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
PETERBOROUGH PETES
The Petes’ 2024-2025 season has not been what they had hoped for, despite their 15th loss, they have looked better in recent games. They have taken two of the biggest heavy hitters to shootouts, limiting a loaded Niagara offence to only two goals, with Ethan Czata and Ryan Roobroeck finding the back of the Peterborough net. So far, Petes Aiden Young has been the team’s top goal scorer with five, and Chase Lefebvre has led the way in terms of points with nine. The Petes head on a Michigan road trip this coming weekend to face Saginaw, Flint, and Windsor and might be able to score a few points or own a potential win.
NIAGARA ICEDOGS
Niagara has been one of the most talented teams and is still motoring in first place, although the rest of the East is catching up to them. In their last five games, they have two losses to Windsor and Barrie. Although they got off to a dominant start, they sit only one point ahead of the red-hot Oshawa Generals in the Eastern Conference and two points ahead of the Kingston Frontenacs. Despite this, they still have some of the best players in the league. Owen Flores is currently the ninth-best goaltender in the OHL. Kevin He, the team’s leader in points, goals, and assists, is the eighth-best in the OHL regarding total points, sitting one point behind Oshawa’s Luca Marrelli. They have also had solid production from several other players, including Ryan Roobroeck, Andrei Loshko, Alex Assadourian, rookie Max Crete, and Jack Brauti.

KITCHENER RANGERS
MIDWEST DIVISION
With a record of 12-2-1-1, they have claimed the first spot in the Western Conference, winning 12 of 16 games this season. They have also won their last three games by multiple goals, including a 6-1 win against Sarnia and an 8-4 win against Sudbury to start the month of November. Kitchener’s offence has also been on a roll so far. Adrian Misaljevic leads the team in points with 25, Cameron Reid with 19, Luca Romano and Trent Swick with 18, and Tanner Lam with 14. Misaljevic also has the team lead in goals with 12, followed by Luca Romano and Luke Ellinas with eight.
WINDSOR SPITFIRES
Currently sitting at 12-2-1-0, one point behind Kitchener, the Spitfires can eventually claim the top spot in the Western Conference. Offensively, Captain Liam Greentree leads the way in points with 29 and 21 assists. Joey Costanzo has been the best goalie in the OHL so far this season, with a 1.67 GAA and a 0.938 save percentage.

OCTOBER RECAP GENERALS
WRITTEN BY: TOMAS MORGAN
The Oshawa Generals had a busy opening month to the season. Starting the season with missing pieces, acquiring new ones, hot and cold streaks, and many milestones featured an action-packed October.
The Generals got off to a good start, winning their first game of the season against the Kingston Frontenacs. Following their win, they dropped their next two games. Oshawa would then get some help from the reinstatement of Ben Danford from the Toronto Maple Leafs training camp.
Upon Danford’s return, the Generals named their leadership group for the season, with Danford leading the charge as Captain. Calum Ritchie, Luke Torrance, Matthew Buckley, and Luca Marrelli were all named alternate captains.
Oshawa continued to bolster their lineup by acquiring Owen Sound Attack’s 40-goal scorer, Colby Barlow. With the addition of Barlow and Danford back to the squad, things were looking up for the Generals. But they needed help finding their game with so many moving pieces.
Debuting on September 29th, the Gens wore their first featured warm-up jerseys of the year. The October warm-up jersey was an ode to the Indigenous Community and National Truth and Reconciliation Day.
Looking back to October 4th, the team lost both games that weekend on home ice despite the return of Beckett Sennecke from Anaheim Ducks training camp on October 6th. That weekend, rookies Brady Smith and Lauri Sinivuori secured their first OHL career goals.
The following weekend, Tyler O’Toole scored his first career OHL goal, and goaltender Isaac Gravelle notched his first OHL win against the Sarnia Sting. That got the Generals back in the win column after losing four in a row.
They would lose two more before getting the season back on track with back-to-back wins over their rivals, Peterborough Petes. The second of the two wins was their first on home ice this season.
The Generals followed up the performance with a dominant 5-3 win over the 2024 Memorial Cup Champions Saginaw Spirit. Colby Barlow got the monkey off his back and scored his first in a General’s uniform.
