WINDSOR SPITFIRES RYCHEL NAMED TO U-18 SQUAD
It's the second straight year Rychel will play in a major international tournament. Last January, he led Team Ontario to a Gold Medal at the 2011 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Winnipeg.
This time around, he heads a list of 10 OHL players that will represent Canada on the world stage.
"It's a huge honour to be named to play in this tournament," Rychel told windsorspitfires.com. "I'm excited to play and to represent Canada."
Rychel, 17, enjoyed a banner season with the Spitfires in 2011-2012, scoring 41 goals and leading the team in points with 74.
The tournament will be held April 12th to 22nd in Brno and Znojmo, Czech Republic.
Congratulations to Kerby, and best of luck to him and the rest of Team Canada in the tournament.

RYCHEL'S HAT TRICK LEADS SPITS
Kerby Rychel scored three times, leading the Spitfires to a huge, 4-1 win in London on Friday night. Jaroslav Pavelka did the rest, making 39 saves in his best performance of the year. Nick Ebert chipped in a pair of assists and Nick Czinder (14) had the other goal for Windsor (25-27-3-2).
With the game tied at 1-1 late in the second period, Rychel deftly tipped a Derek Holden wrister from the point past Michael Houser. And the Spits never looked back.
Rychel increased the lead to two, banging home a Brandon Devlin rebound just 2:09 into the third.
With the London net empty, Rychel missed on his initial shot from just past centre ice, but hustled to follow up his own rebound before chipping home his third of the game and team-leading 36th of the season.
Former Spitfire Austin Watson had the only goal for London (41-12-0-1), which lost for the Spitfires at home for the second time this season.
The win moves the Spits within two points of Saginaw for sixth place in the Western Conference and, more importantly, six up on ninth place Guelph.
The Spitfires wrap the weekend up Saturday night, when the red-hot Owen Sound Attack - winners of five straight - visit the WFCU Centre.

Jared Knight and Vlad Namestnikov had the London goals.
Jack Campbell was outstanding again in goal for the Spitfires, making 38 saves for his fourth win in as many starts this season.

RYCHEL'S PAIR BREAKS SAGINAW’S SPIRIT
Kerby Rychel's second goal of the game proved to be the winner, as the Windsor Spitfires knocked off another powerful Western Conference club on Thurday night, in a 3-2 win over Saginaw.
Alexander Khokhlachev assisted on both of Rychel's goals and Jack Campbell was outstanding again in goal, making 29 saves in the win.
The Spits fell behind 2-0 early, as John McFarland capitalized on two different turnovers.
The lead held up after 20 minutes, but Rychel got the Spits on the board on the PP at 6:34 of the second, on a nifty three-way passing play with Khokhlachev and Adrian Robertson.
The Spits tied the game in the first minute of the third period, on Brady Vail's first of the season.
That set the stage for Rychel's dramatic winner at 16:30.

Kuhnhackl, Carny Lead Spitfires to Game 2 Win
In Play on Facebook
Tom Kuhnhackl scored a pair of goals - one in the opening minute and one in the final minute - as the Spitfires grinded out a huge, 4-2 win over the Owen Sound Attack in Game Two of the Rogers Western Conference final at the WFCU Centre in Windsor on Thursday night. With the win, the Spits have now evened the series at 1-1.
Taylor Carnevale assisted on all four Windsor goals. Kerby Rychel and Zack Kassian also scored for the Spits.
Rychel's turned the tide in the second period.
The Spits were shorthanded four times in the frame, including a full two-minute, 5-on-3 that led to Jesse Blacker's go-ahead goal at 8:07.
But the home side managed to fend off a third goal, and Rychel got them even at 2-2 with a strong rush to the net, tipping home a tape-to-tape pass from Carnevale at 16:14.
Kassian's sixth of the playoffs and fourth in two games put Windsor up for good just 1:49 into the third. The big fella waltzed out of the left corner and let a harmless looking wrister go that hit a stick and eluded Scott Stajcer.
The Attack did everything they could to get back in it, peppering Campbell late with an empty net.
But Kuhnhackl's ninth of the playoffs put the win on ice. The lanky winger hit the post dead-on, before picking up his own rebound and putting a backhander home, rounding out the scoring at 4-2.
Jack Campbell was outstanding in the Windsor goal, making 33 saves for his ninth win of the playoffs.
The series now shifts back to Owen Sound for Game three on Saturday night at 7:30 pm. For game by game coverage, visit the Spits live blog at windsorspitfires.com or via twitter @GO_SPITS_GO.

Windsor Spitfires- 4, London Knights- 3
In Play on Facebook
Windsorspitfires.com reports
Plagued by bad third periods at home in recent weeks, the Spitfires got a solid finish - and the game winner - from their grind line, in a 4-3 victory over the London Knights.
Windsor's grind line of Kenny Ryan, Kerby Rychel and Jeff Brown outworked and outscored the line they were assigned to smother Thursday night.
Ryan had the game winner midway through the third period and the Spits held tight in the late-going for a huge 4-3 win over the London Knights in front of 6,394 at the WFCU Centre.
"I love playing with Kerby and Brownie," Ryan told windsorspitfires.com. "We all kind of play the same way. We're not overly-skilled guys. But we know, you match us up with anyone, and we're going to outwork you.
"That's just our mentality."
The bang-and-crash trio held London star centre Vlad Namestnikov (27G, 37A in 62 GP) off the scoresheet. While the winning goal was a thing of beauty, it was from three guys known more for their grit than their grace.
Brown started the play with some of his trademark spade work along the side boards, before hitting Rychel with a feed at the right dot. The rookie tossed one toward the net, finding Ryan in front. And Ryan put a Savardian style spin-o-rama on Michael Houser, for his 19th of the year.
"I haven't done that move since mini sticks down in my basement," Ryan joked with an ear-to-ear smile.
The win moved the Spitfires (34-21-3-3) back into fourth place in the Western Conference and, even more importantly, to within four points of Saginaw for first in the division.
Stephen Sanza had a big game for the Knights (32-25-4-1) with a pair of goals and an assist.
Ryan Ellis had a pair of assists for the Spits. The captain now has a gawdy 29 points in his last 13 games.
He will get strong consideration tomorrow for OHL Player of the Month for February.
The Spits now have a day off before facing the Whalers in Plymouth - in arguably the biggest game of the season - on Saturday night, before returning home Sunday afternoon to face the Guelph Storm for the final time this season.
