Owen Sound Attack News Release
OWEN SOUND, ON - The Owen Sound Attack announced today a transaction with the Flint Firebirds.

Leenders, a 6-foot-1-inch, 179 pound, 2006 born goaltender, was traded to the Bulldogs from the Steelheads ahead of the start of the 2025-26 season. The Nanticoke, Ontario native has played in 168 games over the past four seasons registering a 0.904 save percentage facing 5172 shots on goal.
"We are thrilled to welcome Ryerson Leenders to the Owen Sound Attack organization," said Governor and President Tyler Nother. "Ryerson is one of the premier goaltenders in the OHL, and we believe his addition sends a strong message to our group that we are ready to compete. Ryerson had several opportunities for his overage season and ultimately chose Owen Sound, which speaks volumes about our organization and the direction we're heading in. Ryerson's confidence, competitiveness, and work ethic will make him an immediate impact player on the ice and a fan favourite in Owen Sound."
