Ottawa 67s defenceman and former Cumberland Barons product Cody Ceci is on his way to Owen Sound after being traded to the Attack on Monday.

The 19-year-old Orléans resident was traded to the Attack along with Steven Janes for Jacob Middleton and Joseph Blandisi.

The Ottawa Senators first round draft pick says he was surprised when he was first informed about the deal, but quickly warmed up to the idea of playing for a playoff contender.

“It was tough for me at first but I realized this was a good opportunity for me," says Ceci. "(The Senators) thought this would be best for my develop.m.ent and I agree with them. They wanted to see me have a playoff run in my last year in junior rather than see me staying on a rebuilding team. They wanted to see me on a contender.”

The 67s playoff hopes died after a miserable December, while the Attack are currently the third seed in the Western Conference, 18 points back of the forst place London Knights.

Ceci's last goal for the 67s will likely end up being one of his most memorable. He scored the shootout winner against Brampton on Sunday.
