Completing their 5th tournament for the year this weekend at the Greater Kingston Minor Hockey Association’s annual “Limestone City Cup”, the Jr. Frontenacs placed first in their pool by going 3-1 in round robin play, which set them up for a semi-final game against the Ottawa Sting. The Jr. Frontenacs went on to win the semi-finals with a score of 2-1, advancing them to the finals to play the Toronto Red Wings. The Jr. Frontenacs prevailed in the finals with a score of 7-4. This championship win brings the season total for the Jr. Frontenacs to 3 tournament championships: Hamilton International, Quinte Cup and the Limestone City Cup.

In the Kanata Tournament we lost in the semi-finals. The team also competed in the Silver Stick Finals in Port Huron, Michigan. Although the team’s record of 2 losses and 2 ties, doesn’t show how hard the boys played. The team showed great effort and hard work; the highlight of the tournament came with the boys tying the number one ranked team in North America, the St. Louis Jr. Blues.

With the Jr. Frontenacs competing in 5 tournaments this season their overall record for tournament play is 18-7-2 with 3 championships.

With only 8 games remaining in their regular season, the Jr. Fronts are sitting in First place in the East Division of the Eastern Triple A League. Their overall regular season record sits at 21-6-1. The team is looking forward to a long successful playoff run in the OMHA playdowns.
