From the Windsor Spitfires front office:

"We are in receipt of the decision by the Ontario Hockey League regarding the Windsor Spitfires Hockey Club and completely deny all accusations that have been put forward.


It is the team’s position that there is no evidence to support this decision, nor did the league follow due process or its own rules regarding procedural fairness in the making of this decision.

We will pursue all avenues of appeal regarding the decision made by the Commissioner, David Branch.

We are proud members of the Ontario Hockey League and will be vigorously defending the well-deserved and established reputation of our hockey club as an exemplary organization both on and off the ice, through the appropriate appeal process.

We will have no further comment until the appeal process is complete, in which we are confident will result in this decision being overturned."

General Manager Warren Rychel has signed defencemen Patrick Sanvido and Graeme Brown to standard OHL contracts.

Both players were drafted in the 2012 OHL Priority Selection.

Sanvido (6'5, 215 pounds) was taken in the second round, 41st overall, from the Guelph Storm Minor Midgets, with Brown (6', 175 pounds) going four picks later, 45th overall, from the Kingston Junior Frontenacs.

“We welcome both these young men to the Spitfire organization,” Rychel said. “They both have a bright future with our club.”

Both Sanvido and Brown attended Hockey Canada's Under-17 Provincial Camp in Cornwall last month.

Both will be on the ice when training camp begins on August 28th.

Sanvido and Brown will attend St. Anne High School starting next month.
