For a first year defenceman in the Ontario Hockey League, Matthew Henderson handled the challenges of his rookie season with poise and maturity beyond his years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kingston Frontenacs’ 2025 second first round selection quickly established himself as a reliable presence on the blue line, appearing in 63 regular season games and recording 18 points (2 goals, 16 assists). Henderson’s smooth skating ability, strong puck movement, and dependable defensive play allowed him to earn valuable minutes as the season went on as he continued to develop against some of the league’s top competition. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Hendo” was paired up with overage defenceman Will Bishop and the pair built chemistry and was solid on the ice, providing Henderson with invaluable experience from a Memorial Cup winning partner in Bishop.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the season progressed, Henderson’s confidence grew, and so did his role within the lineup. The Sarnia native showcased the two-way game that made him a first-round pick, contributing offensively while maintaining a steady presence in his own zone. Henderson also received time later in the season on the team’s second power play unit, showing the trust that Troy Mann and his coaching staff has in him. His development culminated in the playoffs, where he continued to play significant minutes and demonstrated the composure expected of a veteran player.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a full OHL season under his belt and valuable playoff experience gained, Henderson has laid a strong foundation for what looks to be a promising future in Kingston. As the Frontenacs continue to build around their young core, the talented blueliner is poised to be an important part of the team’s success for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

When the Kingston Frontenacs selected Aleks Kulemin ninth overall in the 2025 OHL Priority Selection, expectations were high for the talented forward. In his first season in black and gold, Kulemin showed exactly why he was one of the most highly touted prospects in his draft class, establishing himself as a key piece of the Frontenacs’ future.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Woodbridge, ON native made an immediate impact upon arriving in Kingston. Combining a strong 6-foot-2 frame with impressive hockey sense and skill, Kulemin steadily earned more responsibility throughout the season and became a reliable contributor in all situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the highlights of his rookie campaign came early in the season when he scored his first OHL goal and recorded a three-point performance against the Oshawa Generals, offering a glimpse of the offensive upside that made him a first round selection.<\/span><\/p>\n

By season’s end, Kulemin appeared in 57 regular-season games, recording 11 goals and 20 assists for 31 points while finishing with a plus-10 rating. He also added a goal in four playoff appearances, gaining valuable postseason experience as part of Kingston’s young core. Kulemin was also relied upon heavily alongside Robin Kuzma and Nolan Snyder, forming “The Kid Line” and gained the trust of Troy Mann and the rest of the coaching staff in the second half of the season nad into the playoffs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond the numbers, Kulemin’s maturity, two-way play, and ability to adapt to the OHL game stood out throughout the season. Whether contributing offensively, winning faceoffs, or using his size to create opportunities, he consistently demonstrated the tools that project him as a crucial piece of the organization’s future.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the Frontenacs continue to build toward the future, Kulemin’s rookie season provided plenty of reasons for optimism. With a year of OHL experience now under his belt, the young forward is poised to take another significant step forward and remain a cornerstone of Kingston’s next generation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Kingston, ON – <\/strong>The Kingston Frontenacs added three pieces to their prospect pool during the 2026 OHL U18 Priority Selection, selecting defencemen Presley Kelly-Wright and Cole Coughlin, along with goaltender Owen Bienstman.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trio brings a blend of upside, size, and positional depth as the Frontenacs continue building for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leading the class is right-shot defenseman Presley Kelly-Wright, a 5-foot-11 blueliner from Ottawa Myers Automotive U18 AAA. Kelly-Wright enjoyed a productive season from the back end, showcasing his ability to contribute offensively while playing significant minutes in all situations. His strong puck-moving ability and offensive instincts helped him emerge as one of the top-scoring defensemen on his club, recording 26 points in 21 games during league play.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I was very excited to see Kelly-Wright fall to us at the 10th overall pick,” <\/strong><\/em>said Frontenacs Director of Player Personnel Bob Breckles.<\/strong> “He’s a dynamic, two-way defenceman with elite, high-end skating and he defends well in his own end. We can’t wait to have him out at Development Camp to see how he fits in.” <\/strong><\/em>continued Breckles.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kingston’s second selection, Owen Bienstman, adds a promising young goaltender to the organization. The Tilbury, Ontario native stands 6-foot and catches left, providing the Frontenacs with another athletic option between the pipes. Bienstman spent the season with the Elgin Middlesex Canucks U18 AAA program and has shown the size and technical foundation that teams covet in developing netminders.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Owen is a goalie with great size and a winning pedigree in Elgin-Middlesex this season,” <\/strong><\/em>said Frontenacs General Manager Kory Cooper.<\/strong> “He has a great presence in the net nad never gives up on a play.” <\/strong><\/em>continued Cooper.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rounding out the class is defenseman Cole Coughlin of the North Shore Whitecaps U18 AAA. At 6-foot-2 and nearly 180 pounds, Coughlin brings a physical presence to the blue line. A left-shot defender from Belleville, Ontario, he combines his size with strong mobility and projects as a player capable of making an impact at both ends of the ice as he continues his development.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Cole is a big strong defender that has a lot of intagibles,” <\/strong><\/em>said Frontenacs Director of Player Personnel Bob Breckles.<\/strong> “He has a lot of character and physicality that we could certainly use on the backend.” <\/strong><\/em>continued Breckles.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While each player arrives with a unique skill set, the common theme throughout Kingston’s 2026 U18 Priority Selection class is versatility. Adding two defensemen with different styles and a goaltender with considerable upside provides the organization with valuable depth and long-term development pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

As these players continue their progression, the Frontenacs will be eager to see how this year’s U18 draft class develops into future contributors for the black and gold. <\/span>Stay tuned to Kingston Frontenacs social media channels for updates on development camp and training camp as they become available.

