He had a hand in all three goals scoring two and assisting on another as the 73's took game 1 of the Stobbs division final. "He's been playing very very good lately," said head coach Danny Anger. "He's finally healthy. He had a rough season with some injuries. We have that old Jackson back."


Essex goaltender Jacob Knowles made 35 saves to earn his seventh win against one loss in these playoffs. "Every good coach and every good team has a really good goalie and our goalie stood on his head last night. He gave us an opportunity to win." said Anger of Knowles who has lost only twice since joining the 73's in late December.


The loss was Lakeshore's second at home in these playoffs. The Canadiens dropped game 5 to Wheatley last week. "Nobody likes to lose at home especially when you have home ice advantage, give it right back." said Lakeshore head coach Anthony Iaquita. "The main thing is I thought we competed pretty hard. We're happy with our effort. We just gotta find a way to finish some of these chances."


The Canadiens look to tie the best-of-seven final Friday in Essex, "We gotta make sure we're ready to play and obviously game 2 is definitely important to us."

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

​

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

​​​​

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

​

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
