The Guelph Platers were relocated from Guelph , Ontario to Owen Sound , Ontario in 1989 by their owners, the Holody family, and renamed the Owen Sound Platers.

In its eleven-year existence, the team only missed the playoffs in the 1990/91 and 1999/2000 seasons, but never reached the final of the J. Ross Robertson Cup . Their most successful season was the 1998/99 season, when the Owen Sound Platers after victories over Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and Guelph Storm only lost to the London Knights 1: 4 in the Conference finals .

The Holody family decided to sell the franchise in 2000. To prevent the team from relocating, a group of seven local investors joined forces to acquire the rights to the franchise and rename it Owen Sound Attack .
