Owen Sound Attack News Release


The final game of 2019 took place tonight between two teams hoping to snap losing streaks. The Attack had dropped two in a row coming into tonight's contest, and the Colts losers of five consecutive games.

Lucas Chiodo, the Colts leading scorer, took advantage of an early turnover and put Barrie on the board just 42 seconds in, snapping a long goalless drought for the team. Teams took turn with the man advantage as the first period progressed, but Owen Sound was unable to convert. Barrie took advantage of theirs late in the first, and Ryan Suzuki scored his 10th of the season to take a 2-0 lead into the intermission.

The 2nd period began with some huge saves by MacLean to keep it a one goal game. After the Attack went to a McDougall Energy penalty kill Durzi was able to break free and the Leafs prospect made no mistake and slotted it home shorthanded for his 3rd of the season to make it a one goal game. Ryan Suzuki took advantage of the spotlight with his older brother in British Columbia representing Team Canada and scored his second of the game to restore the Barrie lead to two with seven minutes remaining in the period. Owen Sound had chances to reduce the lead in the waning seconds of the 2nd but couldn't crack Jet Greaves and they headed to the final frame down two.

The final regulation period of 2018 began and Owen Sound had the majority of chances to start, but Jake Tortora took advantage of an Owen Sound turnover to extend the lead to three with 13 minutes of hockey to go in 2018. Jet Greaves turned up his game in the 3rd period and despite multiple chances by the Attack, no pucks were able to get past him into the Barrie net and Hawerchuk took advantage of an odd man rush to ice the game at 5-1.

Your Hatten Home Building Centre Hardest Working Player of the game was Maksim Sushko.

The Three Stars of the evening were swept by Barrie, with 1st star honours going to Lucas Chiodo for his 1 goal, 2 assist game. Ryan Suzuki got 2nd star with 2 goals, and Jet Greaves claimed 3rd star by making 33 of 34 saves in the game.

The Owen Sound Attack left Barrie excited for the calendar to turn to 2019, with three engagements this week to start fresh. The Attack will be in action next on Wednesday, January 2nd at the Bayshore hosting the Guelph Storm with a 7PM puck drop.
