40 Years of Junior Hockey History” on page 12. Tonight’s game story on<br />

page 22 is a one-on-one with Head Coach Paul McFarland.<br />

6 KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY MAGAZINE


How do you turn a devastating<br />

injury to a promising Finnish<br />

import into a 6’5” Russian<br />

rookie defenseman? Darren Keily<br />

and the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> staff pulled it off<br />

and they did it without much time or<br />

preparation.<br />

After playing all 68 games for<br />

<strong>Kingston</strong> last season, promising<br />

defenseman Jarkko Parikka tore his<br />

Achilles tendon in a practice prior to<br />

the start of the playoffs. The injury<br />

was described as traumatic but the<br />

training staff held out hope that he<br />

might be able to return in the fall.<br />

After talking to Jarkko, his family<br />

and his agent in June, Keily said<br />

that the injury was not responding as<br />

well as had been expected. Following<br />

some discussions the parties came<br />

to a mutual decision and Parikko<br />

was released. Unfortunately by the<br />

time they reached that conclusion,<br />

the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> were well behind in<br />

terms of scouting the <strong>2015</strong> import<br />

class.<br />

“Normally I’m at the U18’s<br />

because no matter how much you<br />

look at the scouting reports, you’re<br />

always more comfortable if you see<br />

the boys play before you draft them,”<br />

said Keily. “Since we thought we<br />

had our imports (Lamikko and<br />

Parikka) I didn’t attend the U18’s<br />

last spring so I had to depend on our<br />

scouts and advisors.”<br />

Those advisors had discovered<br />

Konstantin Chernyuk, a lanky<br />

Russian defenseman playing tier<br />

two junior hockey in Wichita Falls,<br />

Texas. The native of St. Petersburg,<br />

Russia had a good foundation of<br />

skills and as the saying goes in<br />

hockey circles, you can’t teach size.<br />

Coach Paul McFarland praised<br />

Keily and the hockey operations<br />

staff. “Doug and Darren worked<br />

hard on digging up information<br />

and finding the right player,” said<br />

McFarland. “Konstantin is a player<br />

that’s come in and gotten better<br />

each and every day. We like big<br />

defensemen and he’s got great feet<br />

and moves the puck well.”<br />

For his part Konstantin feels he’s<br />

adjusting to the speed and high skill<br />

level of the OHL. “The first game<br />

with the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> wasn’t that<br />

good for me and I knew it was going<br />

to be hard,” said Chernyuk. “Coach<br />

told me it was going to be much<br />

faster and I didn’t really understand<br />

the tactics but now I’m starting to<br />

know what the players will do and<br />

how they will play.”<br />

By the end of October, the young<br />

Russian was still looking for his<br />

first point but in a game against<br />

Peterborough he did manage to<br />

acquit himself well in an OHL rite of<br />

passage – his first fight. Chernyuk,<br />

who at 17 and 175 pounds isn’t<br />

yet the imposing rearguard he<br />

will eventually develop into, took<br />

on Petes’ rookie Ian McKinnon<br />

and managed to land a few bombs<br />

before the linesmen stepped in to<br />

break up the scrap. Neither player<br />

was injured and Chernyuk received<br />

a rousing ovation from the crowd<br />

and a generous greeting from his<br />

teammates when he returned to the<br />

bench five minutes later.<br />

Although Chernyuk wasn’t<br />

chosen based solely on his size or<br />

his physical game Coach McFarland<br />

sees tremendous all around potential<br />

for his rookie blueliner. “Like any<br />

young guy he becomes more and<br />

more comfortable with all parts of<br />

the game the more he plays,” said<br />

McFarland. “Konstantin will be a<br />

guy who can contribute including the<br />

physical game but we’re impressed<br />

that he’s come in and gotten better<br />

each and every day. Over time you’re<br />

going to see there’s a big upside to<br />

