Frontenacs Set for 2026 CHL Import Draft

Kingston Frontenacs News Release
Kingston, ON - The Kingston Frontenacs will once again look to add international talent to the organization when the 2026 CHL Import Draft gets underway on Tuesday morning.
The Frontenacs currently hold three selections in the draft, owning picks No. 104, No. 150 and No. 165. Selections No. 104 and No. 165 were acquired from the Flint Firebirds as part of a pick swap completed prior to the 2026 OHL Priority Selection. The club has also announced that it will pass on its final selection at No. 165.
Despite holding just two active picks, the CHL Import Draft has become an important avenue for the Frontenacs to bolster their roster and build sustained success. In the last two seasons, Kingston has benefitted greatly from the contributions of several high impact import players, including Slovakian forwards Tomas Pobezal and Alex Misiak, Finnish forward Tuomas Uronen and defenceman Emil Pieniniemi.
Although just here for one season, Uronen and Pieniniemi played pivotal roles in the club's resurgence and playoff success; also representing Finland at the 2025 World Juniors and capturing a silver medal. This past season, Pobezal and Misiak have continued that tradition, bringing skill, international experience and offensive production to the black and gold. All eyes are on Slovakian defenceman Adam Goljer to see if he'll come over to Kingston this season after being selected in the 2025 CHL Import Draft. The recent second round selection of the LA Kings in the 2026 NHL Draft would be a highly touted addition to the Frontenacs blueline.
The Frontenacs have consistently found value in the import market, and with two selections to make on Tuesday, the organization will once again look to identify players capable of making an impact while continuing the club's strong history of international talent.
The 2026 CHL Import Draft begins at 11:00 a.m. ET and can be followed live on the Canadian Hockey League's digital platforms.
