READY FOR A DOGFIGHT 

KINGSTON LOOKING FOR THIRD STRAIGHT WIN OVER ICEDOGS THIS SEASON 

They say revenge is a dish best served cold. For the 

Frontenacs, revenge over the IceDogs from the 

round 2 playoff loss this past spring has been served 

over the ice of the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines 

so far this season with 2 wins, and now shifts to Rogers 

K-Rock Centre tonight. 

Unlike the 2016 OHL Playoffs, the Frontenacs 

haven’t had any problems getting pucks past the 

IceDogs goaltenders, scoring 8 goals in the 2 games 

so far this season. The IceDogs, without the veteran 

scoring power they had last spring have only managed 

a single goal. 

The IceDogs come into Rogers K-Rock Center 

tonight fighting for the final playoff spot in the Eastern 

Conference. They’ve managed to put distance 

between 10th place Barrie Colts, and have tied 8th 

place North Bay Battalion, with 5 wins and 5 regulation 

loses in their past 10 games. After 46 games 

played this season, the IceDogs have 16 wins, 23 

losses, 4 overtime losses, and 3 shootout losses, 

good for 39 points. But with a record on the road this 

season of only 5 wins, 14 regulation losses, 3 ovetime 

losses, and a shootout loss, they are in for a fight tonight 

if they are looking for the win. 

The Frontenacs, with 10 points in their last 10 

games, are looking to keep adding points to move up 

in the standings to secure home ice for the first round 

of the playoffs. After 45 games played this season, 

the Frontenacs are seeded in 5th place in the Eastern 

Conference with 20 wins, 17 regulation losses, 

5 overtime losses, and 3 shootout losses, good for 

48 points, just 1 point behind Hamilton in 4th place, 

5 points ahead of the Sudbury Wolves in 6th place.

the game issued jerseys for tomorrow night’s A Game

Frontenacs This Week // CogecoTV 

The keys to a win for the Kingston 

Frontenacs tonight against the Niagara 

IceDogs will come down to how effective 

they are on these key points in their game 

plan. 

1. FOCUS ON THE NOW Tonight’s game is what 

is commonly known as a “trap game”. Niagara 

is in a rebuilding season and is struggling on 

the road. This is a game that Kingston should 

win. On top of that, Kingston’s next game is 

against a division leading team in front of a 

sold out home crowd on Tragically Hip night. 

Sometimes in these situations teams will start 

major, as well as a game misconduct. Shortly 

after that Desrocher took a 2-minute penalty 

for kneeing. Both of these calls may have 

been questionable, but that point is irrelevant 

because a referee always has the final word. 

The Generals scored on the power play and 

worked their way back into a game. Kingston 

held on to win by a single goal. Kingston 

needs to stay out of the box to avoid giving 

teams additional chances to hang around or 

get back into games. 

3. PEDAL TO THE METAL LKingston is known 

for playing in a lot of one goal games. They 

actually have done quite well in those games. 

The problem is that sometimes they were in 

complete control of those games before the 

looking ahead to the next game a little too 

early. Its easy to understand why they may be 

thinking ahead. Paul needs to keep the kids 

focused on the team they will face tonight 

before they start to think about tomorrow 

night.. 

2. STAY OUT OF THE BOX Kingston has a 

decent penalty kill ranking for the season, 

but anytime you give a team an extra man 

it’s a dangerous time. Last week Kingston led 

4-0 over the Generals before Rasanen was 

called for boarding and received a 5-minute 

game tightened up. We saw a 4-0 lead against 

Oshawa become a one goal win, we saw a 3-0 

lead against Peterborough become a 4-3 OT 

loss, and there are other examples as well. If 

Kingston gets ahead of a team, they need to 

continue to put offensive pressure on them. 

It’s easy to play defence if your spending the 

majority of the game in the offensive zone.

y Doug Graham 

Kingston Whig-Standard 

The Kingston Frontenacs have made no secret 

of the glue that keeps them together. 

The team prides itself on a work ethic second to 

none in the Ontario Hockey League. 

Void of the big offensive stars that led the way 

for last year’s Eastern Conference championship 

team, this year’s version has nevertheless remained 

in contention in a wide-open conference 

race by its “hard work” mantra. 

“We pride ourselves on that. In practice every 

guy is working hard,” said fourth-year defenceman 

Liam Murray. 

good defensively. His gap control continues to get 

better, his puck decisions continue to get better 

coming out of our zone.” 

McFarland had no problem using Murray to 

play on the top two defensive pairings when Jacob 

Paquette was out early in the season or when 

overage defenceman Nathan Billitier has missed 

games. Otherwise, Murray is the steady veteran 

paired with a young Jakob Brahaney or Emmett 

Gordon. 

Murray, who is closing in on 200 games of service 

in the OHL — he played 116 games for the 

Windsor Spitfires over two seasons before coming 

to the Frontenacs in a trade last season — said his 

game has evolved since he came into the league 

MURRAY 

A STEADY BLUE-LINE PRESENCE 

“It’s something we do to make sure no matter 

what that every game we have that in our back 

pocket, that we are going to out-work our opponent. 

More often than not it is going to work in 

our favour.” 

The 19-year-old Murray is certainly doing his 

part. The six-foot-two, 218-pound native of Orleans 

takes a back seat to no one on the team in 

the work department. 

“For our group, just in our preparation for each 

game, he is a huge part of creating energy, making 

sure our group is ready,” said head coach Paul 

McFarland. 

“Liam’s hard to play against. He plays really 

as a 16-year-old in 2013. 

“I think it just comes with confidence. It’s my 

fourth year so confidence plays a big part. Really 

just making sure every day I do the same thing. 

Making sure my routine never changes. It’s working 

for me right now and things are going well,” 

Murray said. 

“I’m not a guy that’s going to score a lot or put 

up big numbers. I’ve got to make up for it at the 

other end in our D zone. I think that’s something 

I’ve been able to do quite well this year. I’m just 

looking to keep that up.” 

Murray scored a big goal in the Frontenacs’ 4-3 

win in Peterborough earlier this month. He has two 


goals and six points and has played in all Kingston 

games. Amongst the team’s defencemen who 

have played the most minutes–Stephen Desrocher, 

Eemeli Rasanen, Billitier and Paquette–Murray 

is the only one on the plus side in the plusminus 

statistic. 

“Obviously it’s fun to see him score in Peterborough 

but he knows every night he’s got to find 

ways to contribute in other ways, too,” McFarland 

said. 

“He takes pride in playing good defence and 

getting the pucks into our forwards hands. He 

knows how he contributes [to wins] is not necessarily 

about points.” 

Murray said that while the team obviously 

doesn’t have the offensive talent of last year’s 

club, hard work and role acceptance is helping to 

counter that. 

“We’ve got guys that are buying in, realize what 

their roles are. Really just stepping up and doing 

what is needed to get the win,” Murray said. 

“Compared to last year we have some more 

depth, more of an even-out team. I think we have 

a team that can really surprise some people and 

make a push into the playoffs.” 

The Frontenacs, who are tied for fourth in the 

Eastern Conference with the Hamilton Bulldogs, 

are certainly adept in close games. The team has 

an impressive .717 points efficiency in games decided 

by one goal. The Frontenacs have picked up 

33 out of a possible 46 points in games decided 

by one goal. 

“If you get 20 guys willing to work, willing to 

block shots, willing to win races and they all do it 

for each other I think you are going to have success 

no matter what age you are,” McFarland said. 

“Our guys have a great attitude at the rink every 

day. Practices have been as hard [working] as any 

team I have been around. Hopefully that continues 

and we just keep pushing forward to get better.”
