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
Outside of a tightly contested Game 2 this series has been one sided in the way of the Kingston Frontenacs who hold a 3-0 series lead.
Kingston started the series off with a big 4-1 win at home, a place that has been that they have been seen great success over the entire regular season and that has since carried over to the playoffs.
Game 2 the Sudbury Wolves tried to make it a series as they pushed it all the way to double overtime before the Kingston Frontenacs broke their hearts and won it.
The series took a trip north to Sudbury and the series continued on much like the first two games as the Fronts took a 3-0 lead.
Kingston has their first chance to make it to the second round as they head to Sudbury for Game 3.
The road ahead for the Wolves does not get any easier. If they are to get back in the win column in Game Four, they have to go back to Kingston where their rink has been a fortress for the Frontenacs.

WESTERN CONFERENCE
This series has been a tale of the road team as every game so far has been won by the visiting team after Saginaw went to Erie and won in overtime.
It is the battle of the 4 vs 5 seeds in the Western Conference and these two have been battling for home ice advantage most of the season.
After the battle to be the home team it has proven to be no help as the team that has made the trip has gone on to win all the games. It started in Games One and Two with the Otters going to Saginaw followed up by the Spirit stole one back in overtime.
Erie has shown that they have the ability to put the puck in the net throughout their lineup, from the top line that has made its presence know, or some of the depth guys that have added the key contributions they have needed to take the series lead.
Saginaw has battled back to steal a crucial win in Game Thee of this First Round matchup after dropping the first two games at home.
After Saginaw blew the lead late in Game 3 and the momentum very much on the Otters side it was Zayne Parekh scoring his second of the game to win it for the Spirit and rejuvenate the team’s morale.
The Otters remain on home ice for Game 4 a place that no team has had success yet, but Erie looks to change that and go put themselves one game away from elimination.

OSHAWA VS BRAMPTON
WRITTEN BY: ALEX CHAMPAGNE
The stage is set for an exciting first-round showdown as the Oshawa Generals prepare to battle the Brampton Steelheads in the OHL Playoffs. Finishing fourth in the Eastern Conference with a commanding 41-21-4-2 record and 88 points, the Generals have proven they’re a force to be reckoned with. But Brampton, sitting just behind in fifth with a 36-22-10-0 record and 82 points, is ready to challenge them every step of the way.
These two teams have been neck-and-neck all season, splitting their regular-season series with two wins apiece. With momentum, rivalry, and a ticket to the next round on the line, this matchup is shaping up to be a good one.
The team’s first meeting of the season was on home ice in mid-December when the Oshawa Generals secured a 3-2 victory in a hard-fought battle at home, marking Anthony Figliomeni’s OHL debut. Brampton struck first with a goal from Captain Luke Misa, but Oshawa responded with two quick goals, Luke Torrance’s 13th of the season and a net-front finish from Beckett Sennecke. Jack Van Volsen tied it up for the Steelheads in the final minute of the first. A scoreless second period saw Jacob Oster stand tall with 20 saves, keeping the game even heading into the third. Three minutes in, Captain Ben Danford fired home the game-winner, with Figliomeni recording his first OHL point on the play.
Brampton snapped Oshawa’s five-game win streak with a 4-2 victory in their second meeting of the season at the TCC in mid-February. The Steelheads struck first, with Mason Zebeski opening the scoring five minutes into the game. The action ramped up in the second, as Porter Martone extended Brampton’s lead on the power play before Beckett Sennecke and Ben Danford responded quickly to tie the game, marking Sennecke’s 200th career OHL point. In the third, Troy Patton put Brampton back in front, and despite Oshawa’s late push, they couldn’t find the equalizer. Jack Van Volsen’s empty-netter sealed the win for the Steelheads.
Oshawa fell 4-2 to Brampton for the second time this season in a late February matchup at the CAA Centre. The game started slow, with Brampton’s Konnor Smith breaking the deadlock in the final minutes of the first. The teams traded chances in the second before Luca D’Amato tied it for Oshawa, but Brampton quickly regained the lead with Jack Van Volsen’s goal. In the third, Carson Rehkopf extended Brampton’s lead before D’Amato struck again to keep the Gens in it. Oshawa pulled Jacob Oster for the extra attacker, but Angus MacDonell’s empty-netter in the final seconds sealed the Steelheads’ 4-2 win.
In their final meeting of the season at the beginning of March, Oshawa dominated in Brampton winning 4-0 to tie the season series. The Generals came out strong, with Noah Powell scoring just 16 seconds into the game and Owen Griffin adding another goal late in the first, giving Oshawa a 2-0 lead. The second period saw Jacob Oster make several key saves while Griffin extended the lead with a power-play goal, making it 3-0. In the third, Powell netted his second of the night, sealing a 4-0 victory. The Steelheads couldn’t respond, and Oster earned his third shutout of the season to secure the win.
With both teams having shown their strengths throughout the season, this first-round playoff matchup between the Oshawa Generals and Brampton Steelheads is set to be an intense and closely contested series. The Generals have the edge in the standings and momentum after their dominant 4-0 win in their final meeting, but Brampton’s resilience and ability to snap Oshawa’s win streak earlier in the season show they are more than capable of challenging the top seed. With everything on the line, fans can expect thrilling hockey and a series that could go the distance. The battle for the next round starts now, and both teams are ready to leave it all on the ice.

