KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY REPORT<br />

THE RETURN OF THE VETERANS<br />

AFTER THEIR NHL CAMPS, DESROCHER AND HELVIG WELCOMED BACK TO THE FRONTS ROSTER<br />

The <strong>Kingston</strong> <strong>Frontenacs</strong> have come to accept<br />

the reality that good teams transfer<br />

into good drafts which mean bearer cupboards<br />

on the roster early in the season. Early in the<br />

2014-15 season the wait for Sam Bennett’s<br />

return had the club playing the waiting game.<br />

Last season, the question of Lawson Crouse’s<br />

return from Florida was quickly answered<br />

when he was returned from the Panthers at<br />

the end of their camp. So far this season the<br />

<strong>Frontenacs</strong> have enjoyed the return of veterans<br />

Stephen Desrocher (Toronto Maple Leafs)<br />

and Jeremy Helvig (Carolina Hurricanes) while<br />

they await the fate of Warren Foegele (Carolina<br />

Hurricanes) and Lawson Crouse (Arizona Coyotes)<br />

as the NHL season begins this weekend.<br />

Spencer Watson continues to recover from<br />

wrist surgery and isn’t expected to return to<br />

the roster until mid-year.<br />

ROADY ROUND UP: Since the home opener on<br />

Friday, September 23, the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> have<br />

played four straight road games before returning<br />

home tonight. The <strong>Frontenacs</strong> were .500<br />

on the road, starting with a 7-2 loss in Hamilton,<br />

a 5-0 win in Niagara, a 6-1 loss in Erie,<br />

and a 2-1 win in Ottawa last night.<br />

The Fronteancs now have four straight<br />

home games, beginning with tonight’s matchup<br />

against Sagniaw, before heading back on<br />

the road to Windsor, Saginaw, and Flint beginning<br />

on <strong>October</strong> 20.<br />

PINK IN THE RINK: Next Friday’s game vs. Sault<br />

Ste. Marie will see the return of the popular<br />

pink jerseys as the <strong>Kingston</strong> <strong>Frontenacs</strong> honour<br />

