KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY REPORT
GREYHOUNDS RACE INTO KINGSTON
DEFENDING WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPS MAKE ONLY VISIT THIS SEASON
Last season, both the Kingston Frontenacs and
Soo Greyhounds had great seasons come to an
end at the hands of the Hamilton Bulldogs. Kingston
fell in 5 games in the Eastern Conference Final
putting Hamilton in the OHL Championship Series
where they beat the Soo Greyhounds in 6 games.
Both teams come into this game with very different
rosters than they had when those playoff series
ended, but both teams return with their leading goal
scorer.
Kingston’s Jason Robertson led the Frontenacs
during the 2017-2018 season with 41 goals. He
and Brett Neumann have carried the load thus far,
in terms of goals, for Kingston this season. They
have combined for 7 of the 11 goals scored so
far. Brendan Bonello has faced a lot of rubber already,
in fact, more than any other goaltender in the
league. His .915 save % has shown that he is ready
to carry the load as a starter in the Kingston crease.
Sault Ste. Marie was welcoming of the news they
would get Morgan Frost back from the Philadelphia
Flyers. He led the Greyhounds with 42 goals and
was second in the OHL with 112 points last season.
Another returning player that was welcomed back
was goaltender Matthew Villalta from the Los Angeles
Kings. In 49 regular season games last year,
Villalta had 40 wins and a 2.58 GAA. So far this
season, he is 2-0-1 with a spectacular 1.65 GAA.
The Greyhounds have had the upper hand re-
cently in the head to head series with the Frontenacs.
They have won the last two games played in
Kingston between the two clubs. Since moving to
Leon’s Centre, the Frontenacs have a slight edge
over the Greyhounds with a 5-4-1-0 record on
home ice. Despite the Western Conference typically
having some powerhouse teams, Kingston has a
winning record against the West on home ice. They
have played 100 games against Western teams at
the Leon’s Centre and skated to a 46-41-9-4 record.
