Windsor Spitfires News Release
Spitfires General Manager Warren Rychel was on-hand on behalf of the Windsor Spitfires Foundation at Central Park Athletics this morning, for the official launch of the new F.J. Brennan Centre of Excellence and Innovation's Hockey Canada Skills Academy.
A combined project of the Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board and Hockey Canada, the academy is a new, open-boundary initiative designed to encourage students who wish to focus on academic success while pursuing their passion for hockey.
In support of the academy's launch, the Windsor Spitfires Foundation has pledged $6,000 over the next three years, to help offset annual student registration costs.
"This is a great new program that will benefit student athletes in our community," Rychel said. "For years, the foundation has supported local hockey programs. We're happy to help build a foundation for this one and look forward to helping the academy succeed for years to come."