breast cancers surivors and their families<br />

with the annual Pink In The Rink. The game<br />

will also feature the Surivor Walk during the<br />

first intermission. Listen for SideShow’s cue on<br />

the public address system and join us as we<br />

honour the cancer fighters at the game next<br />

FRONTENACS WELCOME<br />

THE RETURN OF<br />

8 KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY MAGAZINE


y Doug Graham<br />

<strong>Kingston</strong> Whig-Standard<br />

S<br />

tephen Desrocher comes back to the <strong>Kingston</strong><br />

<strong>Frontenacs</strong> with some encouragement from the Toronto<br />

Maple Leafs brass.<br />

Desrocher will play as a 20-year-old overage defenceman<br />

for the <strong>Frontenacs</strong>, knowing the Leafs are<br />

happy with their 2015 draft prospect (Round 6, 155th<br />

overall).<br />

Desrocher, acquired by general manager Doug<br />

Gilmour from the Oshawa Generals in a trade last November,<br />

has taken to heart what Leafs general manager<br />

Lou Lamoriello and assistant GM Kyle Dubas told him<br />

during the exit talks.<br />

“They thought I had a good camp and told me a<br />

few things that they want me to work on throughout the<br />

season,” Desrocher said.<br />

“They want me to be a leader [for the <strong>Frontenacs</strong>]<br />

on and off the ice and continue to develop every day.<br />

That’s what I’m going to do here and hopefully next<br />

year I can make the step.”<br />

Desrocher, in his second camp experience with<br />

the Leafs, advanced from the rookie camp to the main<br />

camp in Halifax.<br />

“It is always fun to get out there, battle with the best<br />

of them and see what it takes,” Desrocher said.<br />

“It is pretty eye-opening. Making the NHL is obviously<br />

pretty hard. Mitch Marner [the London Knights<br />

star], he’s a once-in-a-generation player and [yet] he<br />

is not going to be given anything. He’s got to earn it.<br />

“There are a lot of steps and a lot of players in each<br />

organization. It is a lot harder than it might seem to<br />

people.”<br />

<strong>Frontenacs</strong> head coach Paul McFarland, who has<br />

known Desrocher since their days together in Oshawa,<br />

said the return of the six-foot-four, 206-pound, left-shot<br />

defenceman is obviously big for the club.<br />

“Stephen’s a great kid [with] a great attitude. I think<br />

he brings a lot of leadership and life into our dressing<br />

room,” McFarland said.<br />

“Obviously he’s a guy that can play in all situations.<br />

It’s just great to have him back as part of it. He’s going<br />

to be a huge piece for us.”<br />

Desrocher, who last season played 69 games in<br />

a 68-game regular-season Ontario Hockey League<br />

schedule — 17 for Oshawa and 52 for the <strong>Frontenacs</strong><br />

— has oodles of junior experience. He will surpass the<br />

200-game mark by December this season. Including<br />

Oshawa’s 21-game run to the Memorial Cup in 2015,<br />

he has played in 42 post-season games.<br />

“Leadership is one of those things where you probably<br />

take it for granted when you have lots of it. You<br />

realize how important it is when you have a younger<br />

group,” said McFarland.<br />

“Experience, that’s why it is just so important to get<br />

Stephen back. He’s been there, played the big games<br />

and won [the Memorial Cup]. But also in the dressing<br />

room, making sure we are prepared the right way for<br />

each and every period.”<br />

Desrocher said he plans to earn his pro contract<br />

through his play with the <strong>Frontenacs</strong>.<br />

“I’m going to try and do as much as I can to help<br />

the team. Then hopefully through that it will earn me a<br />

contract,” he said.<br />

“Try to get this team as far as we can. For that to<br />

happen I’ve got to be at my best and so does everyone<br />

else. If I’m at my best, hopefully I can get a contract.<br />

So that’s my goal.”<br />

Desrocher knows he is going to be relied on for big<br />

minutes on the blue-line. He got that last year with<br />

Roland McKeown around. Now McKeown is gone and<br />

up-and-coming star Jacob Paquette has had his NHL<br />

draft season delayed by an injury, so there is a big need<br />

for Desrocher on the blue-line to help nurture Jakob<br />

Brahaney, Colin Van Den Hurk and Eemeli Rasanen.<br />

“I am looking forward to playing in all situations and<br />

getting as much ice time as I can. I’ve got to be ready<br />

for my opportunities because I’m going to have some<br />

this year,” Durocher said.<br />

“Stephen has played 20 plus minutes for two or<br />

three years now. This year will be no different,” Mc-<br />

Farland said.<br />

“We expect him to create offence. He’s a guy that<br />

has got a big shot. He’s got to get up in the rush, make<br />

sure he is active at both ends of the ice.<br />

“Being a 20-year-old the league starts to slow down<br />

for you. He’ll be a big contributor for us.”<br />

y Josh Sweetland<br />

Ontario Hockey League<br />

Lawson Crouse, Spencer Watson, Warren<br />

Foegele and Stephen Desrocher are all<br />

impact names within the grasp of the<br />

<strong>Kingston</strong> <strong>Frontenacs</strong> for this season, but the<br />

