Jerrod Smith gets the nod

"He's a talented coach with a bright future." Windsor Spitfires GM Bill Bowler on Jerrod Smith hiring.

Many fans got their wish. Jerrod Smith has been named the new head coach of the Windsor Spitfires. "So happy and so grateful that I put my work in and to see it coming to fruition I just couldn't be happier."


Smith takes over for Marc Savard who left prior to the NHL draft in June to join the Calgary Flames as an assistant coach. Andy Delmore remains with the team as an assistant coach.


Smith said his first order of business was to enjoy the day. He joined the team in 2011 as a video coach and is very familiar with many people in the organization. "I love this team. I love this organization. My wife's from Tecumseh. This is home for me now." Smith said. "I think I have great relationships with everybody. It's a comforting feeling to come to work everyday."

Smith says he looks forward to connecting with fans and feels this year's team will be competitive.


Training camp is set to open August 31st.

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.
