Windsor hockey fans, get ready for a blast from the past. The Spitfires are bringing back one of the most iconic jerseys in team history — the classic “tombstone.” It’s been nearly 20 years since this look last hit the ice, worn by Spitfire greats like Ed Jovanovski, Steve Ott, Mickey Renaud, Bill Bowler and more during a memorable era of Windsor hockey.