timetable upon which they’ll dawn the black and<br />

gold again remains shrouded in mystery.<br />

After one of the most memorable and exciting<br />

seasons in franchise history, the <strong>Frontenacs</strong>,<br />

fresh off their first East Division title since 1995,<br />

have the potential to be very competitive again.<br />

“Coming into it we see the East as being pretty<br />

wide open,” said <strong>Frontenacs</strong> general manager<br />

Doug Gilmour. “Who do we have? What direction<br />

do we go? We don’t know yet, and that’ll be a<br />

decision we’ll have to make after we take some<br />

time to see what we have here.”<br />

he’s a leader.”<br />

As they await Crouse’s possible return, the<br />

<strong>Frontenacs</strong> have an intriguing overage situation<br />

featuring three players all drafted by NHL clubs.<br />

Spencer Watson, who signed with the Los<br />

Angeles Kings last April, underwent offseason<br />

wrist surgery and won’t return until approximately<br />

mid-December. His 43 goals last season were<br />

the most by a <strong>Frontenacs</strong> player since Matt<br />

Elich’s 44 in 1999.<br />

“After discussions with Los Angeles we’re led<br />

to believe that there’s a good chance Spencer will<br />

be back with us,” said Gilmour of the situation.<br />

“It’s still kind of up in the air, but his missing<br />

half the season may delay his graduation by one<br />

year.”<br />

Carolina Hurricanes prospect Warren<br />

Foegele, a third round pick by the club prior to<br />

his OHL career in 2014, remains unsigned and<br />

WITH SOME FAMILIAR NAMES AND A FEW NEW FACES, THE <strong>2016</strong>-17 EDITION OF THE KINGSTON<br />

FRONTENACS ARE OUT TO CREATE THEIR OWN IDENTITY IN THE OHL’S EASTERN CONFERENCE.<br />

Power winger Lawson Crouse will attend camp<br />

with the Arizona Coyotes after being dealt to the<br />

desert by the Florida Panthers this past summer.<br />

The 6-foot-4, 210Ib. flank who has represented<br />

Canada at the World Juniors in each of the past<br />

two years is a special talent for the <strong>Frontenacs</strong><br />

and could get an extended look with the Coyotes.<br />

“Lawson is a big man who plays the game as<br />

hard as anyone,” said Gilmour. “Obviously with<br />

the shakeup that happened in Florida this past<br />

year there were some changes made and Arizona<br />

got themselves a guy who, once he makes it to<br />

the NHL, is going to have a 15-17 year career<br />

and possibly be the captain of that team. I think<br />

there’s some incentive there for Lawson to show<br />

his new team what he can do. He demands<br />

respect in the dressing room for everybody and<br />

could return as a 20-year-old.<br />

“The addition of Foegele gave us another<br />

layer of depth last season and, should he be<br />

back with us, he’d be our number one centre,”<br />

said Gilmour. “His work ethic is over the top and<br />

he has that extra gear, that breakaway speed that<br />

few players possess.”<br />

With Crouse, Watson and Foegele all in the<br />

plans, the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> also feature the OHL Pre-<br />

Season’s leading scorer in 17-year-old Finnish<br />

winger Linus Nyman while <strong>2016</strong> first round pick<br />

Nathan Dunkley lead the league in goals with six.<br />

Sophomore winger Jason Robertson, whose<br />

18 goals last season were the most by a Fronts<br />

16-year-old since Anthony Stewart in 2002,<br />

has worked hard on his skating and is quickly<br />

developing into a reliable offensive option in<br />

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

“Jason is just one of those guys who finds<br />

ways to get on the scoresheet,” said Gilmour,<br />

who many could say had a similar knack during<br />

his playing days. “He’s not the quickest guy on<br />

the ice, but he always finds ways to make plays<br />

and get to the net. He improved on his strength<br />

this past summer and he will be a lot of fun to<br />

watch.”<br />

Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Stephen<br />

Desrocher could be a big asset on the blue<br />

line as an overager. Desrocher was drafted as a<br />

19-year-old by Toronto, giving the club until the<br />

end of this season to sign him to an entry-level<br />

deal.<br />

Desrocher’s potential return would give the<br />

<strong>Frontenacs</strong> a veteran to play alongside highly<br />

touted youngsters in draft eligible Jacob Paquette<br />

and 6-foot-6 Finnish talent Eemeli Rasanen.<br />

“There’s a new look on the blue line with<br />

Roland McKeown having moved on,” said<br />

Gilmour. “We think Jacob Paquette can be one<br />

of the top draft eligible guys in our league this<br />

year, that Rasanen has a lot to offer with that big<br />

wingspan and that (17-year-old) Jakob Brahaney<br />

took big strides during his time with the <strong>Kingston</strong><br />

Voyageurs last season.”<br />

The <strong>Frontenacs</strong> will also feature 19-year-old<br />

Liam Murray, 18-year-old commitment Liam<br />

Kendall and youngsters Colin Ven Den Hurk and<br />

Emmett Gordon as options on the back end.<br />

Overager Nathan Billitier also remains with the<br />

club.<br />

Jeremy Helving returns to the crease after<br />

quietly emerging as one of the league’s top<br />

goaltenders in a limited role last season. From<br />

January to the end of the 2015-16 season, Helvig<br />

went 12-1-0-1 with a 1.67 goals-against-average<br />

and a .944 save percentage over 15 games. The<br />

fifth round pick of the Carolina Hurricanes last<br />

summer will see his share of minutes this time<br />

around.<br />

“It can be hard as a backup sometimes to<br />

get into games when the team is on a roll, but<br />

Jeremy stepped up and made the most of his<br />

chances last season,” said Gilmour. “He paid<br />

his dues, worked really hard in practice, and got<br />

himself onto the NHL radar with a great second<br />

half. He’s a big body that keeps getting better<br />

and we’ll be counting on him.”<br />

With plenty of questions from the outset this<br />

season, the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> will take things a day<br />

at a time until their roster is solidified following<br />

decisions in the pro ranks.<br />

“We’re going young here as well,” said<br />

Gilmour of his club’s makeup. “We’ve added<br />

some young guys to the group and we’re<br />

committed to developing those players for the<br />

future.”<br />

“Mississauga looks like they’ll be good and<br />

there are some other teams who will be making<br />

improvements, but we think we’re right there.”<br />

After setting new single-season marks for<br />

wins (46) and points (97) last season, the<br />

<strong>Frontenacs</strong> look to build off that momentum<br />

and remain a competitive presence in the East<br />

Division.<br />
