A GREAT START TO THE 43 rd SEASON OF
OHL HOCKEY IN KINGSTON!
Thank you for your support in our big games so far this season, a support
that has led to the 6th highest average attendance in the OHL so far this

non-profit agencies, minor hockey teams, and group support! Before
our break for Christmas, we have more exciting nights planned, including
our annual Teddy Bear Toss on Friday, November 27 vs. Guelph
Storm and Hockey For Hunger in support of our local foodbanks on Friday,
December 11 vs. Sault Ste. Marie. These two games are always great
showcases for the generosity of our fans to our community. Thank you!
Inside this issue you’ll find some great articles to give you some insight
into our team. Gord Hunter brings you “From Russia with Puck” on page
6 about Konstantin Chernyuk, our Russian-born defenceman who come
to Kingston from Russia through Wichita Falls, Texas. Gord also looks at
the birth of the OHL franchise in Kingston with “More Than 40 Years of
Junior Hockey History” on page 12. Tonight’s game story is the introduction
of Barrack The Bear, our new mascot, on page 22.
On and off the ice, the Kingston Frontenacs are off to a great start to our
43rd season of OHL Hockey in Kingston. On behalf of the entire Kingston
Frontenacs Hockey Club, we hope you are enjoying our games, thank you

How do you turn a devastating
injury to a promising Finnish
import into a 6’5” Russian
rookie defenseman? Darren Keily
and the Frontenacs staff pulled it off
and they did it without much time or
preparation.
After playing all 68 games for
Kingston last season, promising
defenseman Jarkko Parikka tore his
Achilles tendon in a practice prior to
the start of the playoffs. The injury
was described as traumatic but the
training staff held out hope that he
might be able to return in the fall.
After talking to Jarkko, his family
and his agent in June, Keily said
that the injury was not responding as
well as had been expected. Following
some discussions the parties came
to a mutual decision and Parikko
was released. Unfortunately by the
time they reached that conclusion,
the Frontenacs were well behind in
terms of scouting the 2015 import
class.
“Normally I’m at the U18’s
because no matter how much you
look at the scouting reports, you’re
always more comfortable if you see
the boys play before you draft them,”
said Keily. “Since we thought we
had our imports (Lamikko and
Parikka) I didn’t attend the U18’s
last spring so I had to depend on our
scouts and advisors.”
Those advisors had discovered
Konstantin Chernyuk, a lanky
Russian defenseman playing tier
two junior hockey in Wichita Falls,
Texas. The native of St. Petersburg,
Russia had a good foundation of
skills and as the saying goes in
hockey circles, you can’t teach size.
Coach Paul McFarland praised
Keily and the hockey operations
staff. “Doug and Darren worked
hard on digging up information
and finding the right player,” said
McFarland. “Konstantin is a player
that’s come in and gotten better
each and every day. We like big
defensemen and he’s got great feet
and moves the puck well.”
For his part Konstantin feels he’s
adjusting to the speed and high skill
level of the OHL. “The first game
with the Frontenacs wasn’t that
good for me and I knew it was going
to be hard,” said Chernyuk. “Coach
told me it was going to be much
faster and I didn’t really understand
the tactics but now I’m starting to
know what the players will do and
how they will play.”
By the end of October, the young
Russian was still looking for his
first point but in a game against
Peterborough he did manage to
acquit himself well in an OHL rite of
passage – his first fight. Chernyuk,
who at 17 and 175 pounds isn’t
yet the imposing rearguard he
will eventually develop into, took

on Petes’ rookie Ian McKinnon
and managed to land a few bombs
before the linesmen stepped in to
break up the scrap. Neither player
was injured and Chernyuk received
a rousing ovation from the crowd
and a generous greeting from his
teammates when he returned to the
bench five minutes later.
Although Chernyuk wasn’t
chosen based solely on his size or
his physical game Coach McFarland
sees tremendous all around potential
for his rookie blueliner. “Like any
young guy he becomes more and
more comfortable with all parts of
the game the more he plays,” said
McFarland. “Konstantin will be a
guy who can contribute including the
physical game but we’re impressed
that he’s come in and gotten better
each and every day. Over time you’re
going to see there’s a big upside to
his offensive game.”
While Keily and the management
team are happy with Chernyuk’s
continued improvement, they are
also focused on Konstantin as he
transitions to life as a teenager in
Canada. “It’s a new league it’s a new
county a new everything,” said Keily.
“We’re committed to being there for
him and supporting him – like we are
for all our new and returning players.
He’s got a bright future if he can keep
trending in a positive direction.“

