Spitfires Taking On Russia

The Windsor Spitfires will be well represented on Team OHL during the league's leg of the CHL Canada-Russia Series.

Forward's Logan Brown and Christiano DiGiacinto are on the roster, and it'll be the entire Spits coaching staff behind the bench for the November 16th game at the WFCU Centre.

Brown's excited to play on such a stage.

"It's my draft year and this is a big thing for exposure," he says. "Hopefully every (NHL) team will be there and it's one of my goals to make the World Juniors this year, so this is the first step I think."

Other star players expected to represent Canada in the Windsor-hosted game include NHL prospects Mitch Marner, Lawson Crouse and Michael Dal Colle.

Brown and DiGiacinto have combined for 20 points through the Spitfires' first ten games of the OHL season.
