OHL NOTES: HOUNDS AWAY FOR THREE

The Greyhounds conclude the regular season this week with road games at Windsor, Plymouth and Sarnia, having clinched a playoff spot in the Ontario Hockey League's Western Conference.

With 61 points in 65 games, the Hounds could catch the seventh-place Owen Sound Attack, which has 64 points from 66 games.

Steve Harrison will make his debut as Hounds' head coach this week. Harrison replaces John Vanbiesbrouck, who resigned amid the Trevor Daley controversy. Daley will return to the Hounds' lineup for this week's games.

Harrison gets his shot at being a head coach -- albeit on an interim basis -- after having served the Hounds as an assistant to Paul Theriault, Craig Hartsburg and Vanbiesbrouck.

The Hounds have a record of 26-30-6-3 and will likely face the first-place Kitchener Rangers or the second-place Plymouth Whalers in the first round of the playoffs.

PERSONAL GOALS: The OHL has three 60-goal scorers with the regular season winding down. They are Corey Locke of Ottawa with 61, Matt Foy, also of the 67s, with 60, and Chad Larose of Plymouth, also with 60.

Locke, Foy and Larose also rank 1-2-3 in OHL scoring with 144, 128, and 112 points, respectively.

Interestingly, while the OHL has three 60-goal scorers, no other player had hit the 50 or even the 40-goal mark.

After Locke, Foy and Larose, Greg Chambers of the Peterborough Petes has 39.

Three players with ties to the Soo have outside shots at 40-goal seasons.

Sooite Brandon Nolan (Ted's son) of the Oshawa Generals has 36. Soo native Craig Kennedy of the Windsor Spitfires has 35, as does Greyhound centre Jeff Carter.
