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.

EASTERN CONFERENCE
BRANTFORD BULLDOGS
The Brantford Bulldogs are currently sitting third in the East Division, but it is a tight race at the top as they sit just two points behind the Oshawa Generals for first. Brantford is one of the hotter teams in the league right now as the try to continue their push upwards going 7-2-1-0 in the teams last ten games. When it comes to their position in the conference standings, Brantford is sitting fifth, but, much like the division they are just two points off first place. The Bulldogs have been the talk of the town after their recent sale to Zach Hyman, on the ice captain Patrick Thomas set a franchise record for assists in a career with 144 and counting.
SUDBURY WOLVES
The Sudbury Wolves currently sit third in their division and sixth in the conference, trailing the first-place Generals by seven points. Over their last ten games, the Wolves have posted a 5-5-0-0 record but are on a three-game losing streak, including a tough 8-1 loss to the London Knights in their most recent outing. The big news out of Sudbury is the recent acquisition of Calgary Flames prospect Henry Mews from the Ottawa 67’s at the trade deadline earlier this month. Mews, a 6-foot-1, 183-pound right-shot defender from Ottawa, ON, was selected in the third round of the 2024 NHL Draft by the Flames. He currently leads all OHL defensemen in scoring, with an impressive 58 points (12 goals, 46 assists) in just 43 games. The Wolves will be hoping Mews can soon make an impact and help them turn things around to snap their losing streak.

ERIE OTTERS
The Erie Otters currently hold third place in the Midwest Division and rank fourth in their conference, trailing the division-leading London Knights by a significant 23 points. Despite their position in the standings, the Otters have had an upand-down stretch, posting a 5-5-0-0 record over their last ten games. Most recently, they fell short against the Kingston Frontenacs in a hard-fought matchup, continuing their quest for more consistent results as they push deeper into the season. A key player driving Erie’s performance is over-ager Sam Alfano, whose contributions have been instrumental in keeping the Otters competitive. Alfano currently ranks 19th overall in the OHL player standings, with 27 goals and 25 assists in just 40 games. His 52 points not only lead the Otters but also highlight his ability to deliver in crucial moments and will be pivotal for Erie as they aim to gain ground in the conference standings and make a strong push toward the postseason.
SOO GREYHOUNDS
MIDWEST DIVISION WEST DIVISION WESTERN
The Soo Greyhounds currently sit at the bottom of their division and rank eighth in the Western Conference with 37 points, trailing the first-place London Knights by 32 points. The team has struggled for consistency, posting a 3-6-1-0 record over their last ten games. However, their most recent performance offered a glimpse of promise as they secured an impressive 3-0 shutout victory against the Ottawa 67’s. Notably, the former General Brady T. Smith, who was acquired by the Soo in the Andrew Gibson trade, made his mark by scoring his third goal as a Greyhound, building on his two-goal performance in just his second appearance with the team. While Smith has added depth to the roster, the Greyhounds ’ standout player remains right-winger

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.

PREVIEW GAME DAY
WRITTEN BY: ALEX CHAMPAGNE
The Oshawa Generals are gearing up to host their biggest rivals, the Peterborough Petes, on Friday night at the Tribute Communities Centre.
Last weekend, the Generals faced a tough home-and-home series against the Brantford Bulldogs, falling 4-3 in overtime at home on Friday and 5-3 in regulation on Saturday in Brantford. However, they rebounded on Sunday evening with a 4-1 victory over the second-place Windsor Spitfires.
In Friday’s matchup against Brantford, Noah Powell notched his first career OHL goal early in the first period to tie the game and keep the Gens in contention. The Philadelphia Flyers prospect, acquired from the Ohio State Buckeyes, wasted no time making an impact, adding to the momentum he built with assists in his first two games with Oshawa.
The Petes arrive in Oshawa coming off a big 8-6 win over the Saginaw Spirit, having won just four of their last ten games. They will undoubtedly be eager to stay in the win column and generate some much-needed positive momentum.
The most recent match between these rivals took place in early December at the Memorial Centre, where the Generals came up short in a 4-3 overtime loss. Despite that setback, the Gens have controlled the season series, claiming victory in the other four matchups.
This matchup saw the Generals off to a challenging start, surrendering a shorthanded goal on their first powerplay, giving the Petes a 1-0 lead heading into the first intermission.
In the second period, Peterborough extended their lead just five minutes in, with Colin Fitzgerald netting the game’s second goal to make it 2-0. Fortunately, Generals defenceman Zach Sandhu responded with a well-placed shot from the point that navigated through traffic and found the back of the net, cutting the deficit to one. However, the Petes quickly restored their two-goal lead, scoring with 7:04 remaining in the frame to make it 3-1.
The third period was the Generals’ strongest of the night. A powerplay goal from Luke Torrance just 3:13 into the period gave the team a much-needed boost, and another powerplay tally by Colby Barlow six minutes later evened the score at 3-3, forcing overtime for the third time between these rivals this season.
In the extra frame, Peterborough’s Gavin Bryant sealed the game just 49 seconds into overtime, handing the Generals a hard-fought 4-3 loss.
RECAP LAST GAME
SUNDAY, JANUARY 19TH
WRITTEN

