In junior hockey his status became the spark for a national (Canadian) dispute. He was transferred from Ontario to the Montreal Junior Canadiens by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1952-53 season. The Ontario Hockey Association objected and the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association (QAHA) refused to budge. The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) then suspended the QAHA. Attwell remained in Montreal and played for the Junior Canadiens and the Montreal Junior Royals in 1953-54. Attwell played three seasons for the American Hockey League's Buffalo Bisons and retired in 1970.
