Kingston Frontenacs Game Day January 3, 2020

BILLY KIMMERLY
Sound on Nov 16 making 41 of 42 saves including
a 17 shot 1st period to help halt Kingston’s 12-
game losing slide. He came back with a second
consecutive winning performance in the next game
making 32 saves against East Conference contender
Peterborough Petes in a 4-3 shootout win.
In the 4-2 win on Dec 29th in Mississauga, Dugas
was nothing short of spectacular as he turned away
a career high 51 shots. Showing signs of his mental
toughness, the athletic goalie stopped an amazing 25
of 26 shots in the third period to help Kingston gain
ground on the Steelheads who are above them in the
standings.
Ryan credits former teammate Brendan Bonello
with helping him get to this point in his career and
routinely soaked up advice from his veteran teammate
while the two played together. With Bonello having
moved on, Dugas now joins Christian Propp in what
has been a solid duo helping Kingston back into a
conference playoff race. Head coach Kurtis Foster is
always impressed with his compete level and desire to
not give in when things aren’t going well and credits it
to his hard work on and off the ice in what is one of the
tougher positions to play in all of sports.
Coming into tonight’s action vs Ottawa 67’s, the
2021 NHL draft-eligible has four goals, eight assists
for 12 points placing him 16th amongst OHL rookies
and 9th in Kingston scoring and is currently on a threegame
point streak (1G,2A). At 6’0”, 182 lbs, he hasn’t
been afraid to get in the dirty areas of the ice and plays
a subtle physical game. KF
