Spits milestones

by Mitchell Brandner

Windsor Spitfires rookie defenceman Graeme Brown scored the first goal of his Ontario Hockey League career Feb. 21.

In his eleventh game, Brown scored the go-ahead goal in the third period against the Erie Otters.

Brown added an assist to top off a night he’ll never forget.

“Definitely the biggest goal of my career so far,” said Brown. “I haven’t had one of importance like that before.”

Spits overage forwards Alex Aleardi and Emerson Clark both reached milestones of their own in the win against Erie. Aleardi’s game-winner was the hundredth goal of his OHL career, while Clark reached the hundred penalty minute mark for the season.

The Spitfires snapped a five-game losing streak with the win against the Otters.
