A first round sweep at the hands of the Ottawa 67\u2019s tells only part of the story. Beneath the surface, this was a series defined by tight margins, hard lessons, and a young group beginning to understand what it takes to compete when the stakes are at their highest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"381\" data-end=\"949\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">When the dust settled on the trade deadline and the team had moved on from Jacob Battaglia, Tyler Hopkins and Andrew Kuzma; the general consensus around the league was that Kingston had thrown in the towel and committed to getting a high draft pick this season. The moves saw younger players get elevated into bigger roles and the team consistently got better as the season went on, finishing sixth in the Eastern Conference. <\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"381\" data-end=\"949\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">The Frontenacs earned their place in the postseason through consistency, good habits and a strong work ethic; finishing much higher than most anticipated. When the playoffs arrived, they were met with a structured and experienced Ottawa squad that executed in key moments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"381\" data-end=\"949\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">Despite being swept, Kingston was far from overmatched. Each contest was competitive, with the Frontenacs showing resilience, pushing pace, and refusing to back down; fighting back in multiple games to tie the game up and push back against the 67&#8217;s. It was a series that demanded near perfect hockey, and that&#8217;s something the Frontenacs just were not ready for. Junior hockey is a cyclical sport and this wasn&#8217;t Kingston&#8217;s time, not yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"1476\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">For Kingston, the value of this experience cannot be overstated. Playoff hockey introduces a different standard; one where details are magnified, time and space disappear, and every mistake carries weight. That lesson was felt in real time by a core of young players who were thrust into meaningful roles over the course of the season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"1476\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">Alex McLean was acquired in a trade with the Guelph Storm around the trade deadline and ended up leading the team in points. Rookies Aleks Kulemin, Nolan Snyder and Robin Kuzma formed &#8216;The Kid Line&#8217; and were relied upon heavily down the stretch and rose to the occasion many times. Matthew Henderson showed maturity beyond his years as a first-year defenseman and played big minutes in the playoffs. Gavin Betts won multiple OHL Goaltender of the week honours this season and looks poised to have a breakout season next year, taking that next step. Many players took important steps forward, gaining first hand exposure to the intensity and discipline required to win in the postseason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1824\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">There were flashes throughout the series that offered a glimpse of what this group can become. Offensive pressure came in waves at times, defensive structure tightened as games wore on, and the belief within the lineup never wavered. Even when trailing, the Frontenacs pushed back and clawed their way back into games, a sign of a team that is building not just skill, but identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"2263\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">That identity will be the foundation moving forward. With a young core returning and a season\u2019s worth of growth behind them, Kingston now has something more tangible than potential, they have experience. The kind that can\u2019t be taught in practice or replicated in the regular season. The kind that comes from battling through a playoff series and understanding exactly how thin the line is between extending a season and watching it end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2265\" data-end=\"2568\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">As the page turns to the 2026-27 season, the Frontenacs will carry both the disappointment of an early exit and the motivation that comes with it. The standard has been set. The path is clearer. For a group that has already shown its willingness to compete, the next step is turning those lessons into results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2570\" data-end=\"2628\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">The season may be over, but the pursuit is just beginning for this young, talented Frontenacs core.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025-26 season came to a close sooner than the Kingston Frontenacs would have liked, but not without promise.

The nightmare start continued for the Frontenacs with a goal from Nic Sima making it 2-0 under three minutes into the contest; thus ending Matt Minchak&#8217;s night between the pipes before it ever really got going, being replaced by Gavin Betts. Being down 2-0 that early in the game clearly wasn&#8217;t ideal, but that gave the black and gold a lot of runway to get back in it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\"><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph --><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">Just beyond the halfway point of the first, Matthew Frost would get the comeback attempt going. Riley Clark burst into the Ottawa zone as a one man wrecking crew, bullying his way through a crowd. Clark&#8217;s shot hit a body and went wide, but the puck eventually fell to Frost who roofed it over the glove of Ryder Fetterolf to cut the 67&#8217;s lead in half.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\"><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph --><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">With their season on the line the Frontenacs came out of the gates swinging to start the second period; with Robin Kuzma tying the game just a 1:07 into the middle stanza. Maleek McGowan rushed from the blueline towards the left corner and fed a pass through the crease to Kuzma for a tap-in and the tying goal. Kingston&#8217;s bench and crowd alike could feel the momentum swing as the black and gold dominated the second period, outshooting the 67&#8217;s 11-4 and spending a lot of time in the Ottawa end, but couldn&#8217;t find a go ahead goal before the third period got underway.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\"><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph --><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">The third period was a back and forth battle of attrition between the two sides, as both teams traded sustained pressure in the opposition\u2019s zone. Gavin Betts came up with huge saves and Ryder Fetterolf was there to match. Just when everyone thought the game was going to overtime, Filip Ekberg made his presence known. Ekberg drove the net with just 30 seconds to play and beat Gavin Betts on the short side, giving the 67\u2019s a 3-2 lead with virtually no time remaining.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\"><!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph --><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">With little time left to play, the Frontenacs weren\u2019t able to get an equalizer, thus ending their season in game four. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">Although a sweep in the first round is never an easy thing to swallow, there are a lot of positives to take away from a young team that did better than many expected.

