Game Notes:

Planes, Trains & Automobiles

10 drafted/invited 67's players have left for their respective NHL camps. Shane Prince had the least distant to travel as he heads down Highway 416 to attend the Senators camp after being selected in the second round (61st overall) by them over the summer. Meanwhile Tyler Toffoli was joined by one of the newest 67's, defenceman Michal Cajovsky on a flight to California and the Los Angeles Kings camp. Marc Zanetti and Steven Janes are in Vancouver where they will suit up for the Canucks. Ryan Martindale went to Canada's "City of Champions" for his second Edmonton Oilers camp. Tyler Graovac is attending his first Minnesota camp. Shayne Campbell went to the city of Brotherly Love in Philadelphia for his first NHL camp experience. And winger Dalton Smith at attending in his second Blue Jackets camp in Columbus after being selected in the second round (32nd overall) in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

A new "core" Player'

Mitch McIntosh will join the 67's for this Sunday's game. The 6' 175 lb centre is filling the gap left by the 67's who have left for NHL camps. 18 year old Mitch had a cup of tea with Erie last season after being drafted in the 13th round from the Huron Perth AAA Lakers in Stratford.

Maple Leaf Connections

What do Doug Gilmour, Tie Domi, Todd Gill and Curtis Joseph have in common' In addition to all playing with the Toronto Maple Leafs at one point in their careers they also all had a connection to the Kingston Frontenacs this summer. Doug Gilmour stepped down as the Head Coach of the Fronts and moved up to the press box as their new General Manager. Gilmour then replaced his previous position with former Leaf defenceman Todd Gill. With his first selection in the draft as GM he chose former Leaf tough guy Tie Domi's son, Max, with the 8th overall pick this summer. Last month Max was traded to the London Knights for a number of draft picks. Former Leaf netminder Curtis Joseph was added to the Fronts coaching staff this summer as a Goaltending Consultant.

"Big Mike"

Michal Cajovsky will miss an opportunity to "put on the foil" against his former team, the Frontenacs since he's in LA. Cajovsky, who is playing in his second OHL season spent last year with Kingston where he tallied 15 points (4g, 11a) in 62 contests. The hulking Slovakian defenceman, affectionately nicknamed "Big Mike," is already becoming a fan favourite here for his physical style of play. Cajovsky, who dressed in his first 67's game this past Monday against the Quebec Remparts, registered 11 penalty minutes in the contest. "Big Mike" will be donning #12 for the barberpoles this season.
