you suddenly realize, you’re talking to a Hall of Famer.” Verbeek agreed with Duchesne and pointed out the added bonus of having a Stanley Cup winning legend as a boss. “Doug’s been through everything we’ve been through times 100 and he gives us a lot of advice,” said Verbeek. “During practices he has spent time with me showing me how to calm down and slow the game down. He showed me where he scored most of his goals from. Those little tips around the net have helped me out a lot.” As the two look forward to the remainder of the season, they are united in the goal to bring some playoff success to a franchise that has had more than its share of heartbreak. “I feel the same as the fans feel and I want the same thing that the fans want,” said Duchesne. “I was in the stands watching the Frontenacs growing up and I was cheering them on. I am definitely putting some pressure on myself to help us make some noise in the playoffs for the fans. We’ve got some of the best fans in the OHL and it would be nice if we could give them a show and why not in my last year?” Duchesne clearly accepts his role as one of three overage players on the team and as he looks over at the younger Verbeek, it’s obvious Duchesne’s words carry the weight of leadership. With the team that we have, why can’t we be the ones to break the curse,” he asked to an empty arena. “I think that’d be pretty cool.” Cool indeed, and cooler still; to do it as hometown boys.
