Attack sign 19-year-old defenceman Lenny Greenberg
The Owen Sound Attack announced Friday afternoon the signing of BCHL player Lenny Greenberg.
Hailing from El Segundo, California, Greenberg is excited to start with the Attack and ‘can’t wait to get started’.
“I always pictured myself playing NCAA hockey since a young age and when I got the opportunity to leave home at 15 to attend boarding school for hockey, it was all in the hopes of chasing that college dream.”
Greenberg goes on to explain that the recent NCAA rule change, playing in leagues such as the OHL is now a possible reality. “Being a California kid, I never really thought of the OHL as an option. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to play for the Attack in the best developmental junior league in the world. I’m pumped to keep working on my game within a great organization with great coaches and to keep getting stronger to prepare myself for college.”
The previous two hockey seasons, Greenberg has played for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs in Port Alberni, BC having 85 games under his belt in total. The 2005-born defenceman recorded five goals, 14 assists and 19 points in 31 games this season.
Attack General Manager, Dale DeGray says he wants to congratulate and welcome Greenberg in lieu of his signing with the Attack. “I feel fortunate at this time when we needed to bring in a defenceman, that we were able to sign and bring in a player of Lenny’s caliber. As a 19-year-old he will being a maturity level and puck moving ability we are looking for. Lenny is a NCAA Sacred Heart commitment and we feel fortunate to have him suiting up for the Attack.”
The Attack are at home to the Ottawa 67’s on Saturday at 4:00pm.
