For every “Spitfire” Mustang sold, the Ford Performance Centre makes a donation of R75,000 towards the restoration of the stricken Spitfire. During a handover event at the Zwartkops airbase on February 12, new owners collected their limited-edition Mustangs, thus contributing to the overall restoration programme.

TSN Toronto Reporter Mark Masters reports on the Maple Leafs, who practiced at the Ford Performance Centre on Friday before travelling to Edmonton to face the Oilers Saturday night in the first game of their three-game set.
Auston Matthews missed Friday s practice due to a nagging injury. He s not ruled out for tomorrow, said head coach Sheldon Keefe. We ll have to see how he continues to progress.
The 23-year-old centre has played through the pain most of the season, but aggravated the hand/wrist issue in the second period of Wednesday s game against the Calgary Flames. Matthews didn t take faceoffs down the stretch and didn t score, but still managed to produce two assists while logging more than 22 minutes.

O Canada as to whether his goal streak will continue.
If Matthews scores the game’s first goal again Monday against the Calgary Flames, it will extend his league lead to six in that category and will be his 19th goal in as many games. And, according to NHL Stats, he’ll be the first player ever to open five straight contests with a goal.