his offensive game.”<br />

While Keily and the management<br />

team are happy with Chernyuk’s<br />

continued improvement, they are<br />

also focused on Konstantin as he<br />

transitions to life as a teenager in<br />

Canada. “It’s a new league it’s a new<br />

county a new everything,” said Keily.<br />

“We’re committed to being there for<br />

him and supporting him – like we are<br />

for all our new and returning players.<br />

He’s got a bright future if he can keep<br />

trending in a positive direction.“


Amazing selection.<br />

Amazing network.<br />

That’s just better.<br />

Like most 17 year-old players<br />

who reach an elite level of hockey,<br />

Chernyuk realizes the sacrifices that<br />

family decided he should make<br />

the jump to North America. After<br />

a year with the U16 Wilkes-Barre/<br />

Scranton Knights, the University<br />

of Maine came calling. Then the<br />

Bloomington Thunder of the<br />

USHL (the American equivalent<br />

of the CHL) drafted him. In<br />

a very short span of time his<br />

career had taken an upward and<br />

decidedly American trajectory.<br />

The following year, after realizing<br />

that Scranton’s U18 team didn’t<br />

provide enough of a challenge<br />

Chernyuk moved to Wichita<br />

Falls, Texas to play with a tiertwo<br />

junior squad in the Lone Star<br />

State. Meanwhile, Bloomington<br />

had expressed interest in the<br />

Russian youngster but they were<br />

also very clear that they were<br />

going for a championship and<br />

would be focused on older players.<br />

His best option seemed to be the<br />

NCAA route so he signed a letter<br />

of commitment to attend Maine<br />

and play for the prestigious<br />

Black Bears in Division 1. That’s<br />

when the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> entered the<br />

picture and after again discussing<br />

the best options with his father,<br />

a jump to the OHL seemed to<br />

make the most sense. “Me and my<br />

dad started talking about where<br />

should I go, what’s our next step.<br />

Go to the USHL go to Maine or<br />

go to Canada to play for the<br />

<strong>Frontenacs</strong>,” he said. “We decided<br />

we have to go to Canada because<br />

the hockey is better, the scouting<br />

is better and it’s the main route to<br />

the NHL. We made the decision<br />

pretty quickly.”<br />

KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY MAGAZINE


Both Keily and McFarland<br />

are thrilled to have Konstantin<br />

in <strong>Kingston</strong>. His six foot five<br />

inch frame and matching reach<br />

gives the <strong>Frontenacs</strong>’ defensive<br />

corps something they haven’t had<br />

since Erik Gudbranson departed<br />

for the NHL in the fall of 2011.<br />

While this young Russian has<br />

a long way to go to match the<br />

contributions that Gudbranson<br />

made to the team, the continuing<br />

improvement Chernyuk has<br />

shown with each game is a sign<br />

of good things to come. “A lot of<br />

times it takes until Christmas<br />

for new players to start to feel<br />

confident in what they can do,”<br />

said Keily. “Konstantin is already<br />

starting to show that confidence.”<br />

Chernyuk admits he’s<br />

especially looking forward to<br />

Christmas this year not just<br />

to reach another benchmark of<br />

performance or to celebrate the<br />

holiday but because his parents<br />

are coming for an extended visit.<br />

“My mom and dad are coming in<br />

December and they’ll stay and see<br />

a few games in the New Year,”<br />

he said with a smile. “I really<br />

miss my family and my friends<br />

that I grew up with and I miss<br />

my mom’s Russian borscht. It’s<br />

my favourite meal that my mom<br />

would always cook for me.”<br />

With home cooking on the<br />

horizon and a boundless potential,<br />

Chernyuk’s hockey future which<br />

only last year appeared to be<br />

south of the 49th parallel is now<br />

shining brightly with a decidedly<br />

Black and Gold glow. KF<br />

OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM, VOLUME 43, <strong>2015</strong>


