Our players and staff look forward the opportunity to compete in front of Canadian fans again, and we know this team will embrace the opportunity of wearing the Maple Leaf as we continue to build towards our goal of winning gold.”

Guzda followed-up with his sixth career OHL shutout on Sunday in North Bay, making 26 saves as the Colts skated to a 1-0 triumph on Evan Vierling’s third period game winner. Guzda earned first star honours in both outings, helping the Colts climb back into the Central Division conversation with their fourth and fifth straight wins.
A 20-year-old native of Knoxville, Tenn., Guzda owns the League’s second-highest save percentage of .917 through 16 games this season, playing to an overall record of 10-5-0-1 with a 2.82 goals-against average and one shutout between Barrie and Owen Sound. The overage talent has been steady, going 5-1-0-0 with a 2.25 goals-against average and .920 save percentage since joining the Colts on Nov. 19th. Originally Owen Sound’s second round (31st overall) pick in the 2017 OHL Priority Selection, Guzda has played to a career mark of 68-50-10-7 with a 3.29 goals-against average and .892 save percentage with six shutouts in 146 regular season games.

The 18-year old winger scored a pair of goals and added an assist in Friday night’s contest to help Owen Sound complete a comeback after trailing 4-1 late in the second period. Burroughs then had another goal and assist during Saturday night’s game as he set-up Cedrick Guindon late in the third for the Attack to retake the lead after trailing by a goal.
Owen Sound will hope that Burroughs’ play over the weekend is a sign of things to come, as the second year winger now sits with 20 points through 25 games, and has helped the Attack stay right in the thick of things in the competitive Western Conference.
