Owen Sound Attack camp breaks with the Bears looking forward to a clean slate
The words “clean slate” and “fresh start” were bandied about the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre like a mantra this week. It’s likely the same at 19 other Ontario Hockey League rinks where training camps are underway, but few of those teams will have gone through as much an off-season upheaval as the Scenic City […]

There’s new and then there is brand-spanking-new, and for most of those at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre on Monday, it was the latter.
