Hockey Game or Backyard BBQ?

I'm not hosting a photo contest but if I was this would be the weiner for sure. These fans embraced $1 hot dog night which everyone enjoyed.

Some of the players wanted to remember the occasion as well.

Spits win but Flint keeping pace


The Windsor Spitfires overcame a one-goal deficit to score a 3-1 over Owen Sound at home Wednesday night. Landon Jackman scored five minutes into the game to give the visitors a 1-0 lead that lasted until late in the second. That's when Cole Davis capitalized on the penalty kill. He saw an opportunity when two Flint players mishandled the puck in the neutral zone. Davis stripped the puck and was on his was untouched to tie the game.


AJ Spellacy round himself streaking down the right wing with speed before depositing a backhand move between the five hole 17 seconds into the third giving the Spits a 2-1 lead. Anthony Cristoforo scored an empty-netter to ice the game late as Windsor improved to 18-5-2-1 on the season.

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." 

John Fairley, St. Clair College

"Another great resource for local sports produced by a person that has been invested in local sports for decades."
