Windsor AAA Zone

TORONTO, ON — The Windsor Jr. Spitfires U16 and U18 AAA teams posted strong showings at the prestigious Toronto Titans Tournament, advancing to quarterfinal play and showcasing disciplined, team-first hockey throughout the weekend.

With junior teams now largely set for the 2025/26 season, we’re proud to celebrate our graduates who have earned spots across the CCHL (Jr A), NOJHL (Jr A), GOJHL (Jr B), and PJHL (Jr C). Their commitment, growth, and consistency are a testament to the work they’ve put in—and to the standard of our U18 AAA program.

Windsor Jr. Spitfires are proud to announce a partnership with Mynd in Motion by Rob (Bobby) Trittler, MSW, RSW—registered social worker, therapist, and mental conditioning coach. Rob will support our players with the mental side of the game: strengthening self-confidence, managing performance anxiety, regulating emotions, and setting meaningful goals on and off the ice. With a background in hockey as both a player and coach, he understands the unique pressures athletes face.

Windsor Jr. Spitfires alumnus Charlie Paquette has been named Captain of the Guelph Storm for 2025–26 — the 34th captain in franchise history. Paquette, a 2005-born winger in his fifth OHL season, has recorded 71G–58A—129 PTS in 258 career games after being drafted 31st overall (2021 OHL Priority Selection). Congratulations, Charlie — we’re proud to see you lead.

Sylvain Lessard or “Sly” as he was known by many of his hockey friends and teammates passed away tragically in the fall of 2023 in a car accident. Sly was only 20 years old. His passing affected many former players from our Jr Spitfires organization as he was a cherished teammate and member of the local Jr hockey community having played for the Leamington Flyers, Wheatly Omstead Sharks, and the Lakeshore Canadiens.
