Kingston Frontenacs 2024 25 Season Thread Part Iii

This question is pretty long overdue but with under armour taking over the jersey rights next year do you guys see the Frontenacs or other ohl teams changing anything up?
 
really hoping the Front bring back the Count as the main jersey. The warmups they have now are a great start. Just add a small bit of colour.
Would love that. Only problem is they’d have to bring back the count which I don’t see happening. Pretty sure he got removed for years because kids were afraid of him. With barrack the bear they all go up and want his autograph or hug him

The challenge with the count was that he did not include anyone who was kid-friendly. You have to know how to be a mascot in order to do it. Springer just hired a kid off the street with no training.

With Riley, it took me two months with the two guys that I brought in to show them and tell them which fans to listen to and get direction. In Ottawa, I had fans who knew me and knew what we all wanted, so they would take the boys aside or tell me if something was needed. They also made sure that Riley was protected.

The kids knew Riley, and Riley knew them, so it was simple. With the count, he never really got into the real reason of being a mascot ( the kids)

As to the comparison of the bear versus the count, it is unfair to the costume to compare 7' Teddy bears and raccoons that are cuddly. Big men are not.

This may be the single most hilarious statement I've ever seen in a hockey forum hahaha.

I would love the count to come back as I loved those star trimmed jerseys but I think Barrack is here to stay, so other than a complete rebrand, I'd probably like them to go back to the spoked K as well.

Wasn’t even a rumour. I NEVER said he was going just that it’s common sense a player of that calibre would be getting some offers even if it’s just from shitty schools. Doesn’t mean they have to take it.

every good 06 in the ohl is getting schools contacting them. i think youll even see some 08s commit as well. not sure if that means they are leaving the ohl before they 'graduate', but everyone talks. ncaa schools talk to 14 year olds, why wouldnt they talk to 16, 17 and 18 year olds?

I know for a fact that Riley got a lot more interest from the girls of all ages LOL. Hell even Lance wanted to wear the costume for a period to meet more girls.

It was the one thing tht my teenage boys loved besides the money. Riley loved MLG; the one night only all those young ladies that were embibing.

even got to have fun with the ladies on the street . They asked what was in the bag and had to look once I told them it wsa teh biggest piece of tail they would ever see. LOL

The challenge with the count was that the costume was clumsy, so he really could not move quickly in it. Riley, on the other hand, was designed for a figure skater, so it was light and movable.

Just for the record Riley will be 32 on his birthday in September

Probably what would be most likely to happen

Can’t get rid of barrack the bear kids love him
 
Anyone heard anything about any Sudbury suspensions? The last OHL suspension (Franssen) was announced at 11AM of Oshawa's next game day so I'm a little surprised nothing has come out.

I thought the "before 10:00 of the 2nd period" rule might come into play for McCoy and it'd be a game less but based on the OHL website they got rid of that rule for the playoffs.

Sudbury is not facing a suspension for either Mccoy or Kearns.
Just got confirm.

That’s ridiculous McCoy isn’t getting on. Kearns I didn’t think was as bad. McCoy did a 2 handed cross check to Hays face and that isn’t worth a single game? Just because guy missed half of the game he pulled that in?? That’s ridiculous

So in other words hay, pickell or Heyes can go and cross check Musty or Villeneueve as hard as they can 2 hands in the face and as long as it’s before the midway point of the game. They should take note.

When the game gets out of hand tonight at least people will understand why.
Zero consistency in this league.

Kearns was far worse than McCoy - there are pictures floating around of direct head contact on Kearns to Hay - whereas the McCoy one it appears that Hay was able to take most of the cross check on his hand/arm rather than neck.

Didn’t see any of these pictures but I’ll take your word for it.

Weird situation regardless how neither gets suspended
 
Going to be a hard game tonight in Sudbury. Wolves know they can’t go down 3-0. First game in front of their home fans too so hopefully fronts don’t find themselves in a hole by the end of the 1st period.

However fronts have been stellar in the first periods of this series so far out scoring Sudbury 5-1 through the 2 games. Sudbury has out scored us 3-1 in the 3rd periods.

Oddly enough in the second period only 1 goal has been scored so far- by Miedema in game 1.
 
Lines look the exact same for the Fronts tonight with Schenkel starting, except for one change on the back end. Looks like we might see Moore come in for Williamson. On the lineup card, they have Williamson as the 7th D and Moore paired with McGowan.

Interesting considering how Williamson is 18.

Good for Moore though I think he’s more reliable defensively
