OHL via Jr. B GOJHL
London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League are a good example of allowing several of their key players to develop in the Greater Ontario Jr. Hockey League.
Firebirds and Spitfires
One has had an Ontario Hockey League presence since 1975. The other set up shop in the OHL 40 years later, in 2015. They are the long settled Spitfires of Windsor and the fledgling Firebirds of Flint — and the rivalry is growing.
Ex Spitfires with Spirit
After back to back finishes atop the Western Conference of the Ontario Hockey League, the Spitfires missed the playoffs in 2023-2024. But two key players who started the season in Windsor are now competing for the Memorial Cup with the Saginaw Spirit.
Spitfires from the Sault
Sault Ste. Marie and Windsor have a timeless association. The number of people from Sault Ste. Marie who left home over the decades and centuries to attend post secondary school at either the University of Windsor or St. Clair College is literally in the thousands. And as far as the Ontario Hockey League goes, the register of players from the Sault who have suited up for Windsor since the Spitfires first became members of the OHL in 1975 is a rather extensive and monumental one.
Spits sign another plum

Jean-Christoph Lemieux is signed and sealed to the Spitfires. Windsor took the 6 foot, 173 pound forward in the second round, 22nd overall, of the 2024 Ontario Hockey League priority selections draft.
Spitfires have stock in net
The Spitfires are building their assets at the goalie position. Windsor — which missed the Ontario Hockey League playoffs in 2023-2024 after back to back first place finishes atop the Western Conference — has assembled a plethora of puck stoppers to choose from as part of their present and future flight plan.
Oriented at Spitfires camp
It served as an introduction for the new kids. Goalie Cam Ingram was among a group of 2024 draft picks who got a taste of how it feels to be a part of the Spitfires program.
Spitfires to the Lancers
Goalie Max Donoso is moving from one high level of hockey to another without leaving his hometown of Windsor.
Windsor is in my blood
I have had an association to Windsor that dates back to my early to mid 1960s childhood days of playing road hockey in the alleyway between Howard and Lillian near Erie St. E. …[read more]
