Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

Great question. I checked the Chicago Mission and Detroit little caesars and thier rosters are posted without Windbiel on either team as of right now. And both already have 2 goalies listed

Those would have been my 2 guesses, but I have to believe Bowler had a plan that Windbiel and his parents bought into when he was signed. I can't believe this is a surprise to anyone and they already know the landing spot. As is Bowler's method of operation, nothing has been announced to the public.

Been told that forward Kyler Morgan has been sent to his Jr B team of last year.

I was just doing some digging, looks like he's listed with the Cambridge Redhawks. I don't know how permanent that is, but...

I see 14 F, 8 D, 2 G listed on the Spits site. Safe to assume this is the roster? Or must there be additional cuts?

I’m not sure on the exact number, especially considering that Greentree, Spellacy, Protas will be gone tomorrow.

From what I understand, they may keep a few more guys around until NHL players return. Kind of a "better to have them in case" thing.

The article in the WS and take it for what it's worth. There was no mention of Windbiel. There was mention of Hicks/Lemieux. I am not saying it's a lock but there' s no reason to throw Windbiel into the fire when you still have Costanzo and you want to see if Froggett can play at the OHL level. Windbiel at this time should be 4th or 5th in pecking order. If Costanzo struggles you probably wouldn't promote either Newlove or Windbiel. You would invest in a goalie outside the organization first. If Froggett struggles then maybe Newlove but that is probably fluid.

i remember when someone was promoting Lavigne as if he was some rock stud mean physiacl guy, i told him he was wrong and he acted like i was the worst human in the world for telling him he was wrong, well here we are.

hes tall, he takes lots of hooking and slashing penalties, but hes not the next chris tanev. thats why hes not on the roster. i dont get why they signed him asap last year
