The Kingston Frontenac won a battle in OT, with a Chicago Blackhawks prospect sealing the deal in overtime.
While the team continues to build an identity according to head coach Troy Mann, the Frontenac delivered a 4-3 victory over the North Bay Battalion.
The Frontenacs continue to grow and impress as they capped off a two-victory weekend, first with a 6-3 victory, Friday and followed it up with the win Sunday.
Setting the Frontenacs up for the OHL playoffs, but there's a faux pas nowadays with some cellies.

After Ludwinski scored the overtime goal, to secure the victory he grabbed a self-stick and teammates joined in, as they did what could be considered a unique celebration.

And you can tell who is not a team player by the way they skate away from their teammates to celebrate.� D Rem (@DaReMo79) March 18, 2024
haha so stupid...� LDC (@JesusShuttlewor) March 18, 2024
Though some may disagree, some chose to express outrage over the simple celebration.
In light of a well-fought victory, fans decided to decry Ludwinski instead and let him revel in a huge goal.
They should also be grateful for Ludwinski's help lifting the team into the playoffs.
But when the outrage dies, the Frontenacs will be taking on the North Bay Batallion in the 1st round of the OHL playoffs.
Ludwinski has 68 points (23G, 45A) in 58 OHL games this season.
