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
NIAGARA ICEDOGS
The Ottawa 67’s find themselves in a battle for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference sitting just one point clear of the North Bay Battalion. However, Ottawa has been one of if not the coldest teams in the league going 1-8-1-0 over their last 10 games. Their once league best powerplay has seen a sharp decline since they moved their top defenceman Henry Mews to Sudbury, and their penalty kill remains last in the Ontario Hockey League by nearly four percent. If the 67’s want to hold on to that last playoff spot, change is needed.
CENTRAL DIVISION
The IceDogs currently sit in second place in the Central Division with 58 points this season. The IceDogs have recorded 27 wins this season making them one of the top contenders in their division. Ryan Roobroeck has been a player to watch on the IceDogs, recording 68 points, with 36 assists and 32 goals. He’s been a powerhouse on the ice, leading the IceDogs. Owen Flores has been holding strong in net coming in with 23 wins and a 0.903 save percentage. The IceDogs have many players on the leaderboard this season and have been consistently winning. The Ice Dogs will have to work on keeping low-scoring games when it comes to losses in their upcoming games. This final push will keep them in a good position heading into the playoffs.

GUELPH STORM
MIDWEST DIVISION
The Guelph Storm currently holds 4th place in the Midwest division with a total of 33 points. They have been on the lower end of the standings this season with a 0.375 percentage point. The Storm have played slightly better in the second half, recording wins against big teams like the Brantford Bulldogs and the Oshawa Generals. Players to watch on the Storm include Charlie Paquette and Colin Ellsworth. Paquette leads the Storm in points with 39 and has been important to the team’s depth. Paquette also recorded his first hat-trick in a battle against the Generals. 16-year-old Ellsworth has been a young goalie to watch as he has proven to be calm in the net and has a current save percentage of .868%. The Storm will have to improve on scoring to push through this season.
SARNIA STING
The Sarnia Sting sit low on the standings currently 4th in the West division, although they have the chance to pass the Flint Firebirds in the standings. With 41 points and a 0.456 percentage point, the Sting have been consistent in wins recently and need to continue that streak to rise in the standings. Players to watch include Zach Filak and Easton Wainwright who lead the Sting in points. Filak with 34 points recently committed to the University of Vermont in the NCAA division for the 2025-26 season, meaning he’ll finish out the year with the Sting. Wainwright follows with 30 points, 19 assists and 11 goals being a strong depth player on the ice. The Sting still have the second half of the season to push past the Firebirds but for now, will hold 4th place.

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: CARTER SMITH
The Oshawa Generals remain at home as they get set to take on the Barrie Colts who sit a top the Eastern Conference.
Oshawa is coming off a tough weekend that saw them split their two games, coming from behind to beat the Petes in a chippy game and falling 6-1 to the Guelph Storm. The Gens need to right the ship quickly in a tightly contested conference.
After a tough start to 2025 dropping five games in a row the Barrie Colts have pulled a complete 180 rattling off six straight wins. Barrie may boast the best Goalie tandem in the Ontario Hockey League as well as having nine NHL affiliated players.
It has been exactly one month since the teams played, with their last meeting coming on New Years Eve, and it was all Colts as they won 7-4.
Barrie started the scoring early in a first period that saw six goals find the back of the net. Oshawa answered with a pair of their own but the Colts buried three in just over four minutes giving them a 4-2 lead at the intermission.
The second period saw the two teams trade goals as the Gens were unable to make up any ground in the middle frame.
Oshawa cut the two-goal lead in half when Brooks Rogowski was able to score a little after the halfway point of the period. Barrie was able to lock things down when they scored a couple minutes later and added an empty net later to seal the deal.
RECAP LAST GAME
SUNDAY, JANUARY 26TH
WRITTEN BY: ZAINA RAZEK
The Oshawa Generals hosted the Hockey Fights Cancer game against the Guelph Storm for the first and only time at the Tribute Communities Centre this season and were unsuccessful in a 6-1 loss.
Colorado Avalanche prospect Calum Ritchie played his 200th career game. Storms Charlie Paquette fired first early in the game, and the Gens worked quickly to cover.
During a Gens powerplay, the Storm scored a shorthanded goal by Hunter McKenzie. By the end of the period, the Gens were down two, and going into the second, the Gens had to make up some ground.
Paquette sniped in his second goal of the game early in the third making it harder for the Gens to close the gap.
Colby Barlow, who recently made the all-time OHL official top 50 goal-scorer list, netted his 27th of the season and put the Gens on the board.
Parker Snelgrove scored minutes later against goaltender Jacob Oster. The Gens could not catch up in the second, and it was difficult to make any more play in the third.
Ryan Mcguire hit the back of the net early in the third, and Paquette secured a hat-trick with an empty netter near the end of the third.
The Generals ended the night with a loss at home and will play their next home game against the Barrie Colts.
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.
Matthew Buckley has had another impressive and steady season thus far. The Ottawa, ON native can be nothing but pleased with his outings in the first half of the season, suiting up for all 34 contests. In all of those games, Buckley has been able to be a go-to guy for the Gens, with ten goals (including three on the man advantage), and 16 assists.
Coming off a 30-goal 2023-24 campaign, the 2005-born forward has mastered his one-timer from the top of the circle, becoming a move the team resorts to quite often when on the power play.
Should Buckley remain fierce offensively, he will demonstrate and display scoring abilities that will impact the team in a positive way in the back end of the Generals’ season. Being one of the most reliable players in the 2024 playoff run, keep an eye on Buckley to be the same once again this year.
MATTHEW BUCKLEY LAURI SINIVUORI
After a warm welcome to the city of Oshawa, Lauri Sinivuori has had quite the showing in his first half of the season. Suiting up in all games so far, the 2006-born forward has fit right in with the Gens’ offense, finding himself on the ice at high-pressure, highintensity times.
After being selected 52nd by Oshawa in the 2024 import draft, Sinivuori has had a significant impact to the team, collecting 18 points between seven goals and eleven assists.
He has shown up in times that have mattered, scoring three game winning goals this season - tied for the second-most on the Generals. Talk about hitting the jackpot. Despite falling to 52nd in the import draft, it appears Oshawa found a hidden gem that comes through in times of need. If he continues his ways in the the back-end of the 2024-25 season, he’ll find himself on the ice in additional key times, and will turn heads while doing so.

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.
