WINDSOR SPITFIRES AGREE TO TERMS WITH TOP PICK VILARDI

Kingston native brings size and skill at centre



General Manager Warren Rychel has announced the club has reached an agreement on a standard OHL player agreement and education package with forward Gabriel Vilardi.



The 15-year-old native of Kingston was the club's first round pick, 2nd overall, in the 2015 OHL Priority Selection back in April.



"We're extremely pleased to get Gabe in the fold," Rychel said. "He has a bright future as a Spitfire and he'll be a special player for years to come."



Vilardi says he's looking to make an immediate impact.



"I think I have high expectations," he said. "I want to help the team do well this year. Make the playoffs. Hopefully do well in the playoffs. I can see myself putting up a lot of points in this league in the next two years. Hopefully get drafted." - Windsor Spitfires, News, Schedule and Seating
