Windsor Acquires MacIntyre from Sault Ste. Marie
(Windsor) Windsor Spitfires Vice-President and General Manager Warren Rychel today announced that the team has acquired defenceman Michael MacIntyre from the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. MacIntyre, a 19 year-old native of Belle River, Ont. is listed at 5’11” and 198 pounds.
In exchange, the Spitfires have sent a tenth round pick in the 2013 OHL Priority Selection to the Greyhounds.
Last season, MacIntyre played 9 games for the Greyhounds and played 14 games with the Chatham Maroons Jr. B squad of the GOJHL.
“Michael will add depth to our lineup with the status of Ellis and Fowler being uncertain for us. Michael is a local boy who plays hard and has good size and speed. He will be in the lineup on Thursday for our season opener against Plymouth.” said Rychel.
The Windsor Spitfires, two-time defending MasterCard Memorial Cup and Rogers OHL Champions, will open the 2010-2011 season at the WFCU Centre this Thursday (September 23) against the Plymouth Whalers. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m., tickets for the game are still available and can be purchased at the TekSavvy.com Box Office (Gate 2 of the WFCU Centre) by phone at 1-888-969-WFCU or online at windsorspitfires.com
