OHL Speculation
Ontario Hockey League sources relate former Owen Sound Plater Todd Miller will be the new Head Coach in Oshawa and former Kingston coach Kurtis Foster will be his Assistant Coach.
The source also expects Zach Stortini to be named as the new Head Coach at Sudbury
Two names that are connected to the vacant position with the Owen Sound Attack through the weekend are Eric Wellwood and Greg Walters.
The belief is that Walters who most recently coached the Oshawa Generals is the front runner.
Over 2 seasons in Oshawa, Walters won 71 games. He also spent three seasons prior to that with the Georgetown Raiders organization which had a solid connection to the Attack and various prospects.
