Summary
The Windsor Spitfires are rewriting their future with a bold draft strategy, starting with a high-impact pick at 16: forward Lauchlan Whelan, a gritty, MacKinnon-style scorer with 32 goals and 54 points in 34 games. Whelan’s relentless work ethic and community spirit align perfectly with the team’s values. They also added defenseman Jake LaMontagne (6’4”) and forward Ryan Hanutke, who lit up the scoresheet at a point-per-game pace. With 15 total picks, the Spitfires are building a roster of skilled, mentally tough players — some ready now, others destined to rise — all part of a long-term vision to dominate the OHL.
