Spits Johnston chosen by Dallas

Wyatt Johnston moved up and was taken in the first round of the NHL Draft Friday night by the Dallas Stars. The Windsor Spitfires forward was ranked as a second or third round pick but increased his stock by helping team Canada win gold at the U18 World Championships earlier this year. He had 2 goals and 2 assists in seven games.

In his rookie season with the Spits he put up 12 goals and 18 assists in 53 games.


Here's what Elite Prospects has to say about the 6'1, 176 lbs center before the draft.


"Johnston runs the right routes in the offensive zone, supporting teammates by occupying pockets of space and by arriving in scoring spots and the net at the right time to bang in rebounds. He slides passes through defensive layers, holds onto the puck to wait for lanes to open, or creatively aim shots on the goalie's pads to have them pinball into the open slot for trailing attackers,"

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.
