Windsor Spitfires News Release


(Windsor) The Windsor Spitfires are proud to announce that they have unveiled a new look for the team's website. The new look adds a wealth of features for fans together with a modern, more engaging design.

"The new look website is part of our ongoing efforts to get closer to our fans," said Peter Dobrich, Governor and co-owner of the team. "The new design is just the beginning. We'll continue to add features and content to the site to make the total fan experience as rich and rewarding as it can be."

The new features of the site include:

- easier access to team and league stats

- a new "Fan Zone" section

- a "Kids Zone" with games and other interactive content for young fans

- expanded player profiles and team history

- highlights from last season's Memorial Cup win

- a redesigned photo gallery.

Interactive content in the Fan Zone includes a Trivia Game, downloadable wallpapers, downloadable schedule, a downloadable browser toolbar for one-click access to Spitfires information, and links to social media sites Twitter and Facebook.

The site also incorporates a completely redesigned online store. Accessible through the main website or by visiting www.spitsgear.com, the new online store makes online shopping for Spitfires merchandise an easier and more pleasant experience.

The team plans to add micro polls, additional interactive content, monthly contests and other new features to the website in the coming months.

Also built into the redesigned website are new advertising banners and other promotional areas.

"Part of our design goal was to provide better advertising opportunities for our business partners and league sponsors", said Steve Horne, Director of Business Operations for the team. "The new site will give them more opportunities to promote their products and services to our fans in an effective yet unobtrusive way".

Windsorspitfires.com and the online store were designed by Hargreaves Stewart, the team's marketing agency.
