Spits Head Out On Short Road Trip

The Windsor Spitfires are back on the road again this weekend to take on the Guelph Storm and Owen Sound Attack.

They are coming off a huge 5-1 win over the London Knights Tuesday night.

Coach Rocky Thompson says the Guelph Storm should put up a good fight.

"Guelph has played us extremely hard this year, they are a very aggressive fore checking team so we're going to have to be ready early cause they are going to try to jump us," says Thompson. "We want to try and make them play defense so we need to manage the puck, get them into the offensive zone."

Thompson says they should have both Mikhail Sergachev and Julius Nattinen back in the lineup by tonight's game. They were both competing in the World Juniors Hockey Championships.

Currently the Spitfires are ranked number five in the country.

They take on the Guelph Storm tonight in Guelph and then the Owen Sound Attack on Saturday night in Owen Sound.