Oshawa finished the month winning two of the last three in dominant fashion and getting Calum Ritchie back from the Colorado Avalanche after he played seven regular season games in the NHL. Ritchie had two assists in the 7-2 win over Kingston. That game also saw rookie forward Brooks Rogowski pot his first OHL goal.
In their last game of October, they followed up their seven-goal performance with another seven goals at home on Steve Dangle Night against the Peterborough Petes. Sennecke recorded a hat trick and Barlow scored two goals in the 7-5 win.
The Generals sit second in the Eastern Conference with a 7-6-1 record to end October.
Luca Marrelli is tied for 9th in the OHL in points with 17. He leads the Generals, followed by Beckett Sennecke and Luke Torrance with 14.
Oshawa kicks November off with a game on the 1st against the Sarnia Sting for their annual Country Night as they look only to move up with what they have started thus far.

PREVIEW GAME DAY
WRITTEN BY: CARTER SMITH
The Oshawa Generals return to home ice as they take on the first-place team in the Ontario Hockey League the Kitchener Rangers.
After their five-game win streak was snapped by the Kingston Frontenacs, the Gens look to back bounce on home ice where they have won five straight. Oshawa is in second place in the East Division sitting three points behind Kingston.
Kitchener comes to the Tribute Communities Centre as the best team in the league, with a record of 13-2-2-1 for 29 points. The Rangers did not lose a game in regulation during October and have yet to do so in November, the last time they lost in regulation was the second game of the season.
Last season, the Generals split the two-game series with the Rangers, but Oshawa won the last meeting 2-1 in overtime amidst a 12-game win streak to close out the season.
The action got underway quickly in the last match-up as the Gens grabbed an early 1-0 lead on the back of a Connor Lockhart goal before Kitchener levelled it just over two and a half minutes later.
It was quiet the rest of the way until overtime where the Generals once again wasted no time finding the back of the net 18 seconds into overtime sending the Kitchener fans home disappointed.
RECAP LAST GAME
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH
WRITTEN BY: TOMAS MORGAN
Oshawa makes the trip east to take on the Kingston Frontenacs for their third matchup of the season. Oshawa has won both games of the season series this year, taking a close 3-2 matchup on September 27th and dominating their second matchup almost a month later, 7-2.
Not much action got on the scoresheet during the first period, but the Frontenacs would get the game’s first powerplay from a Lucas Rodriguez roughing penalty. Both goalies were perfect, as the total shots for the first period were 13 – 14 in favour of the Frontenacs.
Oshawa would get their first attempt on the powerplay 8:46 into the second period after Etham Miedema tripped Calum Ritchie. They would not convert on the man advantage. Kingston also got a powerplay opportunity in the second period, with Luca Marrelli called for holding 12:47 into the period. Owen Griffin would get called for a hooking penalty and give the Frontenacs 16 seconds of five-on-three action.
The second period was a low-shooting affair, with the shots on goal being only 8 to 9 in favour of the Kingston Frontenacs.
The third period would finally see some scoring action as Jacob Battaglia scored his 13th of the year on Kingston’s fourth powerplay to make it 1-0. 11:38 into the period, Colby Barlow scored to tie the game at one. Shortly after, Maleek McGowan would score to give Kingston a 2-1 lead.
The Generals wouldn’t be able to generate any more offence, and the Frontenacs snap Oshawa’s five-game win streak. Final shots were 31-29 in favour of the Gens.
WARM-UP INITIATIVE
MILITARY JERSEY
WRITTEN BY: TOMAS MORGAN
We’re excited to reveal our November warm-up jersey, continuing our monthly initiatives. Starting on November 1st against the Sarnia Sting, the Generals will be wearing military-themed jerseys for the first three games of the month.
The jersey is a thank you to those who have served our country and helped to keep it safe over the years. The military defends our interests and values while contributing to international peace and security in Canada. We owe them an infinite number of “thank yous”.
Our military-themed jersey features a poppy on both shoulders, stripes on the sleeves that also signify the poppy and a Wounded Warriors patch on the front left of the jersey.
