Call it the Greg Ireland junior hockey paradox.

If you put winning first you won't win, the head coach of the Owen Sound Attack told me on the eve of the 2014-2015 schedule.

The Ontario Hockey League team's season begins Wednesday at the Harry Lumley arena at 7 p.m. when they play against the Kitchener Rangers.

Before winning, the young men on the team have to be successful with parallel processes, said Ireland. "In our personal conduct off the ice, we do the right thing every day."
