A large throng in the downtown core of Owen Sound sent the Ontario Hockey League Champion Attack rolling off to the Mastercard Memorial Cup Wednesday afternoon.
After loading their gear for the Memorial Cup at Mississauga, the Attack bus stopped at the Farmer’s Market behind City Hall where a large crowd chanted and cheered and wished the Attack all the best at the 2011 Canadian Hockey League Championship.
