FROM OUR FRONT OFFICE to our fans Dear Generals fans, as we embark on yet another year of hockey, I’m excited for the outlook of our hockey club. This year, the expectations are higher as we continue our search for yet another championship.

This season, we welcome many new and exciting young players along with many returnees, all coming together to make this year very promising.

I wanted to thank all of our loyal fans for all their continued support and I look forward to seeing everyone around the rink soon!

Rocco Tullio President

I want to take this opportunity to welcome all of you to the 2023-2024 Oshawa Generals and the return of OHL hockey after a long summer.

This season will be one of the most competitive campaigns we have had in several years.

The Eastern Conference will be a dog fight, night in and night out. Facing the Ottawa 67’s in the first-round last season, showed us how much the game changes when the playoffs arrive. You must bring it every night. Nothing is given and everything will be earned. Make no mistake, there are no playoffs if you don’t take care of the regular season.

With Derek Laxdal and his staff returning for there second season, they will be more comfortable in this environment and understand with your tremendous support comes expectations. The players playing under them for the second year should have no surprises on the demands and expectations on them. Our scouts have done another tremendous job in identifying talent for us and none more impressive then our 2023 first rounder, Owen Griffin who has begun to earn his way into the hearts of Gens fans, team mates and coaches for years to come.

Our past is certainly something that all our supporters and everyone in our organization is very proud of. This season our entire focus right now is on the present. We want to have the best team possible to challenge for silverware again.

Anything but your best won’t be good enough to make you a member of this Oshawa General’s was the message from training camp to now. This message remains the same.

GO GENS GO !!!!!!

Roger Hunt

Vice President & General Manager

hockey ETIQUETTE 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 AS OF THURSDAY, JANUARY 11TH

PETERBOROUGH PETES - EASTERN DIVISION Peterborough has gone through some transformations not just in their roster, but in their leadership lineup this week. To start with Petes news, former forward Brennan Othmann made his NHL debut with the New York Rangers registering five shots on goal with 12 minutes of play. On the damper side of things, the Petes have not found a win this New Year after three consecutive losses to Sarnia, Flint, and Saginaw. Perhaps their post-trade deadline change-up will help send them in the right direction. Since they acquired former General Ryder McIntyre, they have traded Connor Lockhart, Konnor Smith, Sam McCue, Sam Mayer, Jax Dubois, Owen Beck, and their then-captain, Donovan McCoy. They announced that forward Jonathan Melee would take McCoy’s spot as the 63rd Petes captain and defenceman Cam Gauvreau and forward Tommy Purdeller have both been named assistant captains.

BARRIE COLTS - CENTRAL DIVISION

PHOTO BY: STEVEN ELLIS

The Barrie Colts have had themselves a busy week with a pair of games going in both directions and the trade deadline that kept all of OHL on their toes. To kick off their busy week, 2005 goaltender, Sam Hillebrandt brought home gold from the World Juniors for Team USA, being a Florida native himself. This makes it the third consecutive year that the Colts have had a player bring home gold from the annual tournament. The Colts fell short to London but gained those points back the following night against the SOO when goalie Ben West stood tall in his third straight start stopping 29/30 shots. Barrie was extremely active with trades this week, making deals with the Greyhounds, Generals, IceDogs, Rangers, and the Knights. It will be interesting to see how this team will develop during the latter half of the season, as they sit fourth in the central division and 18th overall.

KITCHENER RANGERS - MIDWEST DIVISION The Rangers currently sit first in their division with 56 points, just one ahead of the London Knights. They wrapped last weekend with a win against North Bay after falling short to a Sudbury Wolves comeback. The Rangers remained fairly quiet this trade season with sending current players out, however, they traded 8 future draft picks with the Colts to add forward Eduard Šalé and defenseman Olivier Savar to their lineup. Earlier this season, Kitchener acquired a couple of future picks in exchange for defenceman Roman Schmidt to the Frontenacs. With four games since the new calendar year, the Rangers have gone 2-2.

PHOTO BY: KITCHENER RANGERS

FLINT FIREBIRDS WEST DIVISION Flint is hanging in the middle of their division’s pack right now, with Saginaw roughly 20 points ahead, and Sarnia trailing just three behind.

