Spitfires win two on the road

Through 21 games the Windsor Spitfires had four wins. They released Jerrod Smith as head coach and promoted Casey Torres to bench boss before heading on a three-game eastern swing.

General Manager Bill Bowler said time would tell if the move was right. So far it's looking favourable. The Spits return home winning two of three following Sunday afternoon's 5-3 over Ottawa. Liam Greentree scored twice and assisted on two others to earn first star.


Windsor opened the trip with a 5-2 win over Peterborough, the best team in the Eastern Conference. They dropped a 6-4 decision Friday before rebounding Sunday. The wins didn't elevate the Spits out of the OHL's cellar but they now share last place in the league with Niagara with 13 points but the IceDogs have two games in hand.



Windsor hits the road two more games starting Thursday night in Barrie. They'll be in Guelph Friday night. The Spits then return to the WFCU Centre on the 7th to take on the Colts in the first of a four-game homestand.

aboutus

Powerplay Windsor was born during a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass sparked a memory—being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan early in my career. That moment brought to mind the upcoming Windsor Lancers football camp and the many fall sports that would go uncovered due to cuts in legacy media sports coverage.

Recognizing this gap, and with the support of my loving wife and family, I launched Powerplay Sports as a passion project.

Founded locally and operated locally, we blend traditional sports reporting with modern digital storytelling.

From high school athletics and post secondary programs to junior hockey and grassroots clubs, we shine the spotlight on the people who make our sports community vibrant.

Our video channel brings you highlights, interviews and behind the scenes access. We are courtside, rinkside and on the field capturing moments that matter. See you soon.

"We celebrate all of the athletes within Windsor-Essex and their achievements reflected on Powerplay Sports."
