Home Opener Photo Gallery sponsored by CCL Custom Co

With an onslaught of changes on the ice and behind the bench for the Owen Sound Attack, the anticipation of seeing this new team on the ice for the regular season has been palpable. The new look bears kicked things off with a win on the road in Kitchener, putting a damper on the Rangers Memorial Cup celebrations. When the Rangers hit the Bayshore Saturday they were clearly motivated to return the favour in front of the hometown crowd.

These are the early days of the season but new Head Coach Keenan Reynolds will be looking for more from his lineup quickly. Attack fans have already seen why the organization pursued Ryerson Leenders and why Pierce Mbuyi continues to wear the C.

There’s no time to rest with the Attack facing London Friday night and then returning to the Bayshore to face the Memorial Cup hosts Guelph Storm on Saturday. Those two upcoming games might be a better indication of where this early season team stands with Elliott Arnett returning from Tampa Bay Lightning camp, Lucian Bernat returning from Vancouver Canucks camp and Harry Nansi returning from Toronto Maple Leafs camp, it will be the first time we see the complete lineup.

The Attack’s Number One Draft Pick, Max Fransen, has been a solid addition to the blue line in the early season.
Local fans have another great reason to flock to the Bayshore this season with the signing of Saugeen Shores Dillon Atkinson. Atkinson is the first local player to sign with the team since Kurtis MacDermid.
Attack Captain Pierce Mbuyi has scored a pair of power play goals in two games already. Here the Bayshore faithful celebrate. I can spot quite a few season ticket holders cheering in this photo.

In two games, Ryerson Leenders has shown himself to be every bit the talented OHL goalie we had heard he was. Leenders is quick, sharp and feisty. A combo Attack fans are quickly growing to love.

Jace Voortman’s work ethic has already made him a stand out first year player on this team.
