OHL Recognizes Spitfires' Goalie

Windsor Spitfires Goalie Mike DiPietro is the recipient of the OHL's F.W. "Dinty" Moore Trophy for the 2015-16 season.

The award is given to the rookie with the best goals against average in the league.

DiPietro's mark was 2.45 this season, to go along with his overall record of 16-8-1-1 and a save percentage of .912.

The 16-year-old becomes the first Spitfires goalie to ever win the trophy, and the youngest rookie to earn the honour since 16-year-old Alex Nedeljkovic did it with the Plymouth Whalers back in 2012-13 with a GAA of 2.28.
