The "Frontenacs" name has been long associated with hockey in the Kingston area. Four other teams have been known as the Frontenacs.
The city had a team in the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) Jr. league in the 1910s. There was also an Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) Sr. League team from the 1910s to 1940s, followed by an entry in the Ontario Veteran's Hockey League (OVHL) during World War II. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including From 1959 to 1963 there was also a team in the Eastern Professional Hockey League (EPHL). For information about the EPHL beginning play in 2008 please see Eastern Professional Hockey League (2008 The Eastern Professional Hockey League (EPHL was a
The origin of the name "Frontenacs" comes from Louis de Buade de Frontenac, governor of New France who established Fort Frontenac on the site of present-day Kingston. Louis de Buade Comte de Frontenac et de Palluau ( May 12, 1622 &ndash November 28, 1698) was a French courtier and Governor Fort Frontenac was a French Trading post and military fort built in 1673 in what is now Kingston Ontario, Canada. The area surrounding Kingston is Frontenac County. Frontenac County, as defined by Statistics Canada is a Census division of the Canadian province of Ontario.
The Kingston Canadians arrival in the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) for the 1973–74 season, was a result of the Montreal Junior Canadiens switch to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) in 1972. The Montreal Junior Canadiens were a Junior ice hockey team in the Quebec Junior Hockey League from 1933 to 1961 and the Ontario Hockey Association The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (French la Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec, abbreviated QMJHL in English LHJMQ in French is During the summer of 1972, the QMJHL had threatened a lawsuit against the OHA to force the Junior Canadiens to return to the Quebec-based league. To solve the problem, the OHA granted the Junior Canadiens franchise a "one-year suspension" of operations, while team ownership transferred the team and players into the QMJHL, renaming themselves the Montreal Bleu Blanc Rouge in the process. The Montreal Bleu Blanc Rouge ( Red White Blue in English) were a Junior ice hockey team in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League from 1972 to 1975
The OHA then reactivated the suspended franchise after a one year hiatus, under new ownership and with new players, calling the team the Kingston Canadians. The new Kingston team was essentially an expansion franchise promoted from the OHA's Tier II league, that had only common name to share with the old Junior Canadiens. The Tier II Frontenacs originated in the Eastern Junior B Hockey League and date back to at least the early 1960s. However, in some OHA histories (such as the annual Media Guide) the Kingston team is still shown as the legitimate successors of the Junior Canadiens' legacy.
Following a change in ownership the club was renamed Kingston Raiders for one season in 1988–89. The Kingston Raiders were a short-lived junior Ice hockey team in the Ontario Hockey League. Due to ownership problems, the team was sold again following that season.
In 1989 the new ownership, including Wren Blair and Bob Attersley, renamed the team Kingston Frontenacs after the EPHL team of which they had both been members. The uniforms and logos were revived from the old franchise. The city embraced and welcolmed the new ownership.
Wren Blair and Bob Attersley were both hockey legends in their own right. In 1997 Wren Blair would be honoured with the Bill Long Award for distinguished service in the OHL.
The club was sold to the Springer family of Kingston in June 1998, with Doug Springer becoming the Owner and Governor.
The Frontenacs franchise is in quest of its first J. Ross Robertson Cup and first Memorial Cup. The J Ross Robertson Cup is an Ice hockey trophy awarded annually to the winner of the Ontario Hockey League playoff championship The Memorial Cup is the championship trophy of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL The 1992–93 OHL season was the closest the team has come to either, where they lost the conference final to Peterborough. The 1992–93 OHL season was the 13th season of the Ontario Hockey League. Had the Frontenacs won the conference that year, they would have also qualified for the Memorial Cup playing in the finals versus the host S. S. Marie Greyhounds.
The lone division title won by the Frontenacs was in the 1994–95 season where the team won the OHL East Division, represented by the Leyden Trophy. The 1994–95 OHL season was the 15th season of the Ontario Hockey League. The Leyden Trophy was first presented in 1975–76 to the winners of the Ontario Hockey League 's Leyden Division The Kingston franchise has the second-longest championship drought in the OHL (second to the Sudbury Wolves by one year), and the fourth-longest in the Canadian Hockey League.
