Hockey life

Frankie started playing hockey in his hometown of Vaughan, Ontario. In his first year on the ice playing Pee-Wee, Frankie scored five goals in one game. In his early years he played for the Vaughan Kings AAA Ice Hockey club of the GTHL.

Junior Hockey

Frankie was recruited by the Vaughan Vipers of the OPJHL in 2001. He played defense for the team until the end of the 2002-03 season when he was picked up by the Georgetown Raiders. With Frankie's assistance on the blue line the team finished first overall in the 2003–04 and 2004-05 seasons, winning the championship and hosting the Dudley Hewitt Cup in 2005. With the departure of team captain and fan favorite Vince Laise in 2005-06, Frankie was named team captain. That year he finished with a career high 48 points and 69 penalty minutes. [1] Unfortunately that year the team lost to the Hamilton Red Wings (now Toronto Royals) in the Western Conference Semi-Finals.

Frankie was known to visit Pita Pit after a successful home game where he would celebrate his success with the Chicken Crave.

Atlantic Hockey League

Frankie played for American International College from the 2006-07 season until the 2008-09 season.

Professional Hockey career

In 2009-10 Frankie signed his first professional contract with the Fort Wayne Komets of the IHL and CHL (defunct). In his first season with the team, Frankie helped the Komets to their second consecutive Turner Cup. Quickly becoming a fan favorite, Frankie's play had him move up to the first d-pairing. In the 2011-12 season, Frankie reached his professional career high in goals (18), assists (28), and points (46). [2] His 14 points in the 2011-12 playoffs helped the Komets defeat the Wichita Thunder 4 games to 1 for the team's third Turner cup in 4 years.

Frankie's father, Lou, was known to travel from southern Ontario, Canada to Fort Wayne, Indiana each home game to cheer on his son and the team. He was with Frankie in the post-game dressing room celebrations after the Komets lifted the Turner Cup in 2012.

Frankie retired from professional hockey after the 2011-12 season.

Coaching career

Frankie is now the assistant coach for the North York Rangers of the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL), near his hometown of Vaughan, Ontario. In 2017-18, with Frankie's coaching services, the Rangers lost to Frankie's former team, the Georgetown Raiders, in Conference Semi-Finals.

Frankie was selected to the coaching staff for the GTHL AAA All-Star Game. [3]
