History
In 1989 the Holodys moved the Guelph Platers to Owen Sound, Ontario, retaining the name "Platers". The city of Owen Sound would be a strong base for junior hockey with disproportionately high support from the smallest city in the OHL. The city had a two time Memorial Cup champion in the Owen Sound Greys in 1924 & 1927, and the Owen Sound Mercurys were a long-standing OHA Senior Hockey team and 1954 Allan Cup Champions. The Memorial Cup is the championship trophy of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL The Owen Sound Greys are a Canadian junior Ice hockey team based in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. The Owen Sound Mercurys are a defunct Canadian senior Ice hockey team The Allan Cup is the trophy awarded to the national senior amateur men’s Ice hockey champions of Canada.
The best year for the Platers was the 1998-99 season. Owen Sound had a mostly veteran team that achieved their best regular finish in the club's history, and also played into the third round of the playoffs.
Despite many mediocre seasons, support for the team has remained strong. When the Holodys decided to sell the team in 2000, several local Owen Sound businesspeople banded together to purchase the team. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. Owen Sound fans realized that losing the team would be a crisis for the city. 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 "Owen Sound Attack".