family decided he should make
the jump to North America. After
a year with the U16 Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Knights, the University
of Maine came calling. Then the
Bloomington Thunder of the
USHL (the American equivalent
of the CHL) drafted him. In
a very short span of time his
career had taken an upward and
decidedly American trajectory.
The following year, after realizing
that Scranton’s U18 team didn’t
provide enough of a challenge
Chernyuk moved to Wichita
Falls, Texas to play with a tiertwo
junior squad in the Lone Star
State. Meanwhile, Bloomington
had expressed interest in the
Russian youngster but they were
also very clear that they were
going for a championship and
would be focused on older players.
His best option seemed to be the
NCAA route so he signed a letter
of commitment to attend Maine
and play for the prestigious
Black Bears in Division 1. That’s
when the Frontenacs entered the
picture and after again discussing
the best options with his father,
a jump to the OHL seemed to
make the most sense. “Me and my
dad started talking about where
should I go, what’s our next step.
Go to the USHL go to Maine or
go to Canada to play for the
Frontenacs,” he said. “We decided
we have to go to Canada because
the hockey is better, the scouting
is better and it’s the main route to
the NHL. We made the decision
pretty quickly.”
KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY MAGAZINE

Both Keily and McFarland
are thrilled to have Konstantin
in Kingston. His six foot five
inch frame and matching reach
gives the Frontenacs’ defensive
corps something they haven’t had
since Erik Gudbranson departed
for the NHL in the fall of 2011.
While this young Russian has
a long way to go to match the
contributions that Gudbranson
made to the team, the continuing
improvement Chernyuk has
shown with each game is a sign
of good things to come. “A lot of
times it takes until Christmas
for new players to start to feel
confident in what they can do,”
said Keily. “Konstantin is already
starting to show that confidence.”
Chernyuk admits he’s
especially looking forward to
Christmas this year not just
to reach another benchmark of
performance or to celebrate the
holiday but because his parents
are coming for an extended visit.
“My mom and dad are coming in
December and they’ll stay and see
a few games in the New Year,”
he said with a smile. “I really
miss my family and my friends
that I grew up with and I miss
my mom’s Russian borscht. It’s
my favourite meal that my mom
would always cook for me.”
With home cooking on the
horizon and a boundless potential,
Chernyuk’s hockey future which
only last year appeared to be
south of the 49th parallel is now
shining brightly with a decidedly
Black and Gold glow. KF
OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM, VOLUME 43, 2015

Some 42 years ago the Ontario
Hockey Association granted
Kingston a franchise and
started a five-decade love affair
between the Limestone City and its
junior hockey team.
The origin of the Kingston
Canadians is somewhat confusing.
In the late 60’s and early 70’s the
Montreal Junior Canadians was a
powerhouse team in what was then
called Major Junior Hockey under
the banner of the Ontario Hockey
Association.
In 1972, in an effort to avoid
legal action from the newly formed
Quebec Major Junior Hockey
League (QMJHL) the Junior
Canadians were allowed to suspend
team operations for a year in order
to make the transition from the
OHA into the QMJHL. In the “Q”,
a new team emerged dubbed the
Montreal Bleu, Blanc et Rouge. Most
of the Junior Canadians moved with
them and that opened the door for
Kingston to begin operations the
following year.
The brand new Kingston
franchise was born and began play
in the 1973-1974 season using the
“Canadians” moniker and the colours
of their Montreal namesakes, but
the team had no other connection
to the Junior Canadians. In essence
the Kingston Canadians were an
expansion franchise with new
ownership and new players. They
experienced all the growing pains
associated with their rookie status
in that first season, managing just
20 wins and finishing well out of
playoff contention.
In season two with promising
youngsters like future Stanley
Cup winner Ken Linesman and
future NHLers Tony McKegney
and Mike Crombeen, they took the
eventual Memorial Cup Champion
Toronto Marlboroughs to an 8th and
deciding game.
Those were the days when each
playoff series was decided by the
first team to reach 9 points. In that
final game with the teams tied at 8
points each and the game tied 1-1,
sniper Mark Napier wristed a shot
by the Canadian’s goaltender but
the puck appeared to hit the post.
Michel Blais, a defensemen for
that Kingston team was on the ice
for what many Kingstonians still
remember as a “phantom” goal.
“I watched the shot hit the post,”
recalled Blais. “It definitely didn’t
go in, Napier didn’t even raise his
hands, but the goal judge put the
light on and they ended up calling
it a goal. We should have won that
game and then who knows what
would have happened.”
For many hockey fans in the
Limestone City, that watershed
moment when the upstart
sophomore franchise took the
vaunted Marlboroughs to the very
edge of defeat stands as a turning
point. The Canadians would go on to
make the playoffs for the next seven
seasons in a row. Along the way
12 KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY MAGAZINE

