Owen Sound Attack News Release


The Owen Sound Attack made 17 selections at the 2026 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection presented by Real Canadian Superstore, over two days at Slush Puppie Place in Kingston. The Attack used their first round pick to select defensemen Max Fransen out of Upper Canada College on day 1, then opened day 2 by selecting centre Matthew Zilinski from the Mississauga Senators, Jace Voortman from the Toronto Jr Canadiens and Turner Stephenson Upper Canada College.

The Attack selected 10 forwards, five defensemen and two goalies with seven of these players coming from the GTHL, four from the OMHA, three from USA based programs and one from Hockey East Ontario.Included in the next wave of Attack prospects were three players with connections to the organization. Both the Attack's first round pick Max Fransen father Aaron and third round pick Turner Stephenson dad Dave played for the Platers/Attack during their time in the OHL, while Lucas Tout is from Kincardine and played for the Grey-Bruce Highlanders who play in the OMHA AAA loop in our area.

"We are really excited about our 2026 draft class. Our main priority was to address several positional needs, and we placed a strong emphasis on hockey IQ, compete level, and skill. We feel we accomplished that with our selections over the past two days," said Attack President and General Manager Tyler Nother.

"We want to welcome our new prospects and their families into the Attack organization. We can't wait to introduce them to our great fans and welcome them into the Owen Sound community at development camp in August."
