The Owen Sound Attack is pleased to announce that General Manager Dale DeGray has selected left winger Brody Waters with the team's 3rd pick of the 2018 OHL Priority Selection presented by Real Canadian Superstore.

A native of Heidelburg, Ontario, Waters suited up in 38 games for the Guelph Gryphons Minor Midget team and scored 18 goals to go along with 39 assists.

"Brody is another highly skilled forward that plays with a lot of grit," said DeGray of his most recent selection. "He has the ability to control play in the offensive zone in a number of different ways and brings a multi-dimensional threat to his line."

The Attack selected defenceman Nolan Seed with the 15th overall selection.

Nolan, a native of Smiths Falls, Ontario, played for the Smiths Falls Bears in 2017-18, and recorded 5 goals and 19 assists for 24 points in 37 games.

"We're ecstatic to be able to select Nolan at 15th overall," DeGray said. "He's a good sized, mobile defenceman that has tremendous hockey sense. He's a player that will add depth to our blueline and be able to come in and contribute immediately."

Nolan is described by OHL Central Scouting as an "offensive minded defenceman that is always looking to join the rush and help contribute on offence. He is one of the smoothest skating defencemen in his age group and considering he hasn't played defence for long, he has great mobility which makes him hard to beat off the rush."

The Attack has selected centreman Josh Barnes with the 24th overall selection.

A native of Cornwall, Ontario, Barnes scored 23 goals and added 23 assists in 36 games for the Cornwall Colts U18 Program.

"Josh is a very highly skilled centreman that has game changing ability," said DeGray. "He thinks the game at a very high level and can break the game open at any given moment."

OHL Central Scouting describes Josh as being a pure goal scorer that has all the required attributes to put up big numbers at the OHL level. "His greatest asset is his shot. It has velocity, accuracy, and a lightning fast release."