ZAINA RAZEK
The Oshawa Generals are on home ice after a tough loss against the Brantford Bulldogs last night. They hoped to make a comeback tonight and did against the Windsor Spitfires in a 4-1 win.
The Spitfires and the Gens sit first in their respective divisions, which proved to be a close match.
Halfway through the first, Luke Torrance tipped in his 16th goal of the season during a Gens powerplay.
The Spitfires managed to secure a goal near the end of the first scored by Anthony Cristoforo. By the first intermission, the score was tied, and the Gens had to get to work in the second.
The second was slow, as both teams couldn’t finish on the play. Jacob Oster stood strong in between the pipes making 25 saves in total.
In the last minute of play, Colorado Avalanche prospect Calum Ritchie netted the game-winner assisted by Colby Barlow and Ben Danford.
The third period was big for the Gens as they took down a top-rated team. During a Gens powerplay, Matthew Buckley sniped the puck, hitting the back of the net and receiving his 12th of the season.
New Gens player Noah Powell has come in hot and scored his second goal late in the third. Powell recorded one goal and one assist, and the Gens won 4-1.
The Generals will continue at home on Friday, the 24th, to play the Peterborough Petes.
WARM-UP INITIATIVE
HOCKEY FIGHTS CANCER
To kick off the new year, the Generals will showcase new warm-up jerseys, which are “Hockey Fights Cancer” themed. The Jersey will be worn for the first time on January 1 at our New Year’s Day game.
This jersey’s primary colour will be Lavender purple with Eggplant purple stripes on the arms and around the bottom of the jersey. Between the two stripes on the arm will be a stripe of many cancer ribbons outlined in eggplant purple. The socks will have the same pattern as the sleeves with two purple stripes and the hockey fight cancer stripe.
The back of the collar features a written message, “I fight for a cure”, to all people affected by Cancer. Two patches will be featured on the shoulders: the Hockey Fights Cancer logo on the left and the Canadian Cancer Society logo on the right.
The Oshawa Generals logo will be purple, similar to the December jersey, where it was made light blue. The numbers and names will be solely white with no outline.
Donations from the jerseys will fund the Canadian Cancer Society.
MID-SEASON RECAP
WRITTEN BY: BRAEDEN CARITO
Coming off the best season that the Oshawa Generals have had since 2015, making it all the way to the OHL Championship Series, they were faced with some big shake ups in the offseason.
With Minnesota Wild prospect prospect Rasmus Kumpulainen returning home to play after a season where he put up 28 goals and 28 assists for Oshawa, and New York Rangers prospect Dylan Roobroeck joining the Hartford Wolfpack of the AHL, the OHL’s most storied franchise turned to a different direction. They made the blockbuster move to bring in former Attack captain Colby Barlow to put on the front end.
Not only was it Barlow who cracked the roster, they brought in import players David Svozil and Lauri Sinivuori. Also cracking the roster was Tyler O’Toole, Brooks Rogowski, and Isaac Gravelle as the backup goaltender.
Going 20-11-2-1 in the first half of the season, the Gens faced adversity multiple times- starting the season without key players as they were away at NHL training camps and head coach Steve O’Rourke being dismissed from his role after 30 games, to name a couple. But with all of the challenges they faced, they managed to stick to their winning ways of last season.
Not only did they go above .600 in the first half of the season, they hold one of the league’s top power play units with a 25.6% success rate. Contributing to the offensive success saw top prospects in Beckett Sennecke, Calum Ritchie, Luca Marrelli and many more play some of the best hockey in their career.
The Gennies have been able to find many positives through 34 games of the 2024-25 season, including sitting atop the East Division, and second in the Eastern Conference just three points behind the Niagara IceDogs.
Although the Eastern Conference has been a very talented group of teams all season, Oshawa has found ways to succeed and strive against some of the OHL’s top teams.
The new kid on the block this season. Colby Barlow was welcomed with open arms by the Generals and all fans after he was acquired from the Owen Sound Attack on Oct. 3rd. The Winnipeg Jets first-round prospect has had an unbelievable OHL career to date, with back-to-back 40-goal seasons.
With added depth on the power play and in the O-zone, it’s clear Barlow didn’t forget any of his patented talents in Owen Sound. With the second-most goals on the team with 17, and a team-leading ten of those on the power play, he has brought even more firepower to an already powerful top six.
With ten assists to compliment his scoring this season, Barlow was very optimistic to join this roster filled with talent. Still finding his groove on this squad, Barlow’s knowledge and passion for the game will go a long way for this team in the back end of the season.
COLBY BARLOW LUKE TORRANCE
The hometown kid Luke Torrance has had an impressive start to his overage season, holding the tie for third-most points on the team. The 2004-born forward is coming off a season where he netted 21 goals and put up 20 assists on the board.
Torrance has been a huge stabilizer for the Gens when he hits the ice, with a team-high plus-minus of +18. His average of over a point per game compliments his effectiveness on the ice, being able to set up his teammates at the right time - hence his 22 assists so far this year.
What a dream come true it would be for the hometown kid to hit one more deep playoff run before officially becoming an overage in the league. If Torrance sticks to his consistent ways in the second half of the season, he will be a large part of Oshawa’s playoff success.

