Forwards Josh Ho-Sang and Ryan Verbeek have inked OHL hockey and scholarship packages.

Ho-Sang was Windsor's first-round selection, fifth overall, in last month's draft. The 5'11", 160-pound speedster is coming off an outstanding season with the Toronto Marlboros, scoring 31 goals and adding 48 assists.

Verbeek was selected in the third round, 47th overall. Last season with the Lambton Jr Sting, the 6', 185-pound winger put up 20 goals and 10 assists with 49 penalty minutes.

Rychel says both players are big pieces of the club's future.

"We're very proud to welcome two quality, young players like Josh and Ryan to the Spitfires family," Rychel told windsorspitfires.com. "I expect to see great things from both of these players and I'm excited to have them join our hockey club."
