The Owen Sound Attack have parted ways with two members of their coaching staff.
The Ontario Hockey League team announced Tuesday morning Head Coach Scott Wray and Assistant Coach Reagan O’Grady have been relieved of their duties.
A statement from the team says the change comes because the organization believes a new voice is needed to guide the group and support its development.
“As we begin a new chapter in Attack hockey, we believe it was the appropriate time to make this change,” says Attack Governor and President Tyler Nother. “We sincerely appreciate everything Scott and Reagan have done for the Attack and wish them nothing but success moving forward.”
There is no word from the team about the status of the lone holdover on the Attack coaching staff from last season, Brandon Shaw.
The Attack also announced they will unveil the team’s new head coach tomorrow (May 20) and then host a public town hall in the Shore Room at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre at 1 p.m.
Wray, 46, departs the Attack after two seasons as the team’s bench boss. Owen Sound went 53-67-8-8 during his tenure. The 2024-25 season was a rebuild from the get-go, and the Attack managed to sneak into a playoff spot before being swept by eventual Memorial Cup champions London Knights in the first round.
The 2025-26 campaign started hot, as the Attack jumped out to a 9-2 start. But they lost their footing and then subtracted from the roster, with notable departures in Michael Dec, Carter George and David Bedkowski. The playoffs were four games to forget, as the Attack were outscored 35-3 and swiftly swept by the Flint Firebirds.
Wray expressed gratitude to the Attack organization for giving him an opportunity.
“My wife and I really enjoyed Owen Sound and being part of the community. I would like to thank my players for coming to work every day. I really enjoyed working with them on a daily basis,” he says. “I also would like to thank my assistants Reagan O’Grady and Brandon Shaw, and support staff: Andy Brown, Trevor Castonguay, Andy Playter, Jack Murray, Darren Clock and Ryan Manley. They are the best in the business.”
O’Grady also joined the Attack ahead of the 2024-25 OHL season. The assistant coaching job for the 27-year-old former player — for the Kingston Frontenacs, Sudbury Wolves, Mississauga Steelheads and Saginaw Spirit — was his first in the OHL.
He offered thanks to many in the Attack organization for the opportunity to get his start as an assistant coach.
“I want to first and foremost thank the past ownership group, and I want to thank Dale DeGray for giving me my start coaching in the OHL. Thank you to all our staff led by Scott Wray for allowing me to grow over the last two years,” O’Grady says. “And thanks to the fans and community. It was great to watch the Bayshore rocking on a Saturday night. Your passion for the game allows it to be a great atmosphere to play and coach in. Owen Sound will always hold a special place in my heart.”