Gavin Hayes brought home gold from the World Juniors, being the fourth Firebird to earn first at the tournament, playing in all seven games.

Since the New Year, Flint has, like Kitchener, gone 2-2. One of those losses came from the Generals, as they hit double-digits outscoring the Firebirds 10-2. It should be interesting to see Flint for the next half of the season, and see how close they can get to Saginaw, or if they will eventually fall behind Sarnia or Windsor.

player to watch CONNOR PUNNETT

One of the Generals trade deadline acquisitions the over-age defenceman is a big physical presence that provides offence from the point. With 32 points on the season, he slots in at third place in team scoring and picked up his first point as a Gen in yesterday’s game against the Petes.

game day PREVIEW The Oshawa Generals return home on a four-game win streak after sweeping their road trip to take on the Kingston Frontenacs.

Oshawa comes into this one riding high as they continue to climb the standings in the Eastern Conference taking down Flint, Saginaw, Kingston, and Peterborough to sit in sixth place.

Kingston enters this one having dropped their last game to the Oshawa Generals and are one point behind the Generals in the standings.

Last Meeting: These two teams hit the ice on Friday night where it was the Generals taking down the Frontenacs 3-1.

Oshawa got things going early in that one getting on the board just over a minute and a half into the game through Luke Torrance who batted the puck out of the air and into the net.

Kingston would respond in the second through Gabriel Frasca who tapped in a nice pass for Jacob Battaglia on the power play tying the game at 1-1.

But a pair of Connor Lockhart goals including an empty net put the game to rest as the Gens would ride the lead to the final buzzer.

player to watch

JAX DUBOIS

A new face in the Frontenacs locker room but a familiar one to Gens fans the former Pete has yet to pick up a point in his new colours, but the tall centre had 34 points in 35 games with Peterborough before the trade.

last game RECAP SATURDAY, JANUARY 13

The Oshawa Generals took down their rivals the Peterborough Petes 6-3 for the team’s fourth straight win.

Oshawa had six players with multi-point games including three-point games from Stuart Rolofs and Calum Ritchie, while, newly acquired defenceman Connor Punnett picked up his first point as a General.

It was Noah Bender in net for the Gens making 25 saves on 28 shots as Jacob Oster got the night off.

It took 17 shots in the first period for them to finally find the back of the net, after a point shot from Punnett the puck fell to Rolofs who found Dylan Roobroeck and the big man shot it into the top of the net making it 1-0 Gens.

Peterborough would get on the score sheet to start the second on a powerplay as Brayden McCallum found Caden Taylor for a one-timer that beat Bender tying the game at 1-1. Later in the second, the Gens would answer, just after a four-minute powerplay expired Luca Marrelli would loop around the Petes’ end finding Beckett Sennecke who wristed one into the back of the net making it 2-1 Oshawa. That lead would grow as Rolofs dumped the puck in for Ritchie to chase, the Colorado Avalanche prospect won the battle in the corner and got the puck back to the Gens captain who fired it on net beating the Petes’ goalie and making it 3-1 Oshawa.

Peterborough scored early in the third catching a bounce as the puck hit the boards behind the net finding its way onto the stick of Tommy Purdeller who tapped it in cutting the lead to 3-2 Generals. A few minutes later, Ritchie made a nice backhand pass to Luca D’Amato who toe-dragged a Petes’ player before snapping it into the net for a 4-2 Gens lead.Rasmus Kumpulainen wanted in on the action going hard to the net deflecting a Ben Danford point shot into the net for his first goal since returning for the World Juniors as the lead grew to 5-2 Gens.

The Petes would respond on the powerplay with five minutes to go as a shot was blocked in front of the net and it was Quinton Pagé making a move to the backhand lifting it over a sprawling Bender and cutting the score to 5-3 Oshawa. But with just under two minutes to go Lockhart sprung Ritchie who battled through the Petes’ defenceman before guiding it into the empty net making it 6-3 Generals.

Giving back has always been important to my family and me.

Starting The John Tavares Foundation was something we talked about for a long time, and is something I’m incredibly proud of.

The foundation is centered on coming together to ensure the next generation has access to healthy foods, an understanding of the benefits of movement and increased availability of mental health resources. We hope to positively impact as many children and communities as possible to create a brighter future for everyone.