the franchise would celebrate many
achievements. They had scoring
champions (Tim Salmon in 1984)
and the first OHL goalie to score a
goal (Chris Clifford).
An eight-game stint by a then
16 year-old Paul Coffey would even
give the team a tenuous connection
to the Hockey Hall of Fame when
the Oilers and Penguins superstar
was later inducted as part of the
Hall’s 2004 class of players.
Sadly, the Canadians would
never reach a Memorial Cup
and after a mid-year change in
ownership during the 1987-1988
season–a season that finished with
an ignominious OHL-record losing
streak of 28 games–the Kingston
Canadians became a part of hockey
history.
The following year the team was
renamed The Raiders but would
only last only a single season before

local hockey stalwart Wren Blair led
another change in ownership and a
change in fortunes.
The team rocketed from last
place as The Raiders to second place
as The Kingston Frontenacs and
never looked back. While the team’s
on-ice achievements have been up
and down in the years since, the
connection to the community was
reignited as The Frontenacs and
has continued to grow under the
current ownership group led by the
Springer family.
In 2008 the team moved from the
aging Kingston Memorial Centre to
their current home in the Rogers
K-Rock Centre at 1 The Tragically
Hip Way. With local boy and NHL
Hall of Famer Doug Gilmour at the
helm and second-year coach Paul
McFarland behind the bench, the
team is looking good as they make
their way through the 2015-2016
season.
Returning stars like NHL first
round pick Lawson Crouse, 2014
OHL Goaltender of the year Lucas
Peressini, team captain Roland
McKeweon, sniper Spencer Watson
and Juho Lamikko will compliment
newcomers like Robbie Burt, Ryan
Cranford and Russian import
Konstantin Chernyuk. This solid
line-up is off to a promising start and
has the potential to do some damage
in the competitive East Division of
the OHL’s Eastern Conference.
40 years after the Kingston
Canadians took Mark Napier’s
Marlboroughs to a deciding game,
this squad of youngsters hopes to
create new and lasting memories for
a city that clearly has a strong, longstanding
and well-deserved history
of junior hockey excellence. KF

With a a mascot hiatus that
has lasted three seasons, the
Kingston Frontenacs are proud
to welcome Barrack The Bear to the fold.
We caught-up with Justin Chenier, Executive
Director of Buiness Operations
to get some insight on the newest member
of the Kingston Frontenacs.
GameDay: Who is Barrack The
Bear?
Justin Chenier: Officially, Barrack
is our Coordinator of Fun and Fan Excitement.
His role on game day is pretty
simple: give high-fives to the fans, deliver
the puck drop for the ceremonial
faceoffs, bring an element of fun to our
in-game promotions, be cute and cuddly,
and always be available for
hugs from the fans.
GD: Why a bear?
JC: Bears one of the first
animals kids find comfort in.
Teddy bears keep us safe at
night, they are our first best
buddies, and they are cute
and huggable. Besides, could
you imagine a turtle as a mascot?
GD: But there’s no geographical
or traditional connection to a bear in
Kingston.
JC: Barrack is from a pack of brown
bears who orginally settled around Frontenac
Provincial Park in 1673, around
the time Count Frontenac settled Fort
Frontenacs. He claims to be a distant
cousin of Carlton The Bear. That’s all
the graphical lineage and tradition to
hockey we need!
GD: In all seriousness, how did the
idea for a bear come about?
JC: Count Frontenac and Henry
The Cannonball each had good runs as
our mascots, and both played important
roles in helping us connect with
our youngest of fans, but both had their
challenges. Count Frontenac made kids
cry. He frightened kids with his overthe-top
grin. In Henry’s case, he was almost
always mistaken for a puck. When
both mascot costumes got the point of
needing replacing, we looked at many
options, and came up with Barrack The
Bear. We felt it was a new approach that
fit with the changes we’ve made over the
past few seasons.
GD: How did he go from concept to
reality?
JC: We had the idea for
a few seasons, but needed
the right partner to make
it work. That came with
Scott Douglas at BMW
Kingston. As a new partner
with the team, BMW
Kingston wanted to be involved
in new ways with our
fans, and the mascot was a
great fit.
We then worked with the
same design team that is responsible
for a number of major league mascots,
including Carlton The Bear for the Toronto
Maple Leafs, Ace for the Toronto
Blue Jays, and The Raptor for the Toronto
Raptors on the concept. We then
reached out to our friends with the
Toronto Maple Leafs, to help guide us
through the design process. They have
a ton of experience with Carlton and it
really helped us make sure we weren’t
missing or overlooking anything. The
end result is Barrack The Bear! KF
