Kingston will be led into Saturday's contest by Lawson Crouse, currently ranked as the 4th-best skater in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft while projected first overall pick Connor McDavid will power the Otters offence on Sunday.
The two forwards were also the only underage players who suited up for Canada at the recent World Juniors, with McDavid leading the tournament in scoring having posted three goals and eight assists in seven games. Crouse contributed one goal and two assists over the course of the competition.

Owen Sound - The City of Owen Sound and the Municipality of Meaford are pleased to announce an improvement in the minor sport registration process for Meaford residents.
Starting in 2015, Meaford residents will no longer have to wait for a refund for the non-resident user fee when registering their children for minor sports in the City of Owen Sound. Instead, residents of Meaford will only pay 10% of the non-resident user fee out of pocket – that's $10/child/sport for field/floor sports and $16.70/child/ice sport. The City of Owen Sound will track the registrations then send an invoice to the Municipality of Meaford for the remaining 90% that is subsidized at the end of the registration period.
For families with two or three children registering for one or more sports, this means lower up-front costs and avoiding the financial stress of waiting for a refund. Owen Sound and Meaford expect that this streamlined process will be a benefit to both residents and minor sport groups.
The Owen Sound Attack are set to kick off their 2nd Eastern Conference road trip of the year when they travel to Peterborough for a Thursday, Jan. 15 match up.Thursday's 7:05 pm puck drop is the 1st of three games in four nights, with the Attack playing in Ottawa on Friday before travelling to Mississauga for a game on Sunday, Jan. 18.

Marie Greyhounds at the trade deadline.