PREVIEW GAME DAY
WRITTEN BY: TOMAS MORGAN
The Oshawa Generals are back home and are looking to close out their round one series against Brampton tonight.
Oshawa stormed into Brampton after splitting the first two games at home, and stole both games on the road, winning 7-5 and 4-1. The top three scoring forwards in the regular season–Beckett Sennecke, Colby Barlow and Calum Ritchie–combined for 10 points in the two road games and were also key contributors on the other side of the puck.
Brampton hope to keep their season alive and force a game six back home. They ran into penalty trouble late in game four preventing them from garnering a potential comeback. The Steelheads will have to stay disciplined inside a loud Tribute Communities Centre which was rocking games one and two.
Game 4 picked up pretty much right were Game 3 ended as the Oshawa Generals kept the offence rolling early and took a 4-1 win in the road in Brampton opening up a 3-1 series lead.
The Gens got things going in the first as Beckett Sennecke scored to make it 1-0, then in the second period he would grab another going hard to the net tucking in a nice pass from Colby Barlow for a 2-0 lead.
Before the end of the period the Steelheads would get one back through their captain Porter Martone. Oshawa would retore their two-goal lead before the end of the frame as Luke Torrance got to the front of the net and buried it to make it 3-1 Gens.
In the third it was a lone empty net goal from Owen Griffin who put the game to rest giving Oshawa a 4-1-lead.

Beckett Sennecke scores two goals and helps lead the Oshawa Generals to 4-1 win in game four against Brampton.
The Generals now lead the series 3-1 and will try to clinch a second round berth Friday night on home ice.
Brampton was unable to convert on their first two power play chances in the first period, giving the Generals some momentum off the penalty kill. Oshawa converted late in the frame to take a 1-0 lead at the 17:31 mark. A spinning cross ice pass from Calum Ritchie found Beckett Sennecke on the back door, who made no mistake, burying the puck into the yawning cage.
In the second period, it was Oshawa that continued to dominate the home team. Sennecke scored his second of the game on a silky give and go play with Colby Barlow at the 1:39 mark.
Porter Martone netted a power play marker to cut the lead back to one, but Luke Torrance scored with 37 seconds left in the frame to send the Generals up two into period number three, 3-1.
Oshawa played a hard checking third period, limiting the Steelheads’ chances leading to a 4-1 win following Owen Griffin’s empty net goal.

BEYOND THE STATS:
THE INSPIRING STORY OF NOAH POWELL
WRITTEN BY: ALEX CHAMPAGNE
Noah Powell’s journey to the Oshawa Generals has been anything but ordinary. At 20 years old, the Chicago native is making his mark in the OHL after a mid-season move from Ohio State. With nine goals and 13 assists in 28 games, Powell has quickly become a key piece of the Generals’ offensive lineup. But beyond the stats and highlight-reel moments, Powell’s story is one of resilience, determination, and overcoming adversity.
Diagnosed with bilateral hearing loss in kindergarten, Powell’s early years weren’t without challenges. He recalls a moment that led to his diagnosis, a schoolyard misunderstanding that ended in a suspension. “I mean, I can’t actually tell the story of how I found out… but I just couldn’t hear at school,” Powell laughs. After the incident, doctors confirmed his hearing loss, and he was fitted with hearing aids. However, adapting to them wasn’t always smooth sailing. “I lost my hearing aids, my dog ate one… I was like eight years old with $3,000 technology,” he recalls.
Despite these obstacles, Powell never let his hearing loss slow him down on the ice. He started playing hockey at four years old, drawn to the game simply because he wanted to try it. From youth leagues to the USHL, where he put up an impressive 74 points in his final season with Dubuque, to being drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the fifth round of the 2024 NHL Draft, Powell’s talent has spoken for itself.
While Powell knows American Sign Language (ASL) after taking it for three years in school, he primarily relies on reading lips to communicate. “I wouldn’t say I’m great at ASL, and I don’t use it much because there aren’t many people to sign with,” he explains. Instead, he has developed strong lip-reading skills, which help him both on and off the ice.
On the ice, his hearing loss does present unique challenges. “Hearing people is hard,” he admits. “It’s tough to hear coaches on the bench and teammates on the ice. I’m basically playing deaf.” He used to wear over-the-ear hearing aids but has since switched to in-ear versions, which help but aren’t a perfect solution. “I actually haven’t worn them in like eight months,” he adds.
His teammates and even referees have shown immense support. “After Kingston, the officials came up to me and said, ‘If anything happens, just let us know.’ That was really nice,” he says. As for teammates? “Everyone’s pretty chill.”
When reflecting on his favorite hockey memory, Powell quickly recalls scoring a hat trick on his birthday in Iowa, a standout moment in his already impressive career. Growing up, he idolized players like Alex Ovechkin, Jonathan Toews, and Patrick Kane, stars who dominated in the city where he fell in love with the game.
Now, Powell is writing his own story in Oshawa, proving that no obstacle, on or off the ice, can hold him back.
