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
KINGSTON FRONTENACS
Kingston leads the Eastern Conference with 34 points and has been hot in November. The Frontenacs have a 10-2-0-0 record this month and show no signs of slowing down. They are on a three-game winning streak since losing to the Generals on November 17th. With five players over a point per game, their offence has been clicking on all cylinders. Jacob Battaglia, Cedrick Guindon, and Tuomas Uronen all have over 30 points and are among the top 20-point leaders in OHL. Only the Niagara IceDogs also have three players in the top 20. They’re second in the league in goals and still have managed to keep the puck out of the net effectively with only 73 goals against, which is second-best in the Eastern Conference.
BRAMPTON STEELHEADS
CENTRAL DIVISION
The Steelheads are a high-scoring middle-of-the-pack team that has not been able to outscore its defensive issues in every game. Projected first overall pick in the 2025 NHL entry draft, Porter Martone has been leading the charge with 47 points in 21 games. The 18-year-old Peterborough, ON, native shows no signs of slowing down along with his linemate Carson Rehkopf who is second on the team and is tied for fourth in league scoring. Brampton will have to clean up their special teams if they want to move up the ladder as they have a 17.1 % powerplay and 70.7% penalty kill.

WESTERN CONFERENCE LONDON KNIGHTS
MIDWEST DIVISION
London is the best team in the OHL currently with 38 points and a record of 19-4-0-0. They have yet to lose a game in November and are on a 15 game winning streak dating back to October 18th. But that is not the most impressive streak in the organization. Easton Cowan has gone 365 days with a point as of Monday, November 25th. Although the CHL is not going to formally recognize the feat if he passes Mario Lemieux (61 game point streak) it is still an unbelievable accomplishment. They will be a force to be reckoned with all season long.
FLINT FIREBIRDS
WEST DIVISION
Flint sits tied for last in the West Division with the Sarnia Sting with 21 points, the Firebirds have a record of 10-13-0-1. It has been the special teams hurting Flint up to this point as they sit second last in the OHL in both powerplay percentage and penalty kill percentage. Christopher Thibodeau leads the team in points and assists so far this season with 19 points, including 14 assists, but there are no firebirds playing at a point per game pace as of yet. Goaltending has also been a problem as both goalies on their roster are allowing more than three goals a game on less than a .900 SV%.

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: TOMAS MORGAN
The Generals will host the Bulldogs tonight as well as their fifth annual Pride Night inside the TCC. Oshawa is coming off a win at home against Sudbury on Sunday and looks to keep it rolling tonight.
The last time these two teams met, Oshawa collapsed in the third period after taking a major penalty, resulting in a five-minute penalty kill in which the Bulldogs scored three goals to tie the game and force overtime. The game was ultimately decided in the shootout, where Oshawa missed all three shots and lost their first game in a shootout of the season.
The Generals hope to bounce back from that loss and beat Brantford. To do so, they will have to stay disciplined and ensure they stay out of the penalty box. Oshawa is 1-2 against Brantford, with the only win coming on home ice. They can keep the trend alive with a win tonight.
RECAP LAST GAME
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24TH
WRITTEN BY: TOMAS MORGAN
The Oshawa Generals returned home to end the weekend and faced off against the Sudbury Wolves. They started the game on the right foot just under four minutes in. A nice tic-tac-toe passing play was finished off by Colby Barlow in the slot, finding the top left corner and taking a 1-0 lead.
At the period’s halfway mark, Luca Marrelli scored an insurance goal, rocketing a shot bar down from the top of the circles. Torrance nabbed the secondary assist on the goal and clinched his 100th career OHL point. But Sudbury spoiled the celebration by getting back within one on a Quintin Musty five-hole goal.
Later in the frame, Beckett Sennecke undressed a Sudbury defender before feeding Owen Griffin, who made no mistake and gave the Generals a 3-1 lead heading into the first intermission.
No goals were scored in the second, and Sudbury broke the deadlock 4:36 into the third period to make it 3-2. But Luca D’Amato sealed the deal, scoring an empty netter late in the third to win the game 4-2.
PRIDE JERSEY
Keenan is a transgender artist and graphic design student whose artwork is feature permanently at the Scotiabank Arena.
This jersey carries a lot of meaning for the artist, “The jersey design shows the connection between pride and protest. I wanted to include as many aspects of the LGBTQ+ community as possible. The banner at the bottom of the jersey shows the celebration of pride and accomplishments within the community. The pride tape on the arms ties together hockey and the important battles that are at the forefront of our fight for inclusivity.”
It is through his designs that he is able to express what is going on in the pride community, while finding ways to connect it to hockey.
“Hockey has always been an inspiration for me,” said the artist. “And although I never played it, connecting it to drawing/art allowed me to feel closer to the sport. I started off by copying hockey cards from my collection (a Darcy Tucker card to be specific) as a child and never stopped creating. I find it easier to create art from what I know and love and hockey always gave me that.”
Keenan has always found that hockey is something he can turn too even if it is not to create his beautiful art.
“I always say that I was put into a Leafs’ jersey before my first diaper. It’s always been a part of my family and our time together,” Said Cass. “Even through tough times, hockey was the one thing we could always come together for. My wife and I even wore hockey jerseys at our wedding, it’s a part of everything in my life now.”
The Oshawa Generals are hosting their fifth annual Pride Night as they will be donning jerseys designed by pride artist Cass Keenan.
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.
