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
As the 2024/25 playoff season begins, the stage has been set, and in the Eastern Conference, the Barrie Colts and the Niagara IceDogs are gearing up for faceoff in the first round. The first game is set to be played on Thursday, March 27th, in Barrie, and these teams have been preparing all season long. The Colts ended the regular season first in the Central division and second place in the East. They collected a total of 42 wins and 88 points. The IceDogs are coming in as the underdog in this series, finishing 7th in the East and 4th in the Central Division, with 29 wins and 66 points.
These teams have faced each other six times in the regular season, where the Colts took five of the six games. In their last meet up, the Colts outdid the IceDogs in an 8-1 win, setting the tone for the upcoming battle in playoffs. The IceDogs have shown promise throughout the first half of the season but struggled to keep that up in the second half as they haven’t recorded a win since Marc 1st against the London Knights.
Going into round one of the playoffs, both teams have produced stand-out players to watch. Starting with the IceDog’s Ryan Roobroek, who has spent the last two seasons in Niagara, putting up high numbers across the board. He currently leads the team with 41 goals and 46 assists and will be a crucial piece to the playoff picture. Kevin He is another top contender to watch as he follows behind Roobroek with 36 goals (two of them being shorthanded) and 39 assists. The IceDogs will most likely use goaltender Owen Flores as a starter throughout the series, as he ended the regular season with a 0.899 save percentage and 24 wins.
On the other hand, looking at the Colts, they also have a few players who have stood out this season. Kashawn Aitcheson has been a rounded performer this season with 26 goals and 33 assists and has been a fan-favourite in Barrie. Riley Patterson has been a leader as well, with 34 assists and 35 goals. The Colts have relied on both their goaltenders, Ben Hrebik and Sam Hillebrandt, and have seen success from both.
The series will be an exciting and physical matchup between these two teams, and according to the past records, the Colts could take the series win, but the IceDogs are still in the fight and could upset the Colts.

WESTERN CONFERENCE
The 2024/25 playoffs season is underway, and the matches have been set in the Western Conference. The Windor Spitfires and the Sault. S.t Marie (Soo) Greyhounds are set to take to the ice on Thursday, March 27t,h in Windsor for the first game of round 1. The Spitfires have had a successful season ending it with 45 wins and 96 points, as well as finishing first in the West division. On the other hand, the Greyhounds will enter the playoffs as the underdog, finishing 4th in the West division with a total of 29 wins and 62 points.
These teams have met six times in the regular season, where the Spitfires took control for most of the season with a record of 4-1-1-0. The Greyhounds were not too far behind, but in their last meeting on March 13th, the Spitfires won 6-3. The Greyhounds went on a hot streak at the end of the season, winning their last five games, and could carry that energy into the first round.
Going into round one of the playoffs both of these teams have players to keep an eye on in round one. The Spitfires points leader, Ilya Protas, is currently second in the league with 124 points, 50 goals and an impressive 71 assists. Not only is he going to be important for scoring in round one, but his ability to generate chances is vital to the Spitfires’ play. Liam Greentree is closely behind Protas with 119 points and third in the OHL; he will also be a crucial part of this team’s success. Spitfires goaltender Joey Costanzo finished the season with a 0.892 save percentage, and the Spitfires will look to him to stand in the net.
The Greyhounds have come a long way this season with some dedicated and top-scoring players. Marco Mignosa has been a key player for the Soo, totalling 85 points in the regular season with 36 goals and 49 assists. Another player to watch is Brady Martin, who has not only been putting up numbers across the board but has 8 power-play goals going into the playoffs. The Greyhounds have two potential goaltenders, Nolan Lalonde and Landon Mille,r who have both been strong netminders in the last few games and can hopefully help the Greyhounds against a top-scoring team.
The Spitfires are walking into round one with the highest odds of winning, but the Greyhounds could come out on top if they’re well prepared.

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: CARTER SMITH
The Oshawa Generals look to build on a big 7-4 Game One win over the Brampton Steelheads.
Oshawa came out firing in Game One, showing that their offence is not to be messed with scoring four goals in the opening frame.
It was not the start Brampton was looking for to open their playoffs. The Eastern Conference’s leading goal scoring team took a while to start putting the puck in the net, falling into a hole they could not dig out of.
Game One was the Colby Barlow show as the Gens Forward scored a hat trick while also grabbing an assist in a four-point performance.
Barlow got the playoff part started just over a minute into the game going hard to the net and tapping the loose puck in. But just a short while later the steelheads would answer tying things at 1-1.
Oshawa would not let that slow them down as Barlow would grab his second of the game while captain Ben Danford and Brooks Rogowski each found the back of the net giving the Gens a 4-1 lead after one.
In the Second Oshawa kept the pressure on striking for another pair of goals as Barlow Completed the hat trick and Beckett Sennecke got his first of the playoffs making it 6-1 Oshawa.
Closing out the second period Brampton found some life as they struck for two goals in the span of two minutes and one second making it 6-3 Generals.
In the third the Generals and Steelheads traded goals as Oshawa went on to take Game One 7-4 to start the playoffs.
RECAP LAST GAME
FRIDAY, MARCH 28TH
WRITTEN BY: ZAINA RAZEK
The Oshawa Generals started their playoff run tonight against the Brampton Steelheads for game one and were All On Red as they succeeded in taking game one with a 7-4 win.
The first period mattered greatly as the Gens had to set the tone right away. Colby Barlow scored the first goal one minute in assisted by Zackary Sandhu and Luca D’Amato.
Steelheads Angus MacDonell scored one goal past Jacob Oster, but it did not slow the Gens down. The Steelheads started goaltender Jack Ivankovic, and Barlow broke through that wall once again, tipping in the puck after a pass from Simon Wang.
Captain Ben Danford slapped in the puck for the game’s third goal, assisted by Noah Powell and Sandhu. Halfway through the first, the Steelheads were slipping behind, and a slick pass from Ethan Toms to Rookie Brooks Rogowski netted the 4th of the game and his first of the playoffs.
The Gens held off strong for the rest of the period and went into the first intermission up 4-1, and hoped to keep up the same energy in the second.
As soon as the Gens hit the ice for period two, Barlow secured his third goal of the game, getting a hat-trick early in the game on the powerplay. A few minutes later, Anaheim Ducks prospect Beckett Sennecke and Barlow race toward the net, giving Sennecke his first of the playoffs.
The rest of the period, the Steelheads picked up the pace, and were able to generate more chances around Oster. MacDonell netted his second of the game, assisted by Porter Martone.
Before the end of the period, the Steelheads received a powerplay opportunity and were able to capitalize on it with two minutes left to go.
Going into the third, the Gens had to lock in, and they were quick to take over the game until the very end. Two minutes into the period, Sennecke recorded his second of the game on the powerplay.
The rest of the period was a back-and-forth battle, where the Steelheads’ MacDonell managed to record his third of the game and a hat-trick.
The Gens were busy in tonight’s game, setting the tone for the rest of the series, and it will be another tough battle against the Steelheads on Sunday night.
The Gens finished tonight’s match with a 7-4 win and will be back on Sunday night for game two.

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.
