Kingston Frontenacs GameDay January 13, 2019

Nick Wong hasn’t spent a ton of time in the OHL,
but he has already become an important piece
of the Kingston Frontenacs roster. The talented,
young forward went from being a middle of the lineup
player in Oshawa to a top line regular on young
Kingston team. It’s a big change for a young player,
but one that the Kingston Frontenacs think he can
handle.
Nick is from Erin, ON, a small town northwest
a regular power play shift playing on the point with
Jakob Brahaney. He recorded his first point as a
member of the Frontenacs on their first goal of the
game scored by Ian Derungs.
Nick Wong had played one game for Kingston
entering the weekend but had already become a hot
topic amongst fans. His ability to score and make
plays was the spark plug fans were looking for to
be in the lineup for the next few seasons. Expect to
of Toronto. He is a minor hockey product of the
Mississauga Senators. He finished second on his
team in scoring with 29 points during the 2016-
17 season, just one point off the team lead held
by Anthony Tabak who was drafted by the Sudbury
Wolves.
It was the Oshawa Generals who called Nick’s
name on draft day selecting him in the second
round of the 2017 OHL Priority Selection. He
stepped into Oshawa’s lineup on opening night and
went on to record an impressive 17 goals and 26
points throughout his rookie year. He was putting
together a solid start to his second year in Oshawa
as well, scoring 5 goals and 10 points in 37 games
before the Kingston Frontenacs came calling.
On January 5th, Kingston acquired Nick Wong
and 3 draft picks from Oshawa for Brett Neumann.
Nick immediately traveled down the 401 to Kingston
and joined the Frontenacs lineup the following day
against the Barrie Colts.
Without having stepped on the ice for a practice
with his new teammates, Wong played top line
minutes in his Black and Gold debut. He even took
hear Nick Wong’s name following a Frontenacs goal
many times in the future. KF