The poppy has been a symbol of remembrance for over 100 years. It became a symbol after World War I due to the land that was fought on being a place where poppies grow. Lieutenant Colonel John McRae wrote A poem called “In Flanders Fields” during the First World War; he was “inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle-scarred fields”. This poem is still read in many Remembrance Day ceremonies nationwide every year.
People all across Canada wear a poppy leading up to Remembrance Day to signify their support for the service of our armed forces, veterans, and families. We will wear the poppy on our shoulders for November.
The Wounded Warriors are a national mental health service dedicated to serving those who deal with trauma. They serve the Canadian Armed Forces, veterans, and many other first responders around Canada. Donations for this month’s jersey will support Wounded Warriors in their efforts to serve Trauma Exposed Professionals (TExP).
These jerseys will be live for auction on DASH November 1st and worn for three warm-ups until our Remembrance Night game against the Rangers on November 10th. The jersey auction will close on Nov. 11th from 6-8 p.m.
LEADERSHIP
WRITTEN BY: CARTER SMITH
After last year’s Captain Stuart Rolofs graduated from the OHL, the spot was left vacant, and Ben Danford was named the 72nd captain of the Oshawa Generals. Beyond the naming of a new captain, there have been some other additions to the Gens leadership group, so let’s take a closer look at who will be donning the letter this season.
BEN DANFORD
Wearing the ‘C’ for the first time, Danford has been a rock at the back end for the Generals, doing the little things to help the team. Danford is in his third season with the Gens and was a first-round pick by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
CALUM RITCHIE
Returning late to the Generals this season after playing seven games with the Colorado Avalanche, Ritchie will again be wearing an ‘A’ on his jersey. Back for his fourth season in the OHL, Ritchie has shown that he is a force and will be a key cog for the Generals this season.
LUKE
TORRANCE
The over-ager from Oshawa has been a familiar face in the Gens locker room, not afraid to help the team out in any role that might be needed. Torrance has spent his entire OHL career with the Gens currently playing in his fourth season with the team.
LUCA MARRELLI
A mobile defenceman for the Generals Marrelli was drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the third round of last year’s draft. Marrelli has gotten off to a hot start this year leading the team in both goals and points.
The last member of the 2024/25 leadership group is Matthew Buckley. The forward is in his fourth season as a General and has carried his strong play from last season into this year.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME
WRITTEN BY: CARTER SMITH

OSTER’S STEADY START
WRITTEN BY: TOMAS MORGAN
Jacob Oster has been a steady force in the Generals’ net this season after an incredible 2023-24 campaign in which he won OHL Goaltender of the Year. He played 60 games, posting a record of 35-16-7, with a .905 SV% and 2.82 GAA.
So far this season, he has matched the SV %, but his GAA overage has risen to 3.10. But that is nothing to worry about. Oster has looked comfortable in his net and has faced the third most shots in the OHL this season. Once the Generals clean up their defensive zone play, Oster’s numbers will move toward last season.
Fans should get used to Oster in the net, as he will start a hefty amount of games for the Generals this year. He has already played 11 of the first 14 games, and with Noah Bender being traded to Flint, Oster and Isaac Gravelle are left as the tandem for the Generals.
The netminder is in his final OHL season and is the backbone of a team with OHL cup aspirations after losing to the London Knights in the finals last season. He is the cousin of Florida Panther Matthew Tkachuk, who dealt with similar adversity in his NHL career.
Tkachuk reached the Stanley Cup finals in 2023 before being swept by the Vegas Golden Knights, similar to the Generals and Oster last season. The Panthers returned to the final the following season (2024), taking down the Edmonton Oilers in seven games. Perhaps Tkachuk shared some advice that could help Oster and the Generals in their quest for the J. Ross Robertson Cup.
“Matthew has mentioned before that the most important part of hockey is always having fun. Whatever you find most enjoyable about the game, continuously do it. You play your best, and you’re most effective when you are having fun, which is something he taught me at a young age,” says Oster.
Catch Oster in action the rest of the season at the Tribute Communities Centre as he spends his overage year with a Generals logo on his chest and a hunger to finish what he started.
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.
