The Stars signed one of the Knights picks, the dman MacKinnon from Elgin Middlesex, so he will be one to watch.

The Stars signed one of the Knights picks, the dman MacKinnon from Elgin Middlesex, so he will be one to watch. They also signed one of our U18 picks Kolby Poulin.

Sorry, meant to edit the previous post by saying they signed Kolby Poulin as well.

mentioned in the audio clip that there was an OHL player there

Since he said an OHL player and not a London Knight player we can assume the player was from Kitchener. Those people have a history of coming to London and destroying homes. Just sayin'.

 

[MatthewsMoustache]

have heard from a source in the Nationals circle that Logan Mailloux has signed with them and will be used as a call up for the Knights.

Connor Federkow also played with the St. Thomas Stars tonight

If anyone is looking for tickets for single games this season let me know! I have about 10 games I'm looking to sell tickets for.

I see Federkow and MacKinnon on St Thomas roster. Game sheet shows 12 PIM for Connor so he is continuing to play with a bit of an edge. Don't see Mailloux on Nationals roster yet but it would be great place to gain experience and still practice with Knights.

The London Knights are pleased to announce that they have acquired goaltender Mathias Onuska from the Kingston Frontenacs. The Frontenacs will receive London’s 3rd round selection in the 2020 OHL Priority Selection and a conditional 4th round selection in the 2023 OHL Priority Selection. Onuska was originally selected in the 7th round, 133rdoverall, by Kingston in 2018.
“We are pleased to welcome Mathias to our organization. We were impressed with his play as a 16-year old starting goalie in Waterloo last season, especially in a league such as the GOJHL. We look forward to seeing how he does at camp in the coming days and as we progress into the regular season,” said General Manager Mark Hunter regarding the trade.
Onuska played last season for the Waterloo Siskins of the GOJHL. He played in 28 regular season games, finishing with a goals against average of 2.69 and a save percentage of .915. He also appeared in another 27 playoff games as the Siskins won the Sutherland Cup as the top team at the Junior B level in Ontario last season.
“Mathias is an athletic goalie that is strong throughout any situation. At his age he has already played some big games and we hope to see his skill and experience carry over to the next level,” continued Hunter.

Mathias Onuska

Goaltender

Born: May 30, 2002 – Waterloo, ON

Matt will almost certainly win that backup spot. got to watch him in the Sutherland Cup final. he was an absolute rock in there and never seemed phased by the pressure

 

[kidconko]

Wonder why he didn't sign in Kingston

Hes the reason they won imo

 

[Maxxim1]

Mathias Onuska probably didn't report to Kingston last season to preserve his NCAA eligibility.
He could have rightfully thought that Kingston may remain an OHL bottom feeder for the next few years.
He is probably very happy to come to an OHL contender, 9,000 fans in the stands and NHL scouts at every game. And a lot closer to home with an education package to boot.

 

[zman77]

Matt Onuska
Born: Waterloo, Ont., 6' 3" 176 lbs.
Perhaps Onuska wants to be closer to home.

Well, good to hear he is a smart kid and grasps the obvious nicely.

I think this a great pickup for the Knights. Our number one has a history of working well with “goalmates”and should be able to help him mature nicely for us down the road. Well done Mark and fairly affordable.

 

[aresknights]

I like this acquisition.

Player with upside at his position. And probably ahead of the kids (who would report) in the system at the same position.

 

[Fastpace]

We've just got a little better in net, I like it, just hope we don't go too crazy on signing up cards this early again.

Looking forward to camp. Of particular interest for me will be the competition to earn a spot on D. Watching and comparing Winslow, Montgomery, Steklov, Roger, Keane, Mailloux (a year younger), etc...will be fun!
Also some battles of interest for 4th line duties. McGurn, McCue, Rolofs...
In goal, Brochu vs Onuska (sp?) for backup.

Much different roster this season Fastpace, I think Formenton, Bouchard and even Boqvist (late assignment I believe?) were perhaps unknowns with a real chance at sticking in the NHL. I don’t think this team has quite as many, if any players in this situation? Plus the Hunters and the management team are not slow learners so they will have received an “education” from last year’s moves? I didn’t want to call them mistakes but in reality a few of the moves probably were just that?

Keep us posted Nelli, just like you always do. I hate in someways for training camp to begin as it indicates we are already in the “dog days” of summer BUT this in when Championship chases begin.