It\u2019s now less than a week until the Ontario Hockey League ascends upon Kingston for the first in-person OHL Priority Selection since the year 2000. Let\u2019s turn our attention to the junior career of the fifth exceptional player in OHL history and the Kingston Frontenacs’ last first overall selection, Shane Wright.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a no-doubter. After scoring 66 goals and 150 points in 72 games, all while playing with guys a year older than he was, Shane Wright was granted exceptional status for the 2019 OHL Priority Selection. Adding to his accolades before even being selected, Wright would score 18 points in 7 OHL Cup games, earning the tournament MVP in the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming off the 2017-18 campaign that saw the Frontenacs in the third round of the playoffs, 2018-19 was a down year for Kingston with key players like Jason Robertson, Gabriel Vilardi, and Jeremy Helvig all moving on. The struggling Frontenacs won just 14 games, earning them the first overall selection. Which, of course, was Shane Wright.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wright immediately made an impact for the Frontenacs. Leading the team in scoring at just 15 years old, Wright scored 39 times and adding 27 assists in 58 games. Wright\u2019s rookie season was highly decorated, winning the OHL and CHL Rookie of the Year awards. Unfortunately, the world had other plans for a Frontenacs team on the rise. The COVID-19 pandemic hit North America in March of 2020, cancelling the rest of the 2019-20 season and all of the 2020-21 season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When hockey returned for the 2021-22 season, Wright was a 17-year-old entering his draft year. Now the captain of the Frontenacs, the fifth exceptional status player in OHL history, earned that title. In 63 games, Wright scored 94 points and added another 14 in 11 playoff games. The Frontenacs fell to the North Bay Battalion in the second round that year, and Wright turned his attention to the NHL Draft after receiving the CHL Top Draft Prospect award.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After being selected fourth overall by the Seattle Kraken in 2022, Wright spent the first half of the season between the NHL club and their AHL affiliate, the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Wright would be loaned to the Canadian World Junior team and would captain a loaded squad to a Gold Medal in Halifax. After recording seven points in seven games, Wright would be reassigned to the OHL, where he was flipped to the Windsor Spitfires for a haul of picks and players that would help the Frontenacs set up their future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After finishing his junior career in Windsor, Wright turned pro full-time, spending the majority of his time in the AHL as a 20-year-old. Since then, the former Frontenacs centreman has been full-time with a young Kraken team and looks to be a key piece for the organization moving forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kingston, ON \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>General Manager Kory Cooper has made another deal with the Brantford Bulldogs ahead of the trade window closing on Thursday, June 11th; this time acquiring Ryan Chamberlain and draft picks in exchange for Camden McCuaig.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kingston receives:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

F – Ryan Chamberlain (’08)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2027 3rd Round Pick (NB)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2027 6th Round Pick (BFD)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brantford receives:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

F – Camden McCuaig (’08)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2026 6th Round Pick (SAG)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Originally drafted by the Sarnia Sting in the 5th round, 101st overall of the 2024 OHL Priority Selection, Chamberlain had 19 points (6 goals, 13 assists) in 27 regular season games for the Brantford Titans (GOJHL) this season. Chamberlain also appeared in 17 games for the Bulldogs, collecting a pair of assists on a deep Brantford squad. The 6’2”, 181lbs forward adds good depth to the Frontenacs roster ahead of the 2026-27 season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Ryan is a very strong skater with good instincts on both sides of the puck.”<\/em>\u00a0said Frontenacs General Manager Kory Cooper. “He has good size and can play down the middle or on the wing, adding flexibility for our forward group. We’re excited to see how he fits in our lineup.<\/em>“<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

McCuaig was drafted by the Frontenacs in the 5th round, 87th overall in the 2024 OHL Priority Selection and made his OHL debut on November 8th, 2024 on home ice against the Oshawa Generals. The Williamstown, ON native would score his first OHL goal on December 28th, 2025 against the Ottawa 67’s and would go on to put up 6 points (3 goals, 3 assists) in 17 regular season appearances for the black and gold. McCuaig would spend most of the year with the Cornwall Colts (CCHL), putting up 42 points (18 goals, 24 assists) in 40 games.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“McCuaig has been a hard-working player since he arrived in Kingston. Camden was seeking a new opportunity for an expanded role and we are glad we were able to provide him with that. We’d like to thank Camden for his dedication during his time here and we wish him the best of luck in this new opportunity.”<\/em> continued Cooper. “Adding the additional third round pick for next season gives us more draft capital and balances out our draft board as we had more picks than we would have liked for the draft this week.”

When the Kingston Frontenacs selected Nolan Snyder in the eighth round of the 2025 OHL Priority Selection, few could have predicted the immediate impact he would make in his first season.<\/span><\/p>\n
