Saturday, September 26, 2015 when he made 38 saves and was 3-for-3 in the shootout during a 6-5 road victory over the London Knights. Helvig and Kingston also beat London 6-2 in their post-deadline matchup on Friday, February 26, 2016 in Kingston. “I feel like that came together after the first game of season that I played in London,” Helvig says. “It was a big crowd and they have a really good team, we came out with a big win and I got a lot of confidence after that game.” The Frontenacs and North Bay Battalion are the only two teams left in the OHL playoffs with two Ontario-born goalies who have never played elsewhere in major junior. Five of the other six squads have a U.S.-born starter. Prior to Doug Gilmour becoming general manager in 2011, Kingston often relied on trading for older netminders. McFarland believes there’s an added edge from having a homegrown goalie. “Our guys play for our goalies—they believe in our goalies,” McFarland says. “You can see it in how happy the guys were when they were skating toward Jeremy in the net when we won. That shows the importance of having guys grow through the system. Whether it is one or two years to become the starter, they build that relationship with the rest of their team. Any great goalie needs people to play great in front of him, and our guys have that relationship.” Helvig cites the Montreal Canadiens’ Carey Price as a role model. (“He’s calm in net and I feel like I am calm in net.”) Both Kingston goalies are grads of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. In Helvig’s age- 16 season, he was with the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots when they reached the national Junior A championship. “The first year with Junior A was great for ice time and getting to know the routine of junior hockey,” Helvig says. Helvig will turn 19 years old on May 25, the day of the MasterCard Memorial Cup final. When informed of that coincidence, he demurs, “that’s the first I’ve heard that.” Meantime, with their 1A and 1B goalies, the Frontenacs might have a few firsts ahead of them this spring. written by Neate Sager originally published on sportsnet.ca For more of Neate Sager’s work and everything fans need to stay up to date on the entire CHL, visit Sportsnet.ca/CHL OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM, VOLUME 43, 2015 17
