater Kingston squad. \u201cI think it was the next progression for me,\u201d said the former coach of the local Amherstview Jets. \u201cTo turn around and give back to kids in our wonderful sport is awesome. I had a lot of interesting coaches in my career and took their systems and mindset to make my own spin. My assistants and I think the same way in philosophies, and that\u2019s the best part of coaching. Find people who can gel and help improve players on and off the ice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A couple of coaches he certainly draws back to and deeply respects as influences include Bert Templeton and his coach in Kingston, Larry Mavety. \u201cMav and Bert were the same moulds. You played hard for them; if you didn\u2019t, they let you know. Many times, Mav sent messages to older guys. One game in Oshawa, we played a guy named Eric Lindros, and we were battling on the boards; I let him go, and he went down and scored. After the period, he told me to go home, just like that. It was a teaching moment for everyone. It didn\u2019t matter who you were or if you wore a letter or not. It\u2019s a great team lesson to learn at a young age. I never let my check go again and ended up having a decent pro-playing career. He taught me so much over the two years we were together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He and his wife are proud to have daughter Hayden now a marketing director at the Leon\u2019s Centre, as the second Major in the family to spend lots of time at the local rink. \u201cShe grew up in a rink and now works at one.\u201d Son Jarred is an avid sports and hockey nut. \u201cHe plays sledge hockey and is a massive fan of the game. If it is on TV, he\u2019s watching it and always enjoys going to Frontenacs games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it\u2019s all over, you leave a particular town for 15 years only to come back with people still recognizing you? It\u2019s a great feeling to have made a mark in some people\u2019s minds, and you want to continue those interactions. It\u2019s been a fantastic ride from playing with Kingston to coming back and enjoying the city with my family. The kids need the support of a good fan base, and I hope the tremendous fanbase in Kingston keeps coming out in even larger numbers. \u201c[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Mark Major A member of both the Raiders and Frontenacs, Mark Major left a lasting legacy on the ice and a few bruises on the opposition during two seasons in Kingston.

With a franchise-best, 420 points in a Frontenacs uniform, Keli Corpse recorded the sixth most points of any player in OHL history before being drafted by the Montreal Canadiens and playing eight years professionally.<\/p>\n<p>Selected from the Junior \u201cB\u201d London Diamonds, Corpse immediately made an impact registering 51 points in just 58 games during his 1990-91 rookie campaign in Kingston. Moving away from home is always a challenge for young hockey players, and while Corpse looks back at his time with great fondness, there was some apprehension in the beginning. Not knowing what to expect, the budding star was nervous about leaving his hometown but quickly realized he was in an extraordinary situation. \u201cI couldn\u2019t have been luckier. Looking back, it became a second home for me fast. If you come to Kingston, you are fortunate. I may be biased, but there isn\u2019t a better city to play junior hockey. You think of the quality arena, quality people, the waterfront, the town, and the great people who work at the rink. The one thing I would say if you are coming here, give your all. Kingston appreciates the players who come in and work hard at their job. And don\u2019t be afraid to give back to your city because they\u2019ll open up and accept you.\u201d<br \/>\nJim Gilchrist describes a 5-foot-11, 180-pound Corpse as another smaller-statured local hockey star. \u201cVery much like Kirk Muller, \u201csaid the legendary Kingston broadcaster. \u201cA great scorer who got critical goals at key times. Pucks just seem to follow him. He was always there in the right place and time to get essential points. He quietly picked up many of his points, especially when you imagine all the great players coming through Kingston, but he consistently put up big numbers every year. A former team captain who was a great leader on and off the ice always says hi to his old billets and people he remembers in the city.\u201d Though dropping the gloves wasn\u2019t a top skill in his arsenal, he was tough and wasn\u2019t afraid to get pucks. \u201cHe would always get in those dirty areas to get the big goals,\u201d added Gilchrist, \u201che showed by example for the rookies and helped guide younger players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many memorable moments come in a junior career as successful as an all-time points leader. \u201cMy first OHL goal and my first game at the Kingston Memorial Centre against Sudbury I remember like it was yesterday.\u201d Some of his best memories are of the Frontenacs fans and their dedication. \u201cThere was actually a moment we played in Oshawa the first year we made the playoffs when I was there. We had a bunch of Kingston fans all in the one corner and I remember scoring a goal and seeing all the black and gold as you skated into the corner. Celebrating the goal with teammates while surrounded by Frontenacs fans in a road building was awesome.\u201d It isn\u2019t surprising that Corpse appreciated the connection with fans, given his propensity to be a proud community member. \u201cIt may not be a huge thing, but to me, it was one of the best feeling moments. After a couple of down years win-wise, seeing the fans\u2019 excitement was certainly memorable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After an 83-point sophomore season in 1991-92, the offensively gifted forward registered the first of consecutive 100-point seasons in 1992-93, joining Ken Linesman as the only pair in franchise history recording multiple seasons of at least 100 points. Following that season, Corpse was awarded Kingston\u2019s first Dan Snyder Trophy for the OHL\u2019s Humanitarian of the Year. The CHL also recognized his efforts in deeming him CHL Humanitarian of the Year. \u201cIt was one of the bigger things I accomplished. People don\u2019t know how much junior hockey players do in the community. I was recognized for it, but I know the teams I played on, we always had guys willing. I loved doing that stuff. