Owen Sound Attack News Release
The Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League is please to announce that with their 1st round selection (9th overall) in the 2009 OHL Priority Draft, they have selected defenseman Curtis Crombeen of the Lambton Jr. Sting.
During the 2008/2009 season, the 5'11, 160lb Sarnia, ON. native recorded 11 goals and 43 assists for 60 points to go along with 88 Penalty Minutes in 69 games played. When the Lambton Jr. Sting were eliminated, Crombeen joined the Jr.B Sarnia Legionnaires for their playoff run and picked up 1 goal and 4 assists in 17 games played.
Crombeen is described as a "very effective puck moving defenseman." OHL Central Scouting describes Crombeen as having a "very smooth stride, quickness and overall great mobility. At times his skating almost looks effortless. Crombeen has to be considered one of the best puck movers in this years draft. He handles the puck with confidence and composure."
Crombeen, along with his Father Pat, Mother Michelle and sisters Candace and Brooke were in Owen Sound this morning for a 9:30a.m. press conference to discuss their excitement about Curtis being a 9th overall pick to the Owen Sound Attack.
"I couldn't be happier being selected by Owen Sound. It's (Owen Sound) a lot like Sarnia so I think I will be very comfortable here " stated Curtis following a press conference this morning.
