Wright introduced

World Junior's captain Shane Wright was introduced during a media conference late Tuesday afternoon at the WFCU Centre. The newest member of the Windsor Spitfires practiced with the team before being handed his #51 jersey by general manager Bill Bowler and head coach Marc Savard. "It was the right fit. It was the right situation to go into." said the 19-year old. "Really felt like it was the place where I could go and help win a championship."



In the span of seven days Bowler orchestrated four deals that brought in five players (Wright, Aiden Castle, Rodwin Dionicio, Brett Harrison and Jacob Holmes) costing three roster players (Bronson Ride, Ethan Miedema and Chris O'Flaherty) and twenty draft picks, including two conditional selections. When asked if the moves make his team the one to beat in the Western Conference, Bowler said he likes their chances moving forward. "We feel comfortable we have a chance to compete."

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."

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