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to play junior hockey. Many people don\u2019t have the opportunity as we do, and I always thought growing up that if I could give back, I would do that. Here in Kingston, we had lots of opportunities to give back. As much as they may enjoy us coming, I always enjoyed doing it more.\u201d Peter Stevens captured the franchise\u2019s second award for humanitarian work in 2007-08. \u201cWe still help out in our local communities today. I have a younger boy with autism, so I understand what it means to give back and what it can mean to others. I was super happy to win that award, which is probably the best I\u2019ve ever received. My mom and dad brought me up a certain way, and I just try continuing that through and make sure the Corpse name could always shed some good light.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 1993-94 season saw an offensive season finish as the 10th all-time best in franchise history, putting up 126 points. Initially a \u201cFrontenacs\u201d record, it was beaten by teammate David Ling (135) in 1994-95 and remained the second-best offensive outburst since the change from the Raiders and Canadians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, anytime you have a scoring record, you want to keep it, but, at the same token, you want someone to challenge it or try to beat it. That\u2019s what makes the game so great,\u201d said Corpse on his 420-point career total. He also holds the club record with 285 career assists. \u201cI follow the Frontenacs and love following which kids are doing well, but at no time do I think about it not being broken. There was a kid that came through that I coached at hockey school when he was younger, Mike Oliviera, I thought he could have a chance to break it with his skill. I really liked his game.\u201d Corpse also understands his duration is key. \u201cObviously, when Shane Wright was drafted, a few buddies said the record was going down, but I knew it would be tough for him. I wasn\u2019t too worried because, one, I knew he would move onto the NHL in a couple of years, and two, I don\u2019t find that scoring is like it was when I played. He\u2019s got a great career ahead of him. Not many guys are getting 100 points in an OHL season anymore. So, I knew he would have a tough time, especially with his duration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An eight-year professional career began in 1995-96 with a John A. Daley Memorial Trophy for Rookie of the Year in the ECHL with the Wheeling Thunderbirds (63GP, 32G, 62A), scoring 94 points while also suiting up with Montreal\u2019s AHL farm team in Fredericton, NB. Playing in North America until 1997, Corpse spent the following two seasons in Europe. \u201cThat was a great experience. If I had the opportunity to return, I would have, but after meeting my wife, I decided to stay in North America. Italy was a blast, but in Germany, it was indescribable. The fans stand the whole game like a soccer atmosphere cheering and chanting, totally invested in their team. \u201cFor the most part, in North America, it\u2019s common to see fans of out-of-town teams, but Corpse says it\u2019s a pure investment when putting on their jersey. \u201cNone of that. If you are from that town, that\u2019s who they cheer for and support and, in turn, expect the same passion from you, and you\u2019ll hear about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Corpse returned to North American hockey for the 1998-99 season with stints in the ECHL, UHL, and CHL. After playing with four teams in 2001-02, he decided to retire and focus more on family and their needs. \u201cIt was the beginning of the end,\u201d he recalled. \u201cWhen you get into the minor-hockey leagues, if you make money and your team is doing well, they trade you. So, a couple of times, I felt I was moved because of it. Finally, in my last stop in Adirondack, I looked at my wife, who was pregnant with our second child, and said I didn\u2019t want to miss out on my kids\u2019 lives anymore. In those lower leagues, you are off for two weeks at a time, and I wasn\u2019t willing to do that anymore and miss my kids growing up at their age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Corpse enjoys keeping track of the latest Frontenacs stars and is always impressed. \u201cI came to Mav\u2019s memorial and caught some action. Ludwinski has some skill, for sure. And Edmonds. I really liked the way he plays. Very cerebral out there. I was surprised they didn\u2019t go further than they did in the playoffs last season, but that\u2019s sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Son Colt followed in his father\u2019s footsteps by being selected by Kingston in 2016. \u201cHe was lucky enough to be taken by the Frontenacs. But, about a year before the draft, he blew his ACL and fell a bit in the draft. Still, it was awesome for him to get picked by Kingston. He was pretty excited to go there. He is playing NCAA in Maryville now, and he\u2019ll be heading back for his second year this season. He made the All-American honours list with a 95 average in school, so I\u2019m super proud. Our family is also excited about our business venture, \u201cDeadman Hockey,\u201d playing off the Corpse name. To date, we have done about 15-20 hockey camps and started to get into the clothing market. Hockey is a big part of our life, so we are thrilled to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Frontenacs all-time leading point-getter lives back near his hometown in Western Ontario with his wife Cynthia and sons Colt and Tye. True to character, the former hockey star gives back to the community as a law enforcement officer as a profession. He spends personal time helping guide young hockey players as a coach and volunteering in his community.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Keli Corpse Kingston\u2019s 14th pick at the 1990 OHL Priority Selection became one of the city\u2019s best players, setting team records during his five-year junior career while leaving a lasting legacy on the importance of giving back to his community.

