Toledo Mercurys

Sawchuck defeated by Winnipegers.

The Toledo Mercurys defeated the Windsor Spitfires and Terry Sawchuk in this 1947-48 battle. It was all Winnipegers, as Barney O’Connell, Don Thurston, and Jake Kernahan helped Toledo upend the rookie sensation Sawchuk 3-0 in their first IHL game. It was Terry's first loss as a Spitfire before he moved up the ranks to Omaha and eventually Detroit in 1950.
This was The Toledo Mercury's inaugural game but was played in Windsor due to construction delays in Toledo for its million-dollar arena being built.

All three of the Toledo scorers were neighbors of Terry's in Winnipeg.
