From player features and alumni coverage to day-to-day team content, Kingston set a high standard for engagement, growth and consistency, helping strengthen the connection between the organization and its fanbase while establishing itself as one of the league\u2019s premier content operations.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Spearheaded by Manager of Digital Marketing &amp; Brand Development, Spencer Loeb along with Coodinator of Communications &amp; Videography, Jack Clark; the Frontenacs experienced significant growth across social media platforms and continued to push the boundaries on content this past season. By bringing the business operations and hockey operations teams closer together and earning the trust of one another there was plenty of doors open that were previously closed, allowing player driven content to shine through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">&#8220;Getting hockey operations on board was huge for us. They realized that the ability to take the helmet off of our players is what builds that connection with our fans and builds the foundation,&#8221; <\/span><\/strong><\/em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">said Spencer Loeb.\u00a0<em>&#8220;You see it at every home game, every team event, every autograph signing. I always hear fans bringing up something they saw on our Instagram or X account and they want to talk about it with our players. Building that connection is something that is crucial to the success of any franchise.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The openess and honestly of Head Coach Troy Mann also attributes to the award, as you don&#8217;t see too many coaches around the junior ranks be as open as Mann, with his previous experience at the pro level having a lot to do with it. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">&#8220;Troy being as transparent as he is in his pre and post-game interviews is massive for us,&#8221; <\/span><\/strong><\/em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">said Jack Clark. <em>&#8220;When we film with Troy he always tells us to ask whatever we want, and he&#8217;s always comfortable answering whatever is in front of him. He realizes that honesty with the fan base goes a long way. If we have a tough loss where the effort maybe wasn&#8217;t there, he doesn&#8217;t hold back and he doesn&#8217;t hide from the cameras. He knows the fans deserve better and the coaching staff is always willing to help us out in any way possible. It goes a long way.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The award serves as a testament to the collaborative culture that has been built throughout the organization, with every department playing a role in helping tell the stories that make the Kingston Frontenacs more than just a hockey team.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">&#8220;It&#8217;s an honour to be recognized by the league, especially considering the incredible work being done by other teams across the OHL,&#8221; <\/span><\/strong><\/em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">said Loeb.<\/span><\/strong><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"> &#8220;This award belongs to everyone in our organization; from our players and coaches for trusting us and letting their personalities shine, to our business staff for always supporting new ideas, and our amazing content team that are a part of our game day staff and capture all of the magic of a home game in Kingston. We&#8217;re incredibly proud of what we&#8217;ve built, but we&#8217;re even more excited about where we can take it next.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">As the Frontenacs continue to grow both on and off the ice, the Content Team of the Year award stands as another milestone in the organization&#8217;s commitment to connecting with its fans and delivering a first-class experience to the Frontenacs Family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><strong>For media inquiries,

Prospects, families, team personnel, and fans gathered throughout the weekend to celebrate the next generation of OHL talent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;font-size: 12pt\">Leading the way for the Frontenacs was first round selection Logan Prud&#8217;homme, chosen 10th overall on Friday evening.

The draft class features a diverse mix of forwards, defencemen, and a goaltender who will look to develop within the organization over the coming years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Brantford 99ers forward Roman Vanacker came in at pick 23, the first name on the board for the Frontenacs to kick off day two of the festivities. The brother of Brantford Bulldogs forward and Chicago Blackhawks first round pick Marek Vanacker is lauded for his goal scoring prowess and tenacious skating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u201cHe was the captain of his team in Brantford and dragged them into the fight each game with his compete,\u201d <\/span><\/strong><\/em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">said Van Leusen.<\/span><\/strong><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"> \u201cHis play away from the puck creates a lot of turnovers and transition opportunities. Inside the blueline he&#8217;s an equally strong playmaker and goal scorer.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The Delhi, ON native isn&#8217;t just impressive on the ice. During the pre-draft interview process, General Manager Kory Cooper was blown away with his character and leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u201cWhen we asked his coaches and support staff about his character we were blown away by the answers we received,\u201d <\/span><\/strong><\/em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">said Cooper.<\/span><\/strong><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"> \u201cEveryone we spoke to said Roman is of very high character and takes care of his teammates both on and off the ice. He wore the C for a reason with the 99ers and is quite an impressive player.&#8221;<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Later in the second round the Frontenacs took towering defenceman Shane Roche from the Toronto Marlboros. Standing at 6&#8217;3&#8221;, Roche can bring a little bit of everything from the blueline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u201cHe is a tall left shot defender that is rangy as he has good feet and transitions well for his size,\u201d <\/span><\/strong><\/em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">said Van Leusen.<\/span><\/strong><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"> \u201cHe was very consistent with his first pass and getting the puck moving north. Inside the offensive zone, he showed great poise and an ability to get his shot on net or hit an open teammate through a seam.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Rounding out the first three rounds, the Frontenacs selected mobile defenceman Gavin Godick from the Don Mills Flyers; rounding out their first three rounds with two forwards and two defencemen.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">\u201cGavin is a right shot defenceman that has a good touch for the puck,\u201d <\/span><\/strong><\/em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">said Van Leusen.<\/span><\/strong><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"> \u201cHe moves well laterally in the offensive zone and can open up a lot of shooting and passing lanes. Most importantly he can defend hard and is tough to beat 1 on 1.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #000000\">The 2026 draft class joins a young and exciting core already in place in Kingston, providing further optimism for the future of the franchise.
