The Windsor Spitfires have climbed back into the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Top 10 rankings.

After falling out in Week 13, the Spitfires are now ranked ninth in the Week 15 list of the highest-ranked junior hockey teams in Canada.

The rise in the rankings comes as the team is on a five-game winning streak, sitting first in the OHL’s West Division and the Western Conference.

Flint, 10th in the CHL ranking, is tied with Windsor for points but has played one more game than the Spitfires.

The QMJHL’s Chicoutimi Saguenéens sit first in the ranking, followed by the Everett Silvertips and the Prince Albert Raiders, both in the Western Hockey League.

The Spitfires are back in action Thursday hosting the Erie Otters at the WFCU Centre in Windsor.

AM800 has the broadcast from the game starting with the pregame show at 6:50 p.m.
