The Ontario Hockey League’s youngest stars are coming to the League’s youngest arena in February.
The Windsor Spitfires will play host to the 2009 OHL All Star Classic from February 2nd to 4th at the brand new WFCU Centre, but the game is only part of what will be an exciting weekend at the new rink.
The Spitfires will be hosting several events around the All Star Classic, including a skills competition between the representatives of the Eastern and Western Conference, a half-time concert and an OHL Alumni game featuring former NHL stars and Spitfires alumni on February 3rd.
The event will also feature a party zone at the WFCU Centre for two days, a special All Star Luncheon on February 4th at the St. Clair Centre for the Arts, followed by a Skate with the Spits later that evening.
It’s been a long time since Windsor hosted the OHL’s mid-season classic, 30 years in fact, and there’s no denying the WFCU Centre was a huge draw for the OHL Board of Governors to select the site for 2009.
