The Windsor Spitfires are remembering their "captain forever."
It was 13-years ago today, team captain Mickey Renaud passed away suddenly from a rare heart condition.
On this day, the team usually has a game scheduled to remember and honour Renaud but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the postponement of the OHL season, the Spitfires have shifted to a virtual memorial.
General Manager and Head Coach Bill Bowler says a video tribute was shared on the team's website along with its social media pages Thursday morning at 9:18am.
"There's no question, as long as I'm here and the Windsor Spitfires are here, unless someone tells us differently, Mickey's our captain forever," says Bowler.
