The five-day camp will feature on-ice practices, intra-squad competition, off-ice testing, and development sessions, while Hockey Canada evaluates players ahead of the 2026 U17 World Challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kingston, ON – <\/strong>The Kingston Frontenacs are thrilled to announce that captain Vann Williamson will return to the club for the 2026-27 OHL season, choosing to complete his major junior career where it all began.<\/span><\/p>\n

After originally committing to Clarkson University following the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign, Williamson has elected to decommit and return to Kingston for his overage season, providing the Frontenacs with a proven leader on the blue line and one of the organization’s most respected voices both on and off the ice.<\/span><\/p>\n

“After taking some time to reflect, I knew in my heart that I wasn’t ready for my junior career to come to an end,”\u00a0<\/i>said Williamson.\u00a0“I felt like I still had more to accomplish here. We have a special team, and I truly believe that we have the opportunity to accomplish something special together. I wanted to come back, continue helping our younger players, and do everything I can to help this group compete for a championship.”<\/em><\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Selected by Kingston in the fourth round of the 2022 OHL Priority Selection, Williamson’s journey has been one defined by perseverance. Breaking into a veteran lineup wasn’t easy, but through hard work and determination, the Ajax, ON native steadily earned a larger role with every season. His commitment to improvement culminated in January 2026 when he was named the 48th captain in franchise history following the OHL trade deadline, showing he earned the respect of his teammates and coaching staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it’s setting the standard in the locker room, leading workouts in the gym, or representing the organization throughout the Kingston community, Vann has become the embodiment of what it means to wear the Frontenacs crest. His professionalism, work ethic, and character have made him a role model for younger players and a trusted leader within the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Returning as an overager gives Williamson the chance to finish the story he started four years ago. Rather than beginning the next chapter of his hockey career this fall, he has chosen to invest one final season in the Frontenacs, helping guide a talented group with championship aspirations while continuing to build upon the culture he has helped establish.<\/span><\/p>\n

From fourth round draft pick to captain, Williamson will now have one final opportunity to wear the black and gold, finish his OHL career where it all started, and try to deliver on his promise to bring a championship to the City of Kingston.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kingston, ON \u2013<\/strong> The Kingston Frontenacs will be passing on the 2026 CHL Import Draft that is set for 11AM this morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Frontenacs went into the draft holding picks No. 104, No. 150 and No. 165. Selections No. 104 and No. 165 were acquired from the Flint Firebirds as part of a pick swap completed prior to the 2026 OHL Priority Selection. Due to having two import forwards already on the roster in Tomas Pobezal and Alex Misiak and the rights to defenceman Adam Goljer, the club has made the choice to pass on all selections this morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite holding just two active picks, the CHL Import Draft has become an important avenue for the Frontenacs to bolster their roster and build sustained success. In the last two seasons, Kingston has benefitted greatly from the contributions of several high impact import players, including Slovakian forwards Tomas Pobezal and Alex Misiak, Finnish forward Tuomas Uronen and defenceman Emil Pieniniemi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although just here for one season, Uronen and Pieniniemi played pivotal roles in the club’s resurgence and playoff success; also representing Finland at the 2025 World Juniors and capturing a silver medal. This past season, Pobezal and Misiak have continued that tradition, bringing skill, international experience and offensive production to the black and gold. <\/span><\/p>\n

All eyes are on Slovakian defenceman Adam Goljer to see if he’ll come over to Kingston this season after being selected in the 2025 CHL Import Draft. The recent second round selection of the LA Kings in the 2026 NHL Draft would be a highly touted addition to the Frontenacs blueline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