REFLECTING ON THE GENERALS’ FIFTH MEMORIAL CUP
WRITTEN BY: TOMAS MORGAN
10 seasons ago, the Oshawa Generals won their fifth Memorial Cup. A team led by forward Michael Dal Colle, Cole Cassels and Tobias Lindberg finished 2nd in the regular season OHL standings behind the Soo Greyhounds. Just beneath the Generals in 3rd were Connor McDavid and the Erie Otters, who the Generals beat in their quest for the J. Ross Robertson Cup.
After beating the Otters in five games to clinch the OHL title, they went on to the Memorial Cup hosted by the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL. The two other teams that won their respective leagues that year were the Rimouski Oceanic (QMJHL) and Kelowna Rockets (WHL).
The Generals went a perfect 3-0 in the round-robin, securing all six points and advancing directly to the championship game, where they played the Kelowna Rockets. The Rockets team featured current super-star, highest-paid NHLer Leon Draisaitl, and all-star defenceman Josh Morrissey.
But Oshawa took care of business thanks to undrafted training camp invitee Anthony Cirelli. Cirelli netted both Generals’ goals in the 2-1 overtime win to clinch the Memorial Cup.
Goaltender Ken Appleby saved 37 of 38 shots on goal and made several big saves in the win, including a breakaway save on Leon Draisaitl.
Draisaitl led the tournament in points, but he could not get his team over the finish line. Tobias Lindberg and Michael Dal Colle led the Generals in points, each registering five.
Ten years later, the Generals have the firepower and are hungry for another.
With NHL first-round picks Calum Ritchie, Beckett Sennecke, Colby Barlow, and Ben Danford leading the way, the Generals are among the favourites to win the J. Ross Robertson Cup. If they make the OHL finals, they will likely play the London Knights again, a favourite in the Western Conference, who they lost to just last season.
With the 2024 playoff run behind them and most of the Generals’ veterans returning, they are primed for a long playoff run and, hopefully, a trip to the 2025 Memorial Cup in Rimouski.
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.
