In front of a nearly sold-out crowd, the Windsor Spitfires showed why they’re among the top-ranked teams in the Canadian Hockey League.
Windsor welcomed in the 2025 Memorial Cup champion London Knights on Saturday for their home opener at the WFCU Centre.
The Spitfires received goals from Beksultan Makysh, Ethan Belchetz, Cole Davis and Jean-Cristoph Lemieux on route to a 4-1 win.
Between the pipes, Spitfires goalie Joey Costanzo stopped 19 of the 20 shots he faced.
A crowd of 6,432 welcomed the Spitfires back to the ice for the first time since a heartbreaking playoff loss against the Kitchener Rangers last spring.
Windsor opened their season on the road Friday night, in an 8-1 dominant win over Sarnia.
The Spitfires will stay at home for their next game on Sept. 25 against the Sudbury Wolves. Puck drop at the WFCU Centre is set for 7:05 p.m.
