The Kingston Frontenacs are losing their head coach.

Paul McFarland, who is also the team’s general manager, will be departing the team for a new position as an assistant coach with the NHL’s expansion franchise, the Seattle Kracken.

This was actually McFarland’s second stint with the Fronts, however, he never had the chance to coach this time around because he was hired during the COVID-19 league shutdown.
