Windsor Spitfires News Release


(Windsor) Centre Tom Kuhnhackl is the Windsor Spitfires Player of the Week as selected by the Spitfires coaching staff for the week ending Sunday, November 14th, 2010. In three games last week, Kuhnhackl led the team in scoring with six points in three games, scoring five goals and one assist. Kuhnhackl has earned this award for a team leading third time in four weeks and was also nominated for the current OHL Player of the Week award.

On Wednesday, Kuhnhackl scored two goals and registered one assist, including a dramatic game winning tally with seven seconds left in the contest as the Spitfires defeated the London Knights 5-4 in overtime at the WFCU Centre. Two nights later, he scored Windsor's lone goal in a 2-1 road loss to the Plymouth Whalers before finishing the week with a two-goal performance as first star of the Spitfires 4-3 road loss to the Owen Sound Attack on Saturday.

Kuhnhackl has scored at least one goal in Windsor's past four games and has recorded at least one point in seven consecutive contests. The 18 year-old native of Landshut, Germany is in his first season with Windsor and was selected by the Spitfires with the 24th overall pick in the 2010 CHL Import Draft. He was also selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the fourth round, 110th overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. In 21 games this season, he has a team leading 13 goals scored along with 6 assists for 19 points.

The two-time defending MasterCard Memorial Cup and Rogers OHL Champions will travel to London this Friday (November 19th) to take on the Knights before visiting the Greyhounds in Sault Ste. Marie the following night. Both game times are set for 7:30 pm. Each game can be seen on TVCOGECO (Cable 11 in Windsor) or fans can follow the action with Mike Miller, the voice of the Spitfires on AM800 CKLW.

Windsor will play their next home game at the WFCU Centre on Friday, November 26th against the Oshawa Generals. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m. Tickets for all Spitfire home games can be purchased from the TekSavvy.com Box Office (Gate 2 at the WFCU Centre), by calling (519) 254-5000 or online at windsorspitfires.com.