Some 42 years ago the Ontario<br />

Hockey Association granted<br />

<strong>Kingston</strong> a franchise and<br />

started a five-decade love affair<br />

between the Limestone City and its<br />

junior hockey team.<br />

The origin of the <strong>Kingston</strong><br />

Canadians is somewhat confusing.<br />

In the late 60’s and early 70’s the<br />

Montreal Junior Canadians was a<br />

powerhouse team in what was then<br />

called Major Junior Hockey under<br />

the banner of the Ontario Hockey<br />

Association.<br />

In 1972, in an effort to avoid<br />

legal action from the newly formed<br />

Quebec Major Junior Hockey<br />

League (QMJHL) the Junior<br />

Canadians were allowed to suspend<br />

team operations for a year in order<br />

to make the transition from the<br />

OHA into the QMJHL. In the “Q”,<br />

a new team emerged dubbed the<br />

Montreal Bleu, Blanc et Rouge. Most<br />

of the Junior Canadians moved with<br />

them and that opened the door for<br />

<strong>Kingston</strong> to begin operations the<br />

following year.<br />

The brand new <strong>Kingston</strong><br />

franchise was born and began play<br />

in the 1973-1974 season using the<br />

“Canadians” moniker and the colours<br />

of their Montreal namesakes, but<br />

the team had no other connection<br />

to the Junior Canadians. In essence<br />

the <strong>Kingston</strong> Canadians were an<br />

expansion franchise with new<br />

ownership and new players. They<br />

experienced all the growing pains<br />

associated with their rookie status<br />

in that first season, managing just<br />

20 wins and finishing well out of<br />

playoff contention.<br />

In season two with promising<br />

youngsters like future Stanley<br />

Cup winner Ken Linesman and<br />

future NHLers Tony McKegney<br />

and Mike Crombeen, they took the<br />

eventual Memorial Cup Champion<br />

Toronto Marlboroughs to an 8th and<br />

deciding game.<br />

Those were the days when each<br />

playoff series was decided by the<br />

first team to reach 9 points. In that<br />

final game with the teams tied at 8<br />

points each and the game tied 1-1,<br />

sniper Mark Napier wristed a shot<br />

by the Canadian’s goaltender but<br />

the puck appeared to hit the post.<br />

Michel Blais, a defensemen for<br />

that <strong>Kingston</strong> team was on the ice<br />

for what many <strong>Kingston</strong>ians still<br />

remember as a “phantom” goal.<br />

“I watched the shot hit the post,”<br />

recalled Blais. “It definitely didn’t<br />

go in, Napier didn’t even raise his<br />

hands, but the goal judge put the<br />

light on and they ended up calling<br />

it a goal. We should have won that<br />

game and then who knows what<br />

would have happened.”<br />

For many hockey fans in the<br />

Limestone City, that watershed<br />

moment when the upstart<br />

sophomore franchise took the<br />

vaunted Marlboroughs to the very<br />

edge of defeat stands as a turning<br />

point. The Canadians would go on to<br />

make the playoffs for the next seven<br />

seasons in a row. Along the way<br />

the franchise would celebrate many<br />

achievements. They had scoring<br />

champions (Tim Salmon in 1984)<br />

and the first OHL goalie to score a<br />

goal (Chris Clifford).<br />

An eight-game stint by a then<br />

16 year-old Paul Coffey would even<br />

give the team a tenuous connection<br />

to the Hockey Hall of Fame when<br />

the Oilers and Penguins superstar<br />

was later inducted as part of the<br />

Hall’s 2004 class of players.<br />

Sadly, the Canadians would<br />

never reach a Memorial Cup<br />

and after a mid-year change in<br />

ownership during the 1987-1988<br />

season–a season that finished with<br />

an ignominious OHL-record losing<br />

streak of 28 games–the <strong>Kingston</strong><br />

Canadians became a part of hockey<br />

history.<br />

The following year the team was<br />

renamed The Raiders but would<br />

only last only a single season before<br />

22 KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY MAGAZINE


www.reidsdairy.com • Belleville / <strong>Kingston</strong><br />

After being drafted by the Toronto<br />

Maple Leafs and winning<br />

a Memorial Cup with the<br />

Oshawa Generals last season, the<br />

future is bright for defenceman Stephen<br />

Desrocher. After being acquired<br />

in an early-season trade, Desrocher<br />

is leaving his mark on the <strong>Frontenacs</strong><br />

blue line. We had a chance to sit<br />

down with him recently for a one-onone.<br />

<strong>GameDay</strong>: You were part of the<br />

<strong>2015</strong> Memorial Cup-winning Oshawa<br />

Generals. First off, congratulations.<br />

Stephen Desrocher: Thank you<br />

very much.<br />

GD: Can you share with us that<br />

final game, hoisting the Memorial<br />

Cup?<br />

SD: It’s almost indescribable. It’s<br />

probably the best feeling in my life,<br />

winning the (Memorial) Cup with my<br />

team. We came a long way from the<br />

start of the year and all of our hard<br />

work paid off. To hold that cup, over<br />

our heads with my teammates is an<br />

unbelievable feeling I will never forget<br />

and I hope we can do it here in<br />

<strong>Kingston</strong>.<br />

GD: You’ve played your entire<br />

OHL career in a Generals jersey. It’s<br />

been an impressive career–33 points<br />

last season and 11 points in just 17<br />

games with the Generals this season.<br />

What was it like to hear there was<br />

an opportunity for you to join a new<br />

team in the same division?<br />

SD: It was a big shock for me at<br />

first. I didn’t expect to be traded the<br />

day I was traded, but when I found<br />

out it was <strong>Kingston</strong> I was very happy.<br />

<strong>Kingston</strong> is a great city, this is a<br />

great team here with a great coaching<br />

staff and great players. The opportunity<br />

for me here is unbelievable<br />

and I’m glad it was <strong>Kingston</strong> over<br />

any other team in the league.<br />

GD: You jumped right into the<br />

<strong>Frontenacs</strong> lineup, playing the day<br />

after you were traded. What was the<br />

biggest hurdle in not getting a chance<br />

to practice with the team before playing<br />

with them?<br />

SD: There are different things<br />

in the system that I still have to get<br />

used to, but it wasn’t too hard since<br />

<strong>Kingston</strong> plays a pretty similar system<br />

to the way we played in Oshawa,<br />

so it wasn’t too much of a jump, but<br />

there are still things even now that<br />

I’m still learning.<br />

GD: As things settle in with<br />

<strong>Kingston</strong>, more games played, more<br />

practices with the team, are you feeling<br />

more at home as a Frontenac?<br />

SD: Yes, of course. Every day I<br />

get to know the guys a bit better, I<br />

get to know the coaches a bit better,<br />

my billets, everyone. My roomate<br />

Juho (Lammikko) is a great guy who<br />

has welcomed me and Roland McKeown<br />

is one of my best friends from<br />

Toronto, so it’s been an easy transition<br />

for me. Everyone has been very<br />

welcoming here in <strong>Kingston</strong>, it’s been<br />

really great. KF<br />
