The Kingston Frontenacs have announced a pair of appointments that will shape how the franchise approaches video analysis and equipment management for the upcoming 2026‑27 season.
A strategic reshuffle in Kingston
Colin Johnson joins the club as Coordinator of Hockey Operations & Video Coach, a role he will fill after stints with the Soo Greyhounds, the St. Louis Blues and the Prince George Cougars, where he honed his skills in analytics and scouting.
Brad Francis, a Certified Athletic Therapist who has spent nearly a decade with the Frontenacs in various capacities, has been elevated to Assistant Equipment Manager, bringing his extensive experience from the Brampton Steelheads and NHL development camps to the role.
The team's schedule kicks off on September 17 with a road test against the Peterborough Petes, followed by a home opener against the Ottawa 67’s on September 20, giving fans an early glimpse of the new-look roster.
Both hires underscore the Frontenacs' commitment to blending analytical insight with hands‑on expertise as they look to compete more fiercely within the league and develop talent for future prospects.