IN MEMORIAM On July 30th, the entire Oshawa Generals organization and family was devastated with the news of the passing of long-time scout Michael ‘Craiger’ Craig.

Michael unfortunately lost his battle with a rare form of colorectal cancer.

Craiger, as he was known around the rink, was a scout with the Generals’ organization for Eastern Ontario for more than 15 years. He scouted players such as Will Petschenig, Daniel Altshuller, Serron Noel, William Ennis, and current General Matthew Buckley – just to name a few. Michael was also a part of the 2014-2015 Memorial Cup Championship run.

Throughout his career on and off the ice, Michael selflessly helped and assisted so many students, Special Olympic athletes, OHL and minor hockey players – touching and enriching countless lives.

MIKE CRAIG 1976-2023

The entire Oshawa Generals organization continues to send their love to entire Craig family, his students, and all of the players who he crossed paths with.

trio of generals NAMED TO 2024 chl/nhl top prospects game

In partnership with the Ontario Hockey League and Canadian Hockey League, the Oshawa Generals are proud to announce Generals forward Beckett Sennecke, and Generals defencemen Ben Danford and Luca Marrelli have been named to the 2024 Kubota CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game on January 24th, in Moncton., N.B. In the preliminary NHL Central Scouting rankings back in October, Sennecke received an ‘A’ rating (projecting to be a first-round selection), while Danford and Marrelli received a ‘B’ rating (projecting a 2nd/3rd-round selection).

Sennecke, the Toronto, Ont., native was one of the Generals’ first-round picks in the 2022 OHL Priority Selection, taken eighth overall. In his rookie season a year ago, Sennecke finished second in league rookie scoring, behind only exceptional status player Michael Misa of the Saginaw Spirit.

Danford, from Madoc, Ont., was the Generals’ second first-round pick in the 2022 draft, after receiving a compensatory pick for a previous non-committed pick. Danford was selected 11th overall at the OHL Priority selection. In his rookie campaign, Danford appeared in 63 games for the Generals, scoring four times and adding 17 assists from the blue line.

Rounding out the trio of teammates representing the Generals is defenceman Luca Marrelli. The Toronto, Ont., native was taken in the 5th round, 81st overall at the 2021 OHL Priority Selection. As a late birthday, Marrelli has now played two full seasons with the Generals. In 2021-2022, his rookie year, Marrelli appeared in 62 games and tallied 12 assists. Last season, he played in 58 games, but scored five goals and added 23 assists for 28 points.

TAKES ON WORLD JUNIORS

The Oshawa Generals are proud to announce that a member of our stellar forward core, Rasmus Kumpulainen, has been selected on Team Finland’s final roster for the World Junior Hockey Championship (WJHC) in Sweden.

The Finnish Ice Hockey Association announced the final team roster after the World Cup camp period. Kumpulainen will be wearing #18.

The Lahti, Fin., native has been an offensive force for the Generals during the first half of the season. Meeting 27 games with 27 overall points, he has acquired 14 goals and 13 assists.

Before joining the Generals via the 13th overall selection at the 2023 CHL Import Draft, Kumpulainen had his NHL dreams come true.

On June 29th, Kumpulainen heard his named called at the 2023 NHL Entry Draft in Nashville, Tenn. The Minnesota Wild selected the 6.02 centre with the 53rd pick in the 2nd round.

Internationally, Kumpulainen has represented Finland on three other occasions. In 2021-2022 he made 13 appearances for his country at the U17 level. At the 2022 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, Kumpulainen appeared in five games, and scored five points by way of two goals and three assists. Finally, Kumpulainen has made six appearances with the Finnish U20 team, adding four assists to his international resume. All in all, Kumpulainen has made 40 appearances dawning his Finnish flag, scoring 10 goals and 15 assists.

“Ras being selected to play for Finland is an absolute credit to him as a player and the work the coaches have put into his season so far,” said team General Manager Roger Hunt. “I think him playing in North America will certainly enhance his opportunities with the Minnesota Wild and we wish him all the best with this opportunity but can’t wait to see him in the second half of the season for the Gens.”

The Oshawa Generals organization would like to congratulate our very own and wish him the best as he competes for gold.