Jim \u201cCookie\u201d Gilchrist has provided radio calls of the local franchise since 1980, with broadcast calls as colourful as the red, white, and blue uniforms of the Kingston Canadians teams he began covering and continued with the Raiders and Frontenacs until 1993-94. The multi-talented professional then provided news coverage for seven years before returning to the radio booth for the 2001-02 OHL season, where he has been livening up Black and Gold hockey airwaves ever since. Over the course of his remarkable career, Gilchrist has now called over 3000 OHL games.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"1632\">Legendary Kingston coach and manager Larry Mavety left many impressions during his tenure in OHL hockey, and the nickname for Kingston\u2019s long-time radio broadcaster is one standing the test of time. \u201cI was doing radio for Ontario fastball games, and we played Belleville,\u201d Jim recalled. \u201cMav was the catcher for the Belleville team, and after a game, I was introduced to him by my last name, and he mockingly asked if I had any relation to \u201cCookie\u201d Gilchrist, the Buffalo Bills football star, and I joked it was my brother. A couple of years later, when he was coach\/GM of Belleville, I saw him again before a game when I was doing radio for Kingston, and he remembered by calling me Cookie. That\u2019s where it all started.\u201d If you have seen Jim around the arena, you will not mistake him for a former NFL star, but his character is equally significant.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"2224\">Born in Oshawa but raised in Whitby until a teenager, he moved back to Oshawa and was married before relocating further east down Highway 401 to Kingston. \u201cIn my last couple of years in high school, I worked part-time in the radio station in Oshawa. So, since 1969, I have been on the air doing hockey games. Rick Middleton\u2019s (Former Boston Bruin Legend) last year of junior hockey was my first year with Oshawa (1972-73), and I saw plenty of great players come out of those Generals teams.\u201d This experience helped launch a broadcasting career that has now spanned more than 3000 OHL games.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2226\" data-end=\"2985\">The wise hockey mind continued cutting his teeth with the Oshawa Generals until the 1979-80 season when an offer to come to Kingston came along, in what turned out to be the literal move of a lifetime. Arriving in The Limestone City that fall, his wife was pregnant with their first child. \u201cShe knew absolutely nobody,\u201d recalls a proudly speaking Gilchrist. \u201cSo, there she was, left at home while I was out on the road gallivanting around the province. It was a big change for both of us with her from Oshawa.\u201d Now happily married for 43 years to Jan, a retired PSW from Trillium Retirement Centre, the pair celebrated the anniversary on Sept 8, 2022. \u201cKingston has been our home for sure. Our three daughters, Tanya, Sheena, and Kaitlin, were all born here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2987\" data-end=\"3430\">A hockey fan from a young age, Gilchrist has generations of information to draw from when calling games. \u201cI had been a diehard Toronto Maple Leafs fan growing up. Dicky Duff was my favourite player, and I was thrilled to meet him later on when I took a broadcasting course early in my career. He was one of my first interviews, and I was in a bit of awe. But it left a lasting memory for me, although he played for rival Montreal at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3432\" data-end=\"3868\">Quick to recall subtle moments over his extraordinary career, the broadcaster has a remarkable ability to draw back on the history of the franchise. \u201cI recall watching Kirk Muller as we were sitting in the end stands at the Ottawa Civic Centre, the biggest OHL arena at the time. He was awestruck by the size of the building, and I thought, boy, you are going to see a lot larger arenas than this in your career kid,\u201d laughed Gilchrist.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3870\" data-end=\"4647\">The voice of Kingston hockey before Gilchrist was another local sports media legend, Max Jackson, who was instrumental in helping Jim\u2019s career take off. \u201cHe got me my job. I was at an awards ceremony at North York Centennial Arena, and after dinner, I met Max, and he asked to speak with me,\u201d remembered Gilchrist. \u201cAfter revealing he was taking time away from broadcasting to care for his wife and thought I would be able to take over for him. Jackson also mentioned retiring as sports director of the radio station soon. He asked for a tape, so I sent it down to management in Kingston and took the big step. I felt good after my interview and was offered the position the next day.\u201d For decades, the Kingston hockey community has benefitted from Jackson\u2019s confidence in Jim.