Frontenac is “Flying” Back To The Provincial Hockey Championships

Mar 15, 2023

Continuing a decade of hockey excellence, once again Frontenac Minor Hockey is sending one of its teams to the OMHA Provincial Championship.  

On Wednesday March 8, the U13 Rep Team capped off a great season with a big playoff win against Napanee.  With this win the Flyers secured a berth into the 8-team provincial tourney.  

The start of the game was more than a bit rough for the Flyers, as Napanee scored four early goals.  A quick time out, and some calm reassuring words from Coach Troy Stubinski set the tone for a remarkable comeback.  

By the start of the 3rd period, the Flyers had regained the lead and never looked back, winning the game 6-4.  It was a gutsy and resilient effort by these 11- and 12-year-old players.

This was just the latest victory for this team.  They currently have a 29 Win and 5 Loss record, were finalists in the international Silver Stick, and won the Cornwall Winterfest Tourney.   Coach Stubinski gives all the credit to the positive attitude and hard-working mentality of the team.  

“These are remarkable young athletes who have worked incredibly hard for the past 6 months.  They put in the time and effort every single week. I couldn’t be prouder”.

Stubinski also acknowledged the work of Frontenac Minor Hockey.  

“Our community is incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated group of volunteers organizing community hockey.  Their long-term focus on development has been instrumental for all of our team’s success”.

The team will be travelling to Barrie over the Easter Weekend to play the best teams in the province.  But first they are travelling to Niagara Falls this weekend to play in the Niagara Warrior Tournament.
