ETIQUETTE HOCKEY
While we score goals on the ice, our goal off the ice is to make sure all of #GensNation has the best game experience possible! We’ve made a list of some important reminders for all fans to keep in mind so that everyone’s night out is a special one.
1. WAIT FOR THE WHISTLE TO ENTER AND EXIT SEATING AREA
A lot can happen in a split second of hockey action – and we don’t want anyone to miss anything. Fans who move from their seat during play can block the view of an entire section of fans. Please wait until a whistle blows to make any move to and from your seats.
QUICK TIP - There will always be extended stoppages following the first whistle after the 14:00 & 6:00 minute marks of a period (unless there is an icing, goal, or the start of a power play – just listen for the buzzer!)
2. BE MINDFUL OF THOSE AROUND YOU
Trust us, we know the games will have you at the edge of your seat, but if you lean too far forward, you’ll block the view of those around you. There isn’t a bad seat in the building, so sit back and enjoy the game!
3. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PUCK
Things move quickly at our games, including flying sticks and pucks. Keep your eye on the puck at all times to avoid any potential injuries!
4. NON-SMOKING FACILITY
The Tribute Communities Centre is a non-smoking, no re-entry facility. Smoking of any kind, including e-cigarettes, on TCC property, is prohibited.
5. HOCKEY IS FOR EVERYONE
We don’t expect everyone to be best friends with the Petes’ fans – some things just don’t mix. But, we do think it’s pretty cool they’re coming to our building to enjoy the same great game we love. Please be aware of those sitting around you, including children and let the play on the ice do the talking. Abusive and inappropriate language will NOT be tolerated.
6. HAVE FUN
Get loud, cheer, and let your favourite team on the ice know you’re behind them – Afterall, hockey is the best sport out there.

AROUND THE OHL
WRITTEN BY: CARTER SMITH
BRANTFORD BULLDOGS
The Brantford Bulldogs sit atop not only the East Division but the entire Eastern Conference peaking at the right time. In their last 10 games the Bulldogs are 9-0-1-0 collecting points in all of them as they have climbed their way to the top. The offensive duo of Nick Lardis and Patrick Thomas have been leading the charge, with Lardis leading the league in goals having just hit the 60 mark and Thomas leading the league in assists with 67.
BRAMPTON STEELHEADS
The Brampton Stealheads have been on an absolute tear of late going 7-3-0-0 in their last 10 games sitting only one point back of the Niagara IceDogs for second place in the division. Strong offensive play has been the key to their success finding scoring from all different parts of their lineup. Brampton is holding on to the second worst penalty kill in the league, and with the importance of that come playoff time they will need to tight that up.

LONDON KNIGHTS
The London Knights are firing on all cylinders as they round into form for the playoffs going 9-1-0-0 in their last 10 games, while they currently ride a five-game win streak. London is seven points clear of then next closest team the Kitchener Rangers. The Knights are still have a single digit number in the loss column with only eight regulation losses and one overtime. Down the stretch it is going to be important for the London Knights to stay healthy while not getting complacent with what they have done so far this season.
SAGINAW SPIRIT
The Saginaw Spirit are finding their footing at the perfect time. One of the hottest teams in the entire league going 9-1-0-0 in their last 10 games leapfrogging the Erie Otters for fourth place in the conference they are looking to lock down home ice. It has been draft eligible forward Michael Misa leading the charge for the Spirit while also setting the pace for points in the OHL with 110 points, 11 clear of the next closest player. The Spirit will need to keep this going down the stretch if they want to have any chance at defending their Memorial Cup.

FROM PLAYER TO COACH:
BRAD MALONE’S JOURNEY TO LEADING THE OSHAWA GENERALS
WRITTEN BY: TOMAS MORGAN
The Oshawa Generals have hired Brad Malone as the interim head coach, a quick turnaround from his playing career to his coaching one.
He played over 750 professional hockey games between the NHL and AHL with Colorado, Carolina, Chicago and Edmonton’s organization before retiring in the spring of 2024. Malone was known for his big body, two-way game and liked to insert himself physically on every shift.
This play made him a leader in the locker room and earned him the captaincy in Bakersfield, for the last four seasons of his playing career.
“Communication is crucial,” said Malone. “A clear message on expectations of what is needed by everyone on the ice. The details that are part of the game need to be communicated on a daily basis.”
This is a key trait that Brad brought to the Generals organization when he was hired as a player development coach before the season started.
It did not take long to make his imprint on the organization as a leader. One on one interviews with players are a massive part of building their character, ensuring a strong team foundation.
Once November rolled around, Brad was promoted to assistant coach where his role changed. He was able to use his playing experience to help players make adjustments on the fly.
“The ability to make suggestions and corrections in game. Everything happens so fast at ice level,” added the interim bench boss. “Being able to immediately give the individuals feedback was a major difference.”
On December 9th, Brad Malone was named the Interim Head Coach after the organization let Steve O’Rourke go.
Now that Brad is the Head Coach, he sends a clear message to the team.
“Everyone has a seat at the table and [everyone] will be held to the same standard,” explained the newly appointed coach. “Nobody is above the team. Protect the house and work for each other.”