Cornwall is the historic home of the Cornwall Royals, who played in the QMJHL from 1969 to 1981, capturing three Memorial Cup titles (1972, 1980, and 1981). The franchise subsequently competed in the OHL from 1981 through the 1991-92 season before relocating to Newmarket, and has operated as the Sarnia Sting since 1994-95. During its major junior era, Cornwall developed Hockey Hall of Famers and legends of the game, including Dale Hawerchuk, Doug Gilmour, and Marc Crawford.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">\u201cThe Seaway Shootout will see the return of regular season OHL games in Cornwall for the first time in decades,\u201d said Cornwall Mayor Justin Towndale. \u201cOver the years, the City of Cornwall has continued to make meaningful investments and upgrades in the Civic Complex, and this event is a testament to those investments. We are excited about this partnership with the OHL and look forward to continuing this renewed relationship well into the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">Cornwall\u2019s impact on professional hockey extends from the ice to the bench and the officiating crew. The city has produced notable figures including former NHL referee Bob Kilger and his son, Chad Kilger, a Kingston Frontenacs alumnus who enjoyed a lengthy NHL playing career. It is also the hometown of the late Orval Tessier, a prominent coach who led both the Royals and the OHL&#8217;s Kitchener Rangers before taking the helm as head coach of the NHL&#8217;s Chicago Blackhawks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">The Seaway Shootout will be hosted at the Ed Lumley Arena within the Cornwall Civic Complex. The venue is no stranger to high-level hockey, having recently hosted 2024 IIHF World Junior pre-tournament competition as well as the 2022 World Junior A Challenge. The Complex has also been the proud home of the Central Canada Hockey League&#8217;s (CCHL) Cornwall Colts since 1992.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">Ticket information, game times, and broadcast details for the 2026 Seaway Shootout will be announced at a later date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\"><strong>For more information, please contact:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">Josh Sweetland<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">Director, Communications<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">Ontario Hockey League<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto, ON\u00a0\u2013 The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) is proud to announce the Seaway Shootout, a special two-game event bringing major junior hockey back to the city of Cornwall.

The Frontenacs delivered a structured, determined effort, particularly in the defensive zone, and were locked in a one goal battle for much of the night. Goaltender Matt Minchak was a standout once again, turning aside quality chances and giving Kingston every opportunity to stay within striking distance. His performance kept the game at 1-0 deep into the third period, as the Frontenacs continued to press for a breakthrough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"1228\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">However, the veteran presence of Ottawa proved to be the difference late. The 67\u2019s capitalized on a brief lapse as Jasper Kuhta and Sam McCue scored twice in quick succession in the third period to create separation before sealing the win with an empty net goal from Nic Sima. Despite the final scoreline, Kingston showed they can match Ottawa\u2019s pace and structure when playing to their identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1613\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">Now, the challenge becomes turning that effort into results. The Frontenacs will need to find a way to generate more sustained offensive pressure and capitalize on their chances, particularly against a disciplined Ottawa team that has limited time and space throughout the series. Attention to detail, especially in key moments, will be critical if Kingston hopes to flip the script.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1806\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\">With their backs against the wall, expect a desperate and energized group from Kingston. Playing in front of their home crowd, the opportunity is there to spark a comeback; one game at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1806\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: #333333\"><strong>Next Home Game:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1806\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57872\" src=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/04\/02094859\/Apr2-1920x1080-OTT.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/04\/02094859\/Apr2-1920x1080-OTT.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/04\/02094859\/Apr2-1920x1080-OTT-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/04\/02094859\/Apr2-1920x1080-OTT-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/04\/02094859\/Apr2-1920x1080-OTT-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/04\/02094859\/Apr2-1920x1080-OTT-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kingston, ON &#8211; Facing elimination on home ice, the Kingston Frontenacs return to the ice tonight at Slush Puppie Place for Game Four of their opening round series against the Ottawa 67\u2019s, with puck drop set for 7:05PM.
