The Kingston Frontenacs: Battling Through Injuries and Climbing the Eastern Conference

The Frontenacs just wrapped up a grueling three-game weekend, facing injuries and tough competition. They managed to snag four out of six points, which keeps them in the thick of the Eastern Conference race. But at what cost? Two more players, Will Bishop and Matthew Soto, are now sidelined with upper body injuries. Bishop’s injury was particularly concerning, involving a fight and a violent collision with the ice. This adds to the already missing Joey Willis. How will these mounting injuries impact the Frontenacs playoff push?

Goaltender Charlie Schenkel seems to have found his groove recently, putting up three strong performances in a row. Is this a sign of things to come, or just a temporary hot streak? Can he provide the consistency needed to carry the team through the playoffs?

Gage Heyes stepped up big time with a hat trick against Owen Sound, demonstrating the depth and resilience of this team. With so many key players injured, who else will need to rise to the occasion for Kingston to maintain their momentum?

The Frontenacs penalty troubles continued this weekend, racking up 18 minors in three games. This is a significant shift for a team that started the season as the least penalized in the league. Is this a sign of increasing frustration, a change in officiating, or something else entirely? What impact will this have on their playoff hopes?

While the Frontenacs find themselves tied for the East Division lead, they’re still chasing the Barrie Colts for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Is this the year they finally break through and claim the conference title? Or will injuries and penalties derail their aspirations? Let's hear your thoughts! What are your predictions for the Frontenacs in the upcoming weeks?
