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 chl AS OF THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH

SHERBROOKE PHOENIX - QMJHL

A year removed from their 50-win season, the Sherbrooke Phoenix are near the top of the Western Conference standings yet again. After 17 games, the Phoenix are 10-6-0-1 and third in the conference with 21 points. They’ve cooled off a bit in their last 10 games, with just a 6-40-0 record over that stretch but are most recently coming off a big 7-3 win over the Saint John Sea Dogs. The key to their success so far has been goaltender Samuel St-Hilaire. In 12 games, the 04-born netminder leagues the QMJHL in goals against average at just 1.90. Hi save percentage of .930 is also in the top-three, behind the Rouyn-Norand Huskies’ William Rousseau and Halifax’s Mathis Rousseau. Up front, winger Israel Mianscum leads the Phoenix with 25 points in 15 games. PHOTO BY: VINCENT L-ROUSSEAU

CAPE BRETON EAGLES - QMJHL A team moving in the opposite direction of the Tigres would be the 2022 Memorial Cup champion, Saint John Sea Dogs. A year removed from the Championship hangover season where the Sea Dogs finished 24-38-5-1, the Sea Dogs find themselves again near the bottom of the standings. After 14 games this year, Saint John shares last place honours with Val-d’Or at just 11 points. Their 4-7-1-2 record has a lot to do with their inability to score goals. They have the fewest goals for in the entire QMJHL, scoring at a rate of just 2.85 goals per game. Overage forward Peter Reynolds has been the diamond in the rough for Saint John. The Columbus Blue Jackets prospect leads the team with 17 points. PHOTO BY: MIKE SULLIVAN

EVERETT SILVERTIPS - WHL Known as one of the top franchises in the WHL, the Everett Silvertips find themselves in the middle of the Western Conference and U.S. Division – but not by much. After 17 games, the Silvertips are 9-7-1-0 with 19 points, just four points behind the division leading Portland Winterhawks and five back of the league-leading Prince George Cougars. The Silvertips have dropped their last two games to the Swift Current Broncos and Medicine Hat Tigers 4-1. Before the back-to-back losses, they did go 4-0-1-0. The Silvertips are led by import forward, Dominik Rymon. The Czechia native has nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points in 17 games, four points more than the next closest Silvertip. PHOTO BY: EVAN MORUD


TRI-CITY AMERICANS - WHL Another U.S. Division staple, the Tri City Americans, are rolling the last week in the WHL. The Americans have won three-in-a-row and have points in seven of their last 10 games played. On their current streak, the Americans have taken down the Vancouver Giants, Spokane Chiefs, and Kelowna Rockets, outscoring opponents 12-7. Things are likely to get even better for the Americans, as they’re next two games are also in the friendly confines of the Toyota Centre. In nine games so far at home, the Americans are 7-1-0-1, grabbing 15 of a possible 18 points. Offense comes in waves for the Americans as well, as they have five skaters with double-digit points. The group of five are led by Jordan Gavin’s 16 points. The Surrey, B.C., native has six goals and 10 assists in 16 games. PHOTO BY: JOHN KELLER

BARRIE COLTS - OHL A hot start by the Barrie Colts must feel like ages ago for fans in Barrie. After starting the season 3-1-0-0, the Central Division Colts are a disappointing 3-7-0-0 since and just 6-8-0-0 overall on the year. Caught in their slump, the Colts have dropped back-to-back games, 4-2 to the Frontenacs and most recently an 8-3 drubbing at the hands of the Ottawa 67’s. Despite their record, the Colts have shown they can compete with some of the top teams this year, as showcased when they beat the Mississauga Steelheads 6-1. The Colts find most of their offense through centre, Beau Jelsma. In 14 games, the Brownsville, Ont., native has 15 points, via five goals and 10 assists. They’re getting help from their blueline as well, as overage defenseman Connor Punnett has put up 13 points of his own in 14 games. PHOTO BY: COLLIN JENNINGS

KITCHENER RANGERS - OHL Last season, they salvaged what should have been a runaway season with an 8th seed finish, and a massive first round upset against the Windsor Spitfires. This season, the Kitchener Rangers are at the top of the OHL looking down. The Rangers have a record of 12-5-0-0 after 17 games. Usually this is where we tell you where their success comes from, but honestly, for the Rangers it comes from everywhere. Currently, the top three scorers in the OHL are all Kitchener Rangers, led by Carson Rehkopf’s 32 points in 17 games. Matthew Sop’s 28 points and defenceman Hunter Brzustewicz 28 points round out the top three. Overall, the Rangers have scored a league-high 82 goals in 17 games, eight more than the Soo Greyhound’s 74 goals. On the backend, four of their eight rostered defenceman are NHL prospects, now that Roman Schmidt has been returned by the Tampa Bay Lightning. PHOTO BY: AMELIA WILLSON

game day PREVIEW The Oshawa Generals return to the Tribute Communities Centre as they face the Ottawa 67’s for the second time in as many nights. It is Military Appreciation Night as the Generals seek revenge for last night’s loss in Ottawa. The Gens had their two-game winning streak snapped but are returning home where the team has a 6-3 record. Ottawa comes into this game riding a three-game win streak and sit in second place in the East Division with a 9-4-1-0 record for 19 points just one off first place.