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4649\" data-end=\"5417\">Kingston has had some talented players come through, and Gilchrist can recognize each of them at a moment\u2019s notice with statistics and memorable moments stored in his memory bank. Speaking on the franchise\u2019s only ever CHL Most Valuable Player winner, David Ling, he is viewed as one of the best play-it-any-way-you-want players in team history. \u201cA captain his last year and was a great leader. OHL scoring champion and a tough player that guys respected not only in the Kingston room but around the league. He could walk the walk and talk the talk. Not many wanted to mess with him as one of the toughest guys in the league, even though he wasn\u2019t that big. He remembers where he started in his career and says hi to his old billets and friends when he\u2019s back in town.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5419\" data-end=\"6260\">Former Frontenacs captain Keli Corpse greatly respects the way Jim handles himself and fondly recalls forming a relationship with the legend. \u201cCookie is a great guy. You leave home at an early age, and you come in green and meet lots of new people and what I remembered with him early on was his positivity,\u201d described Kingston\u2019s all-time points leader. \u201cEven with our struggles as a team, it wasn\u2019t very often on the radio he would put us down. He always found some good things to talk about in the games. When talking away from the ice as a young kid, the kind of thing you need is a guy who has been around the game and understands the bigger picture items. He would tell us to keep our head up, move on, things will get better, stuff like that. He was just a quality guy, and I really enjoyed knowing him and having him cover our games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6262\" data-end=\"7777\">\u201cWhen I think of Cookie, it\u2019s like he is a continuous strand weaving his way across multiple teams and generations,\u201d Kingston goaltending great Chris Clifford says with admiration. \u201cHe was always there to listen and was positive even when things were not going great, particularly during my time in our four years. We had some tough, slim times for my first couple of seasons. It would have been easy to bail out on us. I don\u2019t know what the perception is from the seats where you\u2019re watching; at junior age, when you are playing, many kids aren\u2019t even shaving yet inside that dressing room. They\u2019re just teenagers. Many are away from home, if not most, for the first time. They are living in a new town, and you can be vulnerable and maybe made easy targets. But with Cookie, there was always a positive spin to it, and you quickly realize that as a kid. He always had a smile and having him there kind of kept it from feeling like the sky was falling. That is the most important thing I remember about Jimmy. He has a half grin whenever you talk about anything, like he already knows what you\u2019re about to say. Through all his experience, he has all of the team\u2019s rich history in his head. So, he is a real part of the franchise in that regard.\u201d The pair still meet up to talk some Canadians hockey when they can. \u201cWe have busy lives,\u201d said Clifford, \u201cbut I will slide up to the booth now and again. We\u2019ll meet for a beer at the Red House in between games or maybe even before a game. It\u2019s always time well spent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7779\" data-end=\"8252\">Former Raider and Frontenac great Mark Major sees the impact on the organization: \u201cIf there is ever a voice of a franchise in the hockey world, Jimmy would be it. I can\u2019t describe how dedicated he is and keeping people informed about the game. You turn on the radio, and you think you\u2019re there watching. He brings the franchise into your living room. Talking to him today, I still find him remarkable and could listen to him for hours. My wife especially enjoys listening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8254\" data-end=\"8772\">Closing on 3000 games called in a career has left lasting memories for Gilchrist, with many personal favourite moments, but he cherishes the more special ones. The last game on Feb 15, 2008, at the Memorial Centre, was a call he remembers well, especially with a 6-4 Fronts win and, of course, the first game at the new \u201cK-Rock Centre,\u201d a week later, on Feb 22, 2008. He\u2019s also called a scoreless game during the 1993-94 season versus the Ottawa 67\u2019s and is just one of four games ending without a goal in OHL history.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8774\" data-end=\"9217\">\u201cIt was always special calling the game for the radio veteran when the Belleville Bulls were the opponent,\u201d Gilchrist expresses. The classic rivalry of the franchise certainly had its moments, and the broadcaster\u2019s enthusiastic voice called many. \u201cThe last ever game in Belleville and our last home game against the Bulls are two that stick out as games I think fondly of.