2013-14 OHL Preview: Frontenacs could be class of rebuilding East Division

[HF Article]

 

This is part three of a four-part series previewing the 2013-14 Ontario Hockey League season. We continue in the OHL’s Eastern Conference with the East Division.



Belleville Bulls

Last season, 44-16-5-3, 96 points 1st in the East, 1st in the Eastern Conference, lost to the Barrie Colts in Eastern Conference finals.

Fronts are the real deal. Very fast, very skilled. Petes are much better then they showed last night. That was just simply embarrassing. Super rookie Lorentz had a 3 point debut though.. One and only bright spot.
