Rychel and Boughner had early growing pains trying to decide on players but Nemisz proved he was the right pick. With his first pick as the new GM, sixth overall in 2006, Rychel selected the Courtice, ON-native. That’s where 6-foot-4, 200-pound forward Nemisz came into play. When Rychel bought the club (along with Bob Boughner and Pete Dobrich) in 2006, one of his first goals was to create his own offensive, gritty roster. Sit back as we take a look at four players from the 2010 Memorial Cup roster, plus one player who became a bit of a legend around town. However, while some made the NHL, others took different paths that you simply didn’t expect. General manager Warren Rychel put the finishing touches on a brilliant roster that was the season-long favourites to win the championship. In part one, we talked about their 2008-09 roster, which featured stars like Taylor Hall, Adam Henrique, and Ryan Ellis. This is the second part of our “Where Are They Now?” series featuring the Spitfires’ Memorial Cup rosters. When a club borderlines on a dynasty, it makes you wonder – what happened to the players after they left? When the Windsor Spitfires won their first Memorial Cup in 2009, it was an unexpected thrill, and it made their 2010 championship that much sweeter. When you capture back-to-back championships, there’s something special about the rosters involved.
