Goure runner-up for OHL’s Overage Player of the Year trophy

Owen Sound Attack forward Deni Goure, a Grande Pointe resident, finished as runner-up in award voting for the OHL’s Leo Lalonde Memorial Trophy, which is awarded annually to the top Overage Player of the Year.

Kitchener Rangers forward Matthew Sop was the 2023-24 recipient of the Leo Lalonde Memorial Trophy awarded the Overage Player of the Year as voted by OHL general managers.

A 21-year-old from Kitchener, Sop scored 43 goals and 90 points over 67 games in his third season.

Goure scored 36 goals and had 96 points in 68 games in his overage season. In four seasons with Owen Sound, he played 259 games, scoring 102 goals and adding 149 assists for 251 points.

Drafted 10th overall by the Attack in the 2019 OHL draft from the Chatham-Kent Cyclones, over his career Goure has registered several multi-point games, but none more impressive than this past December when he registered his first career hat trick along with a five-assist night setting a new Owen Sound Attack single game record for most points in a game with eight.
