Windbiel to the Vipers
The Spitfires have assigned 2008 birth year goalie Jake Windbiel to the LaSalle Vipers of the Greater Ontario Jr. Hockey League.
LaSalle is Windsor’s primary affiliate team.
The 6 foot 4, 223 pound Windbiel (photo, at left) was taken by Windsor in the seventh round of the 2024 Ontario Hockey League priority selections draft. The Chicago product was subsequently signed to an OHL contract by the Spitfires.
Windbiel appeared in two exhibition games for the Spitfires and allowed two goals in 50 minutes of action for a 2.38 goals against average to go with a .926 save percentage.
The Spitfires currently have 2005 birth year veteran Joey Costanzo and 2006 birth year rookie Carter Froggett as their two goalies.