PREVIEW GAME DAY
WRITTEN BY: CARTER SMITH
The Oshawa Generals are back on home ice taking on the Kingston Frontenacs for the final time this season.
Oshawa is coming into this one coming off a win against the Erie Otters as they swept the season series against the American team. The Gens will need to start stringing wins together again as they near the playoffs and find themselves one point out of first place.
Kingston enters this game atop the Eastern Conference sitting one point ahead of both the Brandford Bulldogs and the Oshawa Generals with a game in hand on each of them. The Frontenacs have been on a tear of late, picking up points in six straight games, while going 7-2-0-1 in their last 10 games.
This is the last of eight meeting between these two teams, and it was the Kingston Frontenacs taking down the Generals 7-4 in Kingston.
Oshawa got two first period goals, one from each of Colby Barlow and Matthew Buckley before the Frontenacs cut the lead to 2-1 after one.
The Gens struck for two more goals in the first five minutes of the second period as Owen Griffin and Beckett Sennecke both found the back of the net making it 4-1 Generals.
It was all Kingston from that point on as they went on to rattle off six unanswered goals to storm back and grab a 7-4 victory.
RECAP LAST GAME
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST
WRITTEN BY: TOMAS MORGAN
The Oshawa Generals travelled to Erie and took down the Otters in a tight 3-2 win on Friday night.
Issac Gravelle made 25 saves on 27 shots and picked up his eighth win of the regular season.
Both teams had opportunities on the man advantage in the first period, but neither could execute. Erie’s Panos Fimis scored his 24th goal of the season, one goal away from tying his career-high set in the 2023-24 season. Fimis’ goal came with 4:47 left in the frame and was the only goal scored through the first 20 minutes.
The Generals tied the game just over two minutes into the second period. A point shot from Ethan Toms was deflected into the back of the net by Owen Griffin, tying the game 1-1. Erie regained the lead at the 8:50 mark of the frame before Oshawa native Luke Torrance evened up the game at twos on a play set up by Beckett Sennecke and Noah Powell. Torrance’s goal was his 21st of the season, tying last regular season’s total in one less game.
In the third period, Brooks Rogowski wired a shot bar down to score the eventual game-winning goal as the Generals swept the season 2-0.
Oshawa is back home versus the Kingston Frontenacs on Sunday evening.
WARM-UP INITIATIVE
BLACK HISTORY MONTH JERSEY
WRITTEN BY: ZAINA RAZEK
This February the Oshawa Generals will dress in new jerseys for warm-ups, which are “Black History Month” themed. The Generals will wear them for the first game back at home on February 7th.
The Jerseys will carry two primary colours: red and black sleeves in a wave design. The socks will also be red and black intertwined in a circular pattern. The front and back of the jersey will be solid black to highlight the design on the front, which is a gradient of red and orange. The logo will also be identical on both shoulders and follow the same red and orange gradient.
The design on the front is made up of components that interweave the Oshawa Generals’ history and Black History using Caribbean Cultures that make up the Black Canadian community. The design is showcased as a bear claw, with five toes representing the five Generals Memorial Cup Trophies. The middle of the claw is a bear silhouette in the shape of a “G” surrounded by red wave-like patterns inspired by Caribbean Cultures. “Oshawa Generals” will sit above the bear, and in total a collection of 38 pieces to make up the whole design will represent the 1937-38 season when the Oshawa Generals were founded.
The logo design on the shoulders is shaped like an “O” to represent the city of Oshawa. The lines of the “O” form a curving wave-like pattern to represent the Black Canadian Community. In the centre, a bear walks along the wave patterns in the “O” to show how the team’s history is interwoven with Black history.
The back of the jersey will be plain black with the player’s names and numbers in solid white with no outline.
The money made from the jerseys will be donated to The Carion Fenn Foundation.

ETHAN TOMS:
FROM SETBACK TO SUCCESS
WRITTEN BY: CARTER SMITH
Just a couple days after the shocking incident involving former NHL player Adam Johnson, Ethan Toms came face to face with the blade of a skate.
After two players got tangled in the neutral zone, Toms skated in before the player from Peterborough went down with his skate coming up catching the General in the face.
With the timing of it all, how could one not think the worst?
“We had a ceremony that night for Adam Johnson,” said the young forward. “So, the first thing I thought of was that and that’s why I panicked so much.”
The concern was shared by Head Athletic Therapist Shawn Winters.
“The Adam Johnson stuff just happened a couple of days before,” said Winters. “So obviously the big thing was just trying to get Ethan to calm down and then control the bleeding.”
The high emotions carried on as Ethan’s parents were at the game that night.
“They got me on the ambulance, and I remember my parents were down,” Toms shared. “They came down and they saw me, and they were just crying.”
But getting the injured Oshawa General to the ambulance was just the start.
“He had a facial laceration which was about six or seven inches long,” stated the athletic therapist. “A third of that was directly through the cheek. The back two thirds of it sliced a muscle that he had to get surgically repaired, and it also nicked a facial artery. So that’s why the bleeding was a little crazy. So, then in total he had, I think it was something like 142 stitches.”
Once it was all stitched up the journey back to the ice was on.
“It’s a pretty important face muscle.” said Winters. “We had to make sure that the muscle that got cut was functioning and working well again. He did have surgery on it, so it was attacked, but we just had to make sure it was strong.”
After that it was back to the ice!
“I remember being kind of nervous,” voiced Toms. “I don’t know, I just remember being very nervous and excited as well though because I had been off for so long. It was kind of a mix of excitement and nerves.”
From there Ethan was back suiting up for the Generals.
“When I first came back, it took me a game or two to kind of stop like thinking about it,” he said. “After that, I was fine!”
Toms has not looked back and shows no sign of fear in his game as this season the Gens forward has picked up career highs in points and goals having played less than half the number of games.
Canadian Tire, Rodman’s Heating and Air Conditioning, Desjardins Insurance, Planet Fitness, Dodd and Soutor, Pizza Pizza, Bluebird Self Storage, Staffing Connections, Professional Dry Cleaners, Gen7 Fuel and Color Compass Corporation have teamed up for the Adopt-A-School program!
This program gives local businesses the chance to give back to the community by purchasing Generals season tickets and donating them to elementary schools throughout Durham Region. The tickets are intended to reward students that excel in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities.
