[edit] History
The Owen Sound OHL franchise was born when the Holody family moved the Guelph Platers to the city for the 1989-90 OHL season. The team kept the name of Owen Sound Platers.
The Owen Sound Attack were born in the late summer of the year 2000 as a community-based OHL franchise. When the Holody Family decided to sell the Owen Sound Platers buyers were sought from any city.
Several local Owen Sound businesspeople realized that an out-of-town buyer would mean losing the team to relocation. The most mentioned former OHL city was Cornwall, Ontario. This local business group banded together to purchase the team. After a bidding war and a summer-long legal battle with another suitor, the team remained in Owen Sound.
The ownership group elected for a name change and came up with the more modern sounding "Owen Sound Attack". The 2004-2005 season was the best regular season in the OHL history of Owen Sound. General Manager Mike Futa was recognized by the OHL for his work in building the team with the OHL Executive of the Year award. The club also played host to the OHL All-Star Classic in 2005.
[edit] Coaches
The current coach of the Attack, Mike Stothers, is a former defenceman and an alumni of the OHA Kingston Canadians and NHL Philadelphia Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs. He has previously been an assistant coach with the AHL Hershey Bears, Philadelphia Phantoms, and NHL Philadelphia Flyers.

[edit] Players
Andrew Brunette won the 1992-93 Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy as the top scorer in the OHL with 62 Goals, 100 Assists and 162 Points. He also tied for the Canadian Hockey League's scoring lead. Brunette was selected by the Washington Capitals 174th overall in the 7th round of 1993 NHL Entry Draft.
Jamie Storr was the 1993-94 OHL Goaltender of the Year . Storr was the starting goalie for back-to-back World Junior Hockey Championship Gold medals in 1993 and 1994. In the 1994 NHL Entry Draft he became what was then the highest-drafted goaltender overall in NHL history, by the Los Angeles Kings, 7th overall.
Dan Snyder, a former captain of the Owen Sound Platers, had his number 14 retired by the Owen Sound Attack in 2003. He is remembered in Owen Sound for his leadership on and off the ice. Snyder was twice voted his team's Humanitarian of the Year. Snyder died from injuries suffered in a vehicular accident in 2003 after just beginning his NHL career with the Atlanta Thrashers, and the Ontario Hockey League renamed its Humanitarian of the Year award posthumously in his honour.
