The Kingston Frontenacs added to their talent pool ahead of this Friday's OHL draft.

The team selected three players in the three-round under-18 draft on Monday.

Their first selection (10th overall) was defenseman Presley Kelly-Wright from the Ottawa Myers Automotive U18 AAA. He recorded 38 points (14 goals, 24 assists) in 29 games this past season.

The Frontenacs took Elgin Middlesex Canucks U18 AAA goaltender Owen Bienstman with their second selection (30th overall). He went 20-7 with a 1.83 GAA in 29 games.  

Cole Coughlin was the final pick (47th overall), a defenseman from Belleville who had 6 goals and 8 assists in 32 games with North Shore Whitcaps U18 AAA.

The under-18 draft is held each year to highlight players that were overlooked in the OHL draft when they were 15 years old.

This year's live OHL draft goes this Friday and Saturday at Slush Puppie Place in Kingston.
