KINGSTON FRONTENACS GAMEDAY REPORT
DIFFERENT JERSEY, SAME OLD RIVALRY
FRONTS TO WEAR PLAID JERSEYS FOR DADS IN MATCH UP WITH PETES
The Frontenacs and Petes are certainly not
strangers to one another. Tonight’s game will
be the 304th meeting between the two East Division
rivals. The jersey Kingston wears, however,
will be a first in the series. The Frontenacs will
sport a ‘plaid for dad’ design in support of the
Canadian Cancer Society. The jersey not only
features the plaid design, but the name of every
player, coach and staff member’s father and both
grandfathers. The jerseys will be auctioned off
with proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society
after the game.
The Petes have surprised many out of the gate
this season. After missing the playoffs last year,
they drafted third overall in the 2018 OHL Priority
Selection. They used that pick to select Will Cuylle,
who did not report to camp and was traded to
the Windsor Spitfires. Without a first round pick, it
was hard to see the Petes improving in the standings
this season. They have improved, however,
with a strong start to the season. The Petes were
tied for third in the Eastern Conference entering
play this weekend. With 9 wins in 16 games to
start the season, the Petes are nearly halfway to
their total of 23 from the 2017-18 season.
The Frontenacs will be missing a key player
from their defensive group for the next few games.
Jake Murray was selected by Hockey Canada to
play for Team Red at the World U-17 Hockey
Challenge. He left earlier this week as the tournament
starts this weekend in New Brunswick.
Kingston has had a lot of success against Peterborough
in this building. In 34 games they
are 18-8-4-4. The Frontenacs have also found
most of their success on Friday nights at home
this season. They are 3-1 in those situations. This
will be just the fifth division game of the season
for Kingston. That will change significantly in November.
8 of Kingston’s 12 games this month are
against East division opponents. KF
