memorial cup champions fighting to stay in 8 th while frontenacs lead the conference<br />
As the <strong>Kingston</strong> <strong>Frontenacs</strong> continue to hold<br />
the top spot in the Eastern Conference with<br />
49 points, the defending Memorial Cup Champion<br />
Oshawa Generals are fighting to stay alive<br />
in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Despite<br />
trading two of their top players, and members of<br />
the Memorial Cup winning team from last season,<br />
Stephen Desrocher and Michael Dal Colle, the<br />
Generals strengthened their lead over the Hamilton<br />
Bulldogs for 9th place in the Eastern Conference<br />
after midweek games for both the Bulldogs<br />
(5-3 loss to Niagara on Wednesday) and Generals<br />
(4-3 shootout win last night over Peterborough).<br />
For the <strong>Frontenacs</strong>, with last week’s decisive<br />
5-3 win on New Year’s Day over the Peterborough<br />
Petes, <strong>Kingston</strong> has 23 wins, 11 regulation<br />
losses, 2 overtime losses, and 1 shootout loss. In<br />
the past 10 games, the <strong>Frontenacs</strong> have 6 wins,<br />
3 regulation losses, and 1 overtime loss.<br />
The Generals, on the other hand, are fighting<br />
to stay afloat in the Eastern Conference playoff<br />
race with 6 wins and 4 losses in their past 10<br />
games. For the season, the Generals have 16<br />
wins, 18 losses, 3 overtime losses, and 2 shootout<br />
losses–good for 37 points.<br />
In the 4 match-ups between the two clubs so<br />
far this season, <strong>Kingston</strong> is ahead in the series<br />
with 3 wins to Oshawa’s 1. The <strong>Frontenacs</strong> have<br />
a slight lead in scoring between the two teams<br />
this season when facing each other, with 11 goals<br />
to Oshawa’s 9.<br />
RETURN OF WORLD JUNIOR PLAYERS: The <strong>Kingston</strong><br />
<strong>Frontenacs</strong> will soon see the return of the three<br />

including Juho Lammikko (forward) who<br />
won Gold with Finland, as well as Roland McKeown<br />
(defence) and Lawson Crouse (forward) who<br />
played for Team Canada. Deputy Mayor Ryan<br />
