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

EASTERN CONFERENCE
SUDBURY WOLVES
BRANTFORD BULLDOGS
The Wolves are 4-3-3 in their last ten games and are a middle-of-the-pack team, both, in the Central Division and Eastern Conference. Quintin Musty’s return the past eight games has bolstered the Wolves’ offence. He has registered 14 points (5 goals, 9 assists), tied for fourth most on the team while playing less than half the number of games. Goaltender Nate Krawchuk has supplied great goaltending for the team with a .911 SV% and 2.89 GAA. He is a big reason why Sudbury’s penalty kill is the best in the OHL, 86.9%. With Musty back in the lineup and the Wolves being one of the best defensive teams in the Eastern Conference, look for them to catch fire. EAST
Brantford has been an average team in November. They have been hovering around .500 all month and have not strung many wins together this season, with their longest winning streak being just three games. Their lack of depth scoring has hurt them. Forwards Nick Lardis (20 goals, 9 assists), Patrick Thomas (7 goals, 22 assists) and Jake O’Brien (10 goals, 14 assists) have carried the load so far this season. Their powerplay has struggled, clicking at just 19%. If they plan to compete with some of the better teams in the East division, their powerplay and goal differential will have to improve.

GUELPH STORM
MIDWEST DIVISION
Guelph has struggled mightily this season. Their goaltending has been near the bottom of the league all season, as shown in their goal differential (minus 27). They are also bottom five in goals for this season. The Storm are yet to have a player reach the 20-point mark, with Washington Capitals 2023 fifth-round pick Cam Allen leeading the team with 17 points in 19 games. The rebuilding Storm have a brutal end to the month, with two of three games against Kitchener and Niagara. Expect their struggles to continue into December and the new year.
ERIE OTTERS
Currently 2nd in their division, Saginaw is the best offensive team in OHL. The Spirit have been out-scoring their defensive issues with at least five goals in 12 of their 21 games this season. Michael Misa is the best goal-scorer in the league, having scored 23 goals thus far. The exceptional status talent has taken the league by storm, and no one has an answer. Christian Eperson has built great chemistry with Misa and continues to tally up assists, with 22 this season. However, they must shore up their defensive play to become a legit contender.

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 the Tribute Communities Centre to take on the Sudbury Wolves in the final game of a three-game weekend.
The Gens split the first two games of the weekend dropping a tough one Friday night before taking down the Attack in Owen Sound on Saturday. Oshawa sits second in both the East Division and Eastern Conference with a 14-8-1-1 record.
Sudbury comes to town one of the hottest teams in the league picking up points in each of their last five games. The Wolves will hope to hold the Generals high powered offence at bay as they bolster the best penalty kill unit in the league.
This is the first time that the Gens will faceoff against the Wolves this season, with their last meeting being a 5-1 Oshawa win to clinch the Eastern Conference in the final game of last years regular season.
After a slow start to the game the Generals figured it out in the second period scoring twice in the frame as Matthew Buckley scored his 30th of the season before Calum Ritchie made it 2-0 Gens.
Oshawa would add another one to start the third as Ritchie grabbed his second of the game. Sudbury would get one back cutting the lead to 3-1 but Dylan Roobroeck would net a pair of goals putting the game to rest.
RECAP LAST GAME
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23RD
WRITTEN
BY:
TOMAS MORGAN
The Generals beat Owen Sound 4-3 tonight with only 10 forwards and six defensemen. After an eventful Friday night, Oshawa was forced to dress an incomplete squad with Harrisson Franssen and Tyler O’Toole out.
Colby Barlow received a video tribute during the first period of play in his return to the Bayshore. Barlow captained Owen Sound for two seasons and is the sixth-highest goal scorer in franchise history, behind names such as Bobby Ryan, Nick Suzuki, and Andrew Brunette. He would look to make a statement in the game.
The Generals outplayed the Attack in the first period with 19 shots to their 8. Yet the score after 20 minutes was 1-1. A goal from Ethan Toms was followed up just three minutes later by Sam McCue.
Owen Sound took the lead just before the midway mark of the second period on another Sam McCue goal, this time on the powerplay. Later in the frame, Calum Ritchie found Luke Torrance out front, who buried his second in as many nights.
With just over two minutes left to play in period two, Beckett Sennecke head manned the puck up to Barlow for a breakaway, who made no mistake, beating his former teammate with a backhand forward deke. The Generals led 3-2 for just 90 seconds as the Attack tied it late to send the game to intermission tied 3-3.
The Generals would score the lone goal in the third period. Calum Ritchie’s pass took a lucky bounce off of the Owen Sound defender and made its way into the back of the net. In the game’s last two minutes, Oshawa hung on with the goalie pulled and got back into the win column, 4-3.
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.

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.
