Kingston Frontenacs News Release


Kingston- Fans of the Kingston Frontenacs will need to do a double-take when the team takes to the ice of Leon's Centre for the game vs. Peterborough this Friday for their annual Hockey Fights Cancer game. In support of the Canadian Cancer Society and presented by Leon's Kingston, the Frontenacs will be sporting a different type of black and gold jersey, with a plaid pattern to draw attention to cancers that affect dads. This is the eighth consecutive season the Frontenacs have partnered with the Canadian Cancer Society to raise funds and awareness, and this year's cause hits close to home for the entire club. The limited-edition jerseys- which will be auctioned off after the game with the net proceeds to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society's programs, include the first names of the dads of the players, staff, management, and owners of the club.

"We have a proud tradition of supporting cancer causes and raising awareness for different types of cancers and focusing on dads and the cancers they face really hits close to home," said Justin Chenier, Executive Director of Business Operations with the Kingston Frontenacs. "The obvious cancer for men is prostate cancer, and in Canada 1 in 7 men will develop prostate cancer in his lifetime. "
