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

Spitfires score five but Owen Sound Attack score more.
Evan Mathias / In Play! Magazine
A slow start and finish cost the Windsor Spitfires two points as they dropped a 7-5 decision to the Owen Sound Attack in front of 4,291 at the WFCU Centre Thursday.
It took Windsor (21-25-1-1) nearly six minutes to register a shot on goal. Owen Sound (21-16-2-7) had seven shots and a goal from Holden Cook by that time.
“We’re spending way too much time in our own end,” said Spitfires head coach Bob Boughner. “There were so many shifts that were long shifts, that we looked like we got caught in our end.”