Last Meeting: The last meeting for these two was the last game each team played. The Generals went into the Capital and got sent home with a 4-1 loss. It was Noah Bender’s second start of the season and after Matthew Buckley scored his team-leading ninth goal on a one-timer things were looking good. But after Ottawa tied the game at one with just over a minute and a half less in the first period the 67’s would go on to score three more unanswered to snap the Gens mini two-game win streak.

player to watch CONNOR LOCKHART

The newest Oshawa Generals player had a debut to remember finding his way onto the score sheet four times with a goal and three assists. The over ager from Kanata has 11 points in nine games to start the season and looks to build on what seems to have been a smooth transition into the team.


player to watch

LUCA PINELLI

With 14 goals and 19 points so far this season the centre from Stoney Creek leads his team in both categories and is tied for second in the league’s goal race. The Columbus Blue Jackets prospect has been able to find the back of the net whether it’s even strength or on the power play.


last game RECAP FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10

Both the 67’s and Generals came into tonight winners of back-to-back, but it was the Ottawa 67’s who got to extend their winning streak to three games with a 4-1 win. The game got started with both teams clearly feeling each other out – a few shots each on some back-and-forth rushes. Just a few minutes into the period, 67’s captain had a handful of chances in tight on Generals goaltender Noah Bender, but the rookie netminder stood tall and stopped all of them. Tonight’s game marked just his second-ever OHL start. Shortly after his goalie kept the score 0-0, Matthew Buckley showed off his new-found Ovechkin impression and hammered home a one-timer passed 67’s goalie Collin MacKenzie. The goal was Buckley’s team-leading ninth of the year. The first period pressure continued from the Generals, as the 67’s continuously struggled to clear safely out of their own zone. Multiple giveaways led to really high-scoring opportunities for the Generals, inevitably stopped by MacKenzie. With only two minutes remaining in the frame, Will Gerrior had one of the best solo efforts you could have, undressing both Ryder McIntyre and Noah Bender to even the score 1-1. At the end of 20 minutes, the score stayed tied 1-1 while the Gens narrowly outshot the home team 8-7. It wasn’t until midway through the second period that we’d see another goal. A puck thrown onto Noah Bender squeaked through his pads but was thankfully cleared by a defender on the line. After cleared off the line, the puck was cycled back up to 67’s captain Luca Pinelli who roofed it passed a screened Bender. His 12th of year gave Ottawa a 2-1 lead. Despite the momentum swinging fully the way of the 67’s, Bender stood his ground to keep the score close and his Generals still in it. After 40 minutes, the 67’s led 2-1 and outshot the Generals 19-12. The third period opened with the Generals forcing a shorthanded breakaway. A giveaway by the 67’s defenceman gave leading goal-scorer Matthew Buckley a break, but he wasn’t able to beat MacKenzie. The other way, after a 67’s dump-in, Bender came out to play the puck behind his own net, putting it right on the stick of Pinelli, who would bury it on a wrap-around for goal two on the night. His 13th of the season gave the 67’s some insurance, extending their lead to 3-1. Pinelli would complete the hat-trick off a nifty move down the wing, grabbing a puck off the back boards, and deking around Noah Bender. Pinelli’s second hat-trick in as many games gave the 67’s a 4-1 lead with less than 12 minutes to go in the third period. With a three-goal lead, the 67’s were able to tighten things all the way up, and hold on for a 4-1 victory, outshooting the Generals 26-24.

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.

owen griffin + isaac gravelle

NAMED TO TEAM CANADA FOR U17s Generals forward Owen Griffin, and goaltending prospect Isaac Gravelle, have been named to Team Canada for the 2023 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.


The 2023 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, taking place in Charlottetown and Summerside, PEI., runs from November 2nd to November 11th and will once again feature two teams from Canada – Team Canada Red and Team Canada White. Griffin, the 5’10 Markham, Ont., native was selected in the first round, sixth overall by the Generals at the 2023 OHL Priority Selection. In seven games this season, Griffin is still searching for his first OHL point – but has been all over the ice in each of the Generals games. Despite not finding the finish he is hoping for, Griffin has been winning puck battles deep on the forecheck, and he opened up space for himself and his teammates thanks to his speed and stick-handling skills. GensNation did get to see flashes of his potential throughout the preseason when he scored two goals and three assists over four games. Last season, Griffin scored 94 points in just 35 games by way of 51 goals and 43 assists for the York SimcoeExpress. Gravelle, the goaltender from Fenwick, Ont., was taken in the second round by the Generals at the same 2023 OHL Priority Selection. In five games with the GOJHL’s Port Colbourne Sailors, Gravelle has played to a record of 2-1-2, with a strong 2.95 goals against average and .921 save percentage. Gravelle showed a lot of promise at the Generals’ recent summer training camp but was ultimately beaten out for the backup position by 2006-born Noah Bender. At only 16 years old, Gravelle is a name a lot of Generals’ fans should remember over the next few years, as he continues to develop into a star goaltender. Griffin and Gravelle join current Generals Calum Ritchie, Beckett Sennecke, Ben Danford, and David Bedkowski as recent Generals to appear at the tournament for Hockey Canada. Hosted on Prince Edward Island, the 2023 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge begins on November 2nd and will conclude with the Gold Medal game on November 11th.
