The Kingston Frontenacs finished their regular season this week with rookie forward Nolan Snyder holding a share of the team lead in goals. The 16-year-old from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, ended the 2025-26 Ontario Hockey League season with 16 goals and 33 points while playing in Kingston, Ontario.
Snyder scored his 16th goal of the year on March 6, 2026, during a 2-1 win against the Brampton Steelheads at Slush Puppie Place. That goal tied him with teammates Tomas Pobezal and Landon Wright for the most goals on the team this season. Head Coach Troy Mann said Snyder has been “fantastic” for the club, noting that while the rookie “plateaued a little bit” mid-season, he is now “taking off again” heading into the postseason.
The young forward was named the league rookie of the week in early March after recording a goal and three assists for four points in just two games. Snyder joined the team after playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite AAA program and is committed to play college hockey at Penn State University.
With the regular season now over, the team is preparing to face the Ottawa 67’s in the first round of the playoffs. This series marks the first time these two local rivals have met in the post-season since 1981. The Frontenacs finished the year in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 33 wins and 71 points.
