April 14th vs. Ottawa 67's: Game Day Playbook

FROM OUR FRONT OFFICE to our fans

Dear Generals fans, as we embark on yet another year of hockey, I’m excited for the outlook of our hockey club. This year, the expectations are higher as we continue our search for yet another championship.

This season, we welcome many new and exciting young players along with many returnees, all coming together to make this year very promising.

I wanted to thank all of our loyal fans for all their continued support and I look forward to seeing everyone around the rink soon!

Rocco Tullio

President

I want to take this opportunity to welcome all of you to the 2023-2024 Oshawa Generals and the return of OHL hockey after a long summer.

This season will be one of the most competitive campaigns we have had in several years. The Eastern Conference will be a dog fight, night in and night out. Facing the Ottawa 67’s in the first-round last season, showed us how much the game changes when the playoffs arrive. You must bring it every night. Nothing is given and everything will be earned. Make no mistake, there are no playoffs if you don’t take care of the regular season.

With Derek Laxdal and his staff returning for there second season, they will be more comfortable in this environment and understand with your tremendous support comes expectations. The players playing under them for the second year should have no surprises on the demands and expectations on them. Our scouts have done another tremendous job in identifying talent for us and none more impressive then our 2023 first rounder, Owen Griffin who has begun to earn his way into the hearts of Gens fans, team mates and coaches for years to come.

Our past is certainly something that all our supporters and everyone in our organization is very proud of. This season our entire focus right now is on the present. We want to have the best team possible to challenge for silverware again.

Anything but your best won’t be good enough to make you a member of this Oshawa General’s was the message from training camp to now. This message remains the same.

GO GENS GO !!!!!!

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

EASTERN CONFERENCE

SERIES HIGHLIGHT: NORTH BAY vs SUDBURY

A long-anticipated playoff series in Northern Ontario sees North Bay and Sudbury meet in the OHL Playoffs for the first time in about a decade.

Sudbury comes off a five-game series triumph over a higher-seeded Mississauga Steelheads squad. The Wolves did what they do best in the first round: score goals. Sudbury scored five or more in three of their four victories against the Steelheads, with OHL regular season scoring champion David Goyette leading the way offensively with nine points.

The Central Division champion Battalion knocked-off the Kingston Frontenacs in five games but came out of the first-round series with some significant losses as starting goaltender Dom DiVincentiis and leading goal-scorer Anthony Romani both went down with injuries. Captain Liam Arnsby was assessed a six-game suspension in Game 4 of the opening round as he enters this series against Sudbury with five games yet to serve.

The teams meet April 11th in the opener of a best-of-seven Eastern Conference semi-final that promises memorable moments.

WESTERN CONFERENCE

SERIES HIGHLIGHT: SAGINAW vs SOO

This marks the sixth time that Saginaw and Sault Ste. Marie has met in the OHL Playoffs.

The Spirit and Greyhounds will settle the score in the Western Conference Semi-Finals, with the Memorial Cup host Spirit looking to fulfill their destiny up against a Greyhounds group setting out to crash the party in mid-Michigan.

The Spirit come off a 4-0 series sweep of the Owen Sound Attack, outscoring the Bears 18-8. They look to hit the ice flying on home ice Thursday night after a lengthy break for both teams. The Greyhounds enter off a sweep of their own, eliminating the Guelph Storm in four first-round contests.

The series offers an intriguing goaltending matchup as two undrafted 19-year-olds in Saginaw’s Andrew Oke and Sault Ste. Marie’s Charlie Schenkel try and take their teams to the next level. Oke (89th) was selected just two picks before Schenkel (91st) in the 2020 OHL Priority Selection as the two veterans, who have each shown glimpses of being big game performers throughout their time in the league, look to be a positive factor in the series.

OSHAWA MEETS OTTAWA FOR ROUND TWO ROUND TWO PREVIEW REVENGE TOUR

The Oshawa Generals have eliminated the Barrie Colts after a suspenseful Round One of the 2024 OHL Playoffs and advanced to Round Two for the first time since 2019.

The 4-2 series ended last Sunday at the Sadlon Arena when the Generals took the 3-0 shutout victory home. The series was filled with exciting, gripping, and intense playoff hockey with goalies Jacob Oster and Sam Hillebrandt walking away with a shutout each, an OT-winning goal by 2024 NHL Draft prospect Beckett Sennecke in Game Four, and the last goal to close off the series coming from former Colts captain and Dallas Stars commitment, Connor Punnett. Colorado Avalanche prospect Calum Ritchie led the Generals through Round One with eight points, Oster made a total of 150 saves with 12 goals against in six games, and Matthew Buckley dominated the extra man-advantages with three power-play goals.

Round Two begins this Friday and Oshawa will be going face-to-face with Eastern Conference rivals, the Ottawa 67’s. You’re going to want a front-row seat to this series, as the Generals are coming in #RedHot intending to change the narrative from last season’s 4-1 series fallout against the 67’s during Round One.

“Our players are excited to get Round Two and Game One get started,” says Head Coach, Derek Laxdal. “Ottawa is a well-coached team that competes every shift—it should be a great series.”

The Ottawa 67’s are entering the Round Two series on a high after knocking out the second-seed, Brantford Bulldogs. Ottawa also led their series 4-2 and had stellar performances by Samuel Mayer and Luca Pinelli who led goals with four each, Jack Dever with a team-leading eight points, as well as goaltender Collin MacKenzie making 174 saves on 193 shots. Game One began with success from the Bulldogs, followed by three back-toback wins by the 67’s. Brantford brought some hope with a victory in Game Five, but Ottawa closed the series in Game Six in front of the Nation’s Capital.

