Spits announcing new head coach

The Windsor Spitfires are set to announce who their new head coach will be July 2nd at the WFCU Centre. A news conference is set for 2pm.


Casey Torres took over the team on an interim basis after Jerrod Smith was let go just four months into his new role.


Windsor finished second last in the OHL with an 18-42-5-3 record. After winning the draft lottery, general manager Bill Bowler chose Ethan Belchetz with the first overall pick.



The Spits took a flier in the 9th round and landed Detroit Little Caesars 15's captain Ethan Garden in what is being considered a potential steal after he signed with the team earlier this month.


The coaching annoucement will follow the NHL Draft in Las Vegas this weekend where projections and mock drafts have captain Liam Greentree being picked in the middle of the first round. Forwards A.J Spellacy and Cole Davis are also in Nevada.

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.
