The Windsor Spitfires open the regular season tonight when they host the Saginaw Spirit at the WFCU Centre.
AM800 will have all the action starting with the pregame show at 6:30pm.
There are several new faces in the Spits lineup and at least a familiar name, in Igor Larionov Jr, the son of the former Red Wing.
Larionov Junior has inked a contract with the Spits after playing the the Quebec League for the Remparts last season.
He tells AM800 Sports, "I'm extremely proud of who my father is, and what he accomplished, but also I want to create my own accomplishments and my own career."
Ironically Larionov was a 14th round pick of the Saginaw Spirit in 2014, the team Windsor opens against tonight.
