Spits high on Ty Bergeron
Ty Bergeron will be crossing over from Michigan to Ontario to play for the Windsor Spitfires effective the ’26-27 season. A 2009 birth year forward, Bergeron was picked by the Spitfires in the third round of the 2025 Ontario Hockey League priority selections draft from the cross-border Detroit HoneyBaked program.
A Flat Rock, Michigan product, the 6 foot 2, 185 pound centre recently signed an OHL contact with the Spitfires.
Bergeron has opted to play with Windsor and the OHL after spending the ’25-26 season with the Muskegon Lumberjacks of the United States Hockey League.
Bergeron skated in 71 games for Muskegon as a 16 year old rookie in ’25-26 and totalled eight goals, 16 assists, 24 points as one of the youngest players in the USHL.
The Spitfires drafted Bergeron after a spectacular ’24-25 season with Detroit HoneyBaked in which he tallied 62 goals, 78 assists, 140 points in 90 games.
Spitfires general manager Billy Bowler is high on Bergeron.
“Ty is a complete player with high energy and compete,” relayed Bowler. “He plays a pro-style game, which is what we are about. This is a real big get for our program. Ty has a ton of upside.”
Bergeron is represented by top notch agent — and former National Hockey League goalie — Eddie Mio of Octane Sports. A Windsor native who has represented legends of the game such as Joe Thornton, the ageless Mio played in more than 200 NHL games — when it was only a 21 team league — while stopping pucks for the Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings.
