Owen Sound Attack

Attack and Greyhounds to Renew Rivalry

March 18, 2014 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Owen Sound Attack News Release


The Owen Sound Attack will square off against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs for the second year in a row. This was made official on Monday night when the Greyhounds dropped a 4-3 overtime decision to the Saginaw Spirit.

These two teams are no strangers to one another. Last year they competed in a heated contest that saw the Attack pull out a 4 games to 2 series win over the Greyhounds with each game being a hard hitting contest and this year will be no different. It is a role reversal, however; with the Greyhounds playing the favorite this year and the Attack the underdogs. The Greyhounds were one of the Western Conference powerhouses, capturing the West Division title on way to a 95 point season. Owen Sound and Sault Ste. Marie met just twice during the regular season with the Greyhounds winning both match-ups by scores of 3-0 (In SSM) and 4-2 (In OS).

Tickets for Round one vs. Sault Ste. Marie are available at the Attack Box Office, online at www.attackhockey.com or by calling (519) 371-7452.
