The 2018-19 Ontario Hockey League season was a chance for Aidan Dudas to take a step forward with the Owen Sound Attack.

"It’s tougher and it was a tough adjustment because last year, I’d be playing against a team’s second defence pairing or their second or third line and now it’s every time [on the ice] I’m going against their top ‘D’ pairing," Dudas said. "It’s tough but it’s a good challenge for me and my linemates.

"It was an adjustment for sure," Letang added. "All of a sudden, teams single in on him. Now he’s playing against top pairing defencemen who are going to be a little harder on him. He’s playing against the other teams’ top lines at times. He’s so competitive and wants to be that guy so bad that he’s got to realize sometimes that he might come out of a game and only created one or two scoring chances. But if he’s coming out of that game even or above, he’s still done a job for us.
