ATTACK TAKE ON COLTS AND WOLVES IN SEASON AND HOME OPENER
The Owen Sound Attack look to continue on their pre-season success with their season and home opener’s this weekend.
Heading to Barrie for a 7:30pm puck drop on Thursday night, Owen Sound will face the Colts in their first regular season match up of the 2018-19 hockey season.
The Colts won three of their five pre-season games, but were unable to match up against the Attack earlier this month, losing 6-4 to Owen Sound on September 3rd pre-season action.
Thursdays match up will be both Barrie’s Home and Season Opener. The Colts recently signed a handful of rookies, but are currently led by centreman Ryan Suzuki and Jason Willms, who scored a combined 9 points in the pre-season.
The Attack will head to the Barrie Molson Centre without Sean Durzi & Nick Suzuki. Picking up the slack will be Kevin Hancock, Aidan Dudas, Trenton Bourque and many of the recently signed rookies. In recent roster changes, overager Chase Campbell has been released from the team.
