Sam Ethier commits to Attack
The Owen Sound Attack announced Wednesday that the club has signed first round (10th overall) 2023 OHL Under-18 Priority Selection choice Sam Ethier to an OHL scholarship and development agreement.
A 17-year-old from Ottawa, Ethier appeared in 41 games for the Rockland Nationals U18 AAA team last year, recording 21 goals and 23 assists for 44 points. He skated in six games with Rockland’s CCHL Jr. A club, recording two points (1-1–2). Ethier’s draft eligible season with Rockland in 2021-22 saw him produce 14 points (6-8–14) over 29 games on the blueline. The left-shot defender stands 6-feet tall and 181Ibs.
“Sam came into camp and impressed from the get go,” said Attack GM DeGray when asked about the signing of Ethier. “He plays a solid two-way game and has a physicality to his game that makes him a great fit for our d-corps. We are looking forward to seeing how he performs in game situations in the preseason. We welcome Sam and his family to Owen Sound and into the Attack organization.”
