Owen Sound Attack News Release

The Owen Sound Attack wrapped up the 2018 OHL Priority Selection presented by Real Canadian Superstore with four picks in the 11th through 15th rounds.

With the 215th selection in the draft, Owen Sound travelled down Highway 26 to select defenceman Brett Pearce of the Barrie Jr. Colts. The 5'11, 162 lbs blueliner scored four times in and added 13 assists in 32 games over the course of the 2017-18 season.

In the 12th round, the Attack added the biggest player in the draft, selecting 6'7, 201 lbs left winger Aaron Davidson of the Cambridge Hawks to their prospect pool. In 31 games during the 2017-18 Alliance season, Davidson was a physical force for the Hawks, also contributing four goals and five assists.

Owen Sound then picked Nolan Underwood at 255 in the 13th round with their 2nd last selection of the day. A left wing for the Brantford 99ers, Underwood suited up in 31 games and scored six goals with 19 helpers over the season.

The Attack then concluded the draft by selecting another left winger, Mason Cowan of the Whitby WIldcats. Cowan scored 13 goals and 18 assists in the 2017-18 season, where he appeared in 35 games.

Attack General Manager Dale DeGray said of his 15 selections "we were able to add a fantastic cross section of players in the 2018 draft and we couldn't be happier to add to our coffers."
