Flyers looking for 2nd sweep

The Leamington Flyers head into Saturday night's game against the Buffalo Jr. Sabres looking for their second sweep of the OJHL playoffs. They beat the Niagara Falls Canucks 4-0 in the first round and have a commanding 3-0 over Buffalo in round two.


"We just gotta stay humble," Head coach Dale Mitchell told Powerplay Sports. "Stay with it. We've had different guys stepping up in different games. We know it's not going to be easy going up there and win."

After getting beat up 6-1 Tuesday at home and trailing 2-0 in game three Thursday in Leamington, the Jr. Sabres showed some fight coming back to tie the game in the second. After falling behind 4-2, Buffalo made another push cutting the deficit to one in the third.


The Flyers were able to limit chances and shut down the game to finally take the game 5-2 with an open netter.


"It's stuff like this that builds adversity in playoffs." Mitchell noted.


"There a good team over there," said captain Adrian Bosev who scored a pair of goals in game 3. "Just gotta keep the foot on the gas, clean it up and go from there."


The winner of this series will advance to the West Conference final and either Milton or 2-time defending league champ Collingwood. Heading into Friday night, the Menace lead the series 2-1.

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
