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 2ND
VICTORIAVILLE TIGRES - QMJHL
The hottest team in the QMJHL coming into this weekend is the Victoriaville Tigres. Currently riding an eight game point streak, the Tigres sit atop the Western Conference standings with 20 points. The small town just east of Montreal, are making a big name for themselves after the first quarter of the season. In 15 games, the Tigres have scored 61 goals, and have a power play that’s clipping at just shy of 25 per cent. Justin Larose leads the way offensively with 21 points in 14 games, just three shy of his career best 24 – which took him all 68 games to achieve a season ago. PHOTO BY: ALEX GARNEAU
SAINT JOHN SEA DOGS - 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: MICHAEL HAWKINGS
CALGARY HITMEN - WHL A six-game point streak for the Calgary Hitmen has seemingly saved them from being the WHL’s Eastern Conference basement dwellers. Before their current streak, the Hitmen sat in the bottom of the WHL standings with a record of 2-7-0-0. Since then, they’ve improved to 6-7-0-2 and given themselves some hope for this season. At 14 points, the Hitmen are only six points back of the top-seeded Moose Jaw Warriors and have put five points between themselves and their Alberta counterparts – the last place Edmonton Oil Kings. Calgary’s bread and butter comes from the offensive output of Sean Tschigerl. The Anaheim Ducks prospect has 18 points in 13 games so far this season. PHOTO BY