Looking to watch some good Junior B Hockey close by? by Dylan Baker

The Komoka Kings hit the ice for their 2025-2026 home opener back on September 13th and came away with a win on and off the ice. On the ice, London Knights prospect Parker Graham scored his first two goals of his junior hockey career, both assisted by 16-year- old fellow Knights prospect Owen Miniotas in the first period to put the Kings ahead by a pair. Waterloo got one back before the period was out to make it 2-1 at the end of the first. There was no scoring in the second, and Waterloo got the lone goal in the third to force overtime. In the extra period, Morgan Paine followed up on his initial shot and buried it to win the game for the Kings. Quebec- born goaltender Xavier Bussiere stopped 30 of 32 Waterloo shots, including some massive saves, to help the team to victory. Off the ice, the game was sponsored by Domino’s Komoka, whose support is greatly valued. The Komoka Kilworth-Optimists put on their annual barbecue, serving happy fans as they entered the rink. DJ Stephie did a great job of keeping the vibes high both outside and inside the rink. Young Poppy, the violinist, played her instrument excellently at intermission. The game drew a great crowd of 350 passionate fans. It was also the team’s Spotlight Game, which got extra coverage from 519 Sports Online and the GOJHL, showcasing the great community the Kings get to play in. This season, the Kings feature 15 local players, including five from Middlesex Centre: Komoka’s Jacob Vandeven and Ben
