Driven through West Lorne a bunch of times and never realized it was there! I've definitely used the Onroute (their rest areas) there on ON-401 a few.

Seems more appropriate for a Leafs - Red Wings game but still very cool. Love those small Canadian barns.

I've driven past it on the 401 going between Buffalo and Detroit (I think the last time was going to a Spits game in Windsor), didn't know they had a rink.

Me neither but it seems like every small town in Canada does.

We love the WCFU Centre. Definitely went to a bunch of Spitfires games before Covid. Great atmosphere and crowd.

Here is the rest of the preseason schedule.

5 games in 7 nights. Guess we'll see a lot of the Amerks roster late in September.

The real question is what the TV schedule will look like.

Seems like too many games but that's just me.

They should be able to get Levi and UPL two full games each assuming they are both on the roster at that time, maybe one full game for Comrie and the other two as splits with Comrie sharing the net with each one in a game.