\u201d Major agrees, \u201cI don\u2019t think the rivalry can be matched, ever again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"9219\" data-end=\"10406\">One of the more unique experiences came during the 2021-22 season, calling games in an empty arena. A 6-5 loss to Peterborough on Jan 7, 2022, was the first time behind the microphone while trying hard not to hear himself. Unfortunately, unable to be at games, Fronts fans were lucky to have the long-time voice continuing to bring all the action to their ears with the same excitement and enthusiasm you\u2019d hear in a sold-out building with a commitment and professionalism only he exudes. But that is what you first notice if you\u2019re lucky enough to see him in action. The time spent preparing for each game is easily seen as a desire to be an artist at his craft. \u201cI\u2019m at the rink a half day on gameday, usually around 3 p.m. for a 7 p.m. game to get in and set up the equipment early to have everything ready.\u201d The broadcaster will research stats and the opposition just as seriously as his team and enjoys developing personal \u201cgameplans\u201d for each game, including pre-game meets with representatives from both teams. \u201cI\u2019ll talk with the coach about pre-game stuff, any changes coming up, and the lineup that night. I also talk with the opponents\u2019 coach to get the latest on their side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"10408\" data-end=\"11127\">During the 2021-22 season, the broadcaster took on a unique challenge, though it was one he didn\u2019t even know he was dealing with until it was over. In the second period of Game 4 against the Oshawa Generals, Gilchrist did play-by-play for almost 13 consecutive minutes (from 2:54 -15:45) in an incredible run without a whistle between the teams. \u201cThat was the longest I recall. You just noticed it after a while, maybe after five or six minutes, you start to realize you\u2019re in something. It was back-and-forth action as well, so you\u2019re using more voice too, so as the time passes, you\u2019re not gassed for air, but you may have started to think about throwing something on the ice to stop play,\u201d he describes with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"11129\" data-end=\"12046\">Most ask him what the most challenging part of the job is. \u201cBe prepared,\u201d he says quickly. \u201cSome think you just sit down and call a game. I have a file on each team and keep it updated as the season progresses to draw back on.\u201d One of the more fascinating things about Gilchrist is the superb ability to draw back on his brand of record keeping, which has proven invaluable for a franchise as old as Kingston with a half-century of history. Gilchrist quickly points out his love for the team and fans of the franchise as part of his desire to continue with the team. \u201cThe fun part is working with all the people around here. The players, the coaching staff, equipment guys, and trainers are fantastic. All the administration staff and ownership, especially Doug Springer, have been great with me, and I call him a friend now. That\u2019s the part I enjoy the most. The camaraderie with everybody associated with the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12048\" data-end=\"12586\">Over the past few seasons, the \u201cradio\u201d man has progressed into other media, including podcasts, and getting in front of the camera to talk Frontenacs hockey. \u201cI had been hesitant with that; being told I have a great face for radio. But, as long as I don\u2019t get too many complaints about that and they still want me, I am having fun with it.\u201d Frontenacs Manager of Media Relations Jordan Jackson shares time with the legendary voice for an always well-informed pre-game setup on the jumbotron at the arena. \u201cI enjoy doing that with Jordan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"12588\" data-end=\"13163\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\u201cI don\u2019t think I will be around for the next 50 years, but I will be as long as possible. Looking for a championship would be the icing on the cake. We had an excellent opportunity this past season, that was unfortunate we didn\u2019t get past the second round, but it was a great run that ended too soon.\u201d A monumental anniversary is part of Kingston\u2019s hockey voice\u2019s legacy: \u201cHaving surpassed 3000 OHL games, it is an honour to be part of this franchise\u2019s history and the Kingston Sports Hall of Fame would be a dream,\u201d proudly says Cookie, with the same familiar sheepish grin.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Jim Gilchrist If you\u2019ve listened to a Kingston hockey game on the radio over the last 40 years, you\u2019ve likely had the pleasure of hearing a game called by one of the most celebrated junior hockey broadcasters the game has heard.
