Franklin Richards interviewed Kingston Frontenacs rookie goaltender Royden Smith after the opening weekend of the OHL season. 

Smith had an unforgettable start to his OHL career! 

After being thrown into the fire for the first two games of the season, the 17-year-old netminder stopped 44 shots in a spectacular debut victory against Peterborough—marking the most saves by a Frontenacs goalie in a debut in 30 years—before backing it up with a thrilling 26-save overtime win against the Ottawa 67's. 

In this exclusive interview, "Smitty" talks about handling the pressure of his first major junior starts, earning OHL Rookie of the Week honors right out of the gate, and what it takes to guard the crease for the Fronts this season.