This season, Oshawa and Ottawa have met a total of eight times this season, where Ottawa has taken the wins 6-2. However, out of those eight games, three have gone into overtime, and all but three games have been a one-goal difference. Both teams are going to come in hungry, with Ottawa trying to rebound from last year’s series while Oshawa looks to show that they’re a whole new team.

The Oshawa Generals and Ottawa 67’s get ready to face off in game two afters the Gens took the first one 4-3.

Oshawa battled back in game one to get the win giving themselves an early lead in the series. The Generals had three players with multi-point games Beckett Sennecke had a goal and an assist, Calum Ritchie had a pair of goals and an assist, and Dylan Roobroeck scored one and added three helpers.

The 67’s jumped in front in game one but could not hold on to the lead dropping the first game. Ottawa got scoring from all different places getting points from eight different players.

GAME ONE:

Oshawa took down Ottawa 4-3 in game one of the second round giving the Generals a 1-0 series lead.

After the 67’s got on the board to start, Oshawa would score twice as Roobroeck deflected a shot into the net and Sennecke snapped a shot the Ottawa goalie couldn’t get all of.

Ottawa would tie things up but Oshawa would get back-to-back goals from Ritchie including a highlight reel goal beating a defenceman and the goalie before sliding the puck in the net.

Ottawa would score again with just over five minutes to go but it was all for not as they were unable to get another.

IN MEMORIAM

1976-2023

On July 30th, the entire Oshawa Generals organization and family was devastated with the news of the passing of long-time scout Michael ‘Craiger’ Craig. Michael unfortunately lost his battle with a rare form of colorectal cancer.

Craiger, as he was known around the rink, was a scout with the Generals’ organization for Eastern Ontario for more than 15 years. He scouted players such as Will Petschenig, Daniel Altshuller, Serron Noel, William Ennis, and current General Matthew Buckley – just to name a few. Michael was also a part of the 2014-2015 Memorial Cup Championship run.

Throughout his career on and off the ice, Michael selflessly helped and assisted so many students, Special Olympic athletes, OHL and minor hockey players – touching and enriching countless lives.

The entire Oshawa Generals organization continues to send their love to entire Craig family, his students, and all of the players who he crossed paths with.

OSHAWA GENERALS CLINCH 2024 PLAYOFF SPOT AFTER WIN AGAINST THE COLTS ON HOME ICE

The Oshawa Generals took down the Barrie Colts 5-2 clinching a spot in the OHL playoffs for the 13th straight season the second-longest streak in the league.

Rasmus Kumpulainen was the first star of the game in the win scoring twice, while four other Gens picked up two points. Jacob Oster was in net for this one stopping 22 of the 24 shots that he faced.

It took nearly the entire first period for the deadlock to break, but it was the Generals getting on the board on a powerplay as Calum Ritchie fired a one-timer that hit Kumpulainen in front of the net making it 1-0 Oshawa.

Then with just 14 seconds to go, the Gens would add another when Connor Punnett fanned on a shot it was Luke Torrance shooting a backhander through the legs of the Barrie goalie making it 2-0.

Just under five minutes into the second, the Gens would capitalize on another powerplay as the puck fell to Beckett Sennecke who beat Ben West for a 3-0 Oshawa lead.

Less than one minute later, that lead would grow as it was the captain Stuart Rolofs firing a shot through a crowd straight into the back of the net making it 4-0 Generals.

The Colts would get one back as Beau Jelsma created a turnover in the offensive end picking off a pass and then skating to the middle of the ice before beating Oster up over his blocker making it 4-1 Gens.

Oshawa would strike back in the final minute of the second period as Kumpulainen took a pass from before making a nice move to get around replacement goalie Sam Hillebrandt then turning and lifting a backhand shot over the netminder making it 5-1 Gens.

RECOGNIZING THE GENERALS’ GRADUATING PLAYERS

STUART ROLOFS

Rolofs was named the 71st captain in Oshawa Generals history back in September 2023. Drafted in the 1st round, 20th overall in the 2019 OHL Priority Selection by the London Knights, the overager was acquired by the Generals via a trade in December 2021. Entering 2023, Rolofs skated into his third season with Oshawa. During the 2021-2022 season, Rolofs appeared in 47 games with the Generals, scoring 13 goals and adding 26 assists, for 39 points. Rolofs had his most successful season on record the next year, appearing in 62 games, scoring 32 goals and 29 assists for a career-high 61 points. His career-best season recently earned him an invite to the Ottawa Senator’s development camp. This season, the Carp, ON native has wrapped up his regular season with 64 games played, leading his team in goals with 32, and collecting 26 assists. With a total of 58 points, Rolofs has taken his leadership role both on and off of the ice.

“It’s been an honour to be the captain. It’s helped me grow as a player and a person. Being a leader comes with more responsibility as you need to set the right example and be a role model for your teammates,” says Rolofs.

As his final season with the Generals and in the OHL, this will be one to remember. Leading the team as far as he can is ideal to savour every moment and wrap up his junior hockey career with pride.

CONNOR PUNNETT

Acquired by the Barrie Colts back before the January trade deadline, Connor Punnett came to the Generals in exchange for overage defenceman, Thomas Stewart, a 2025 3rd-round pick, and a 2027 6th-round pick. The Powassan, Ont., native, was originally drafted by the Saginaw Spirit as the 19th overall pick in the first round of the 2019 OHL Priority Selection before being traded to Barrie in 2020.

Wrapping his career up with 247 games under his OHL belt, Punnett has 120 points with 32 goals and 88 assists. In 15 playoff games, he has scored 1 goal and 3 assists for 4 points with the Colts. He has brought immense leadership to the Gens squad and was immediately a favourite of GensNation, after his home-ice debut was accompanied by a Gordie Howe hat trick, with a goal, assist and a scrap. His presence and leadership are evident not just in the backend, but with the community, staff, and players as well.
