Owen Sound Attack News Release


The Owen Sound Attack come into this two game weekend on a high note after taking down the Western Conference leading Kitchener Rangers Wednesday night in a comeback overtime win. This weekend will not get any easier for the Attack as they head to Brantford to face the Bulldogs who are tied for the league and Eastern Conference lead on Friday before coming back home to Owen Sound for a second of back to back games where they will host their divisional rivals, the Guelph Storm, both at 7pm.

TD BeAT TYSON DOWNS ASSOCIATION CHARITY GAME

Saturday nights game against the Storm will be the Attack's final charity night of the season, this time in support of TD BeAT, Tyson Downs Association. The team will be wearing specially designed jerseys that will honour Tyson who passed away at a young age due to a genetic heart problem. Full details of the event can be found.

HEAD TO HEAD:

This will be the second time the Attack have gone up against the Bulldogs this season with the Bulldogs taking the first game 2-1 in Owen Sound back on December 28th. Last season the Attack and Bulldogs split the season series at one win a piece so the Attack will be looking for a win Friday, and to do the same this year. This is the fifth meeting between the Attack and the Storm this season, with another three still to come, all of them being in March. The season series this year is tied at two wins each with the visiting team having won all previous match ups (10-7 & 6-3 for the Attack in Guelph and 6-3 & 4-1 for the Storm in Owen Sound). The two teams split the season series in 2024-25 with four wins a piece and over the last five years these two divisional rivals have been pretty even head-to-head with the Attack posting a 19-15-4-2 record and Storm a 21-15-3-1 record.

SCOUTING THE ATTACK (19-23-1-3)

The Attack will count on goaltenders Trenten Bennett (7 W, 4.10 GAA and 0.893 SAV%) and Matthew Koprowski (2 W, 4.46 GAA and 0.867 SAV%) to stop the push from the number 1 team in scoring Bulldogs and number 11 Storm this weekend. The Attack look to continued success with their third ranked power play, which is clicking at a 25.5% rate and for a reemergence of their relentless penalty killing from the start of the season which has only allowed 3 goals on their last 16 penalty kills.
