from Michael Grange of the Globe and Mail,
There’s a party going on outside the Windsor Spitfires’ crisp new arena, with music and beer and chants of “Go Spits Go.”
The celebration carries on inside. The Spitfires are in the Ontario Hockey League final, on a roll that has them favoured to reach the Memorial Cup for the first time in 21 years, and for three periods of hockey at least, life is good in Windsor.
Afterward, not so much.
“People have a lot on their minds right now,” says Rick Young, whose son Harry is the Spitfires’ captain, a rugged defenceman playing major junior in his hometown. “People are worried about their jobs, about their pensions. You go to a Spitfires game or you talk about hockey, and it’s a relief.”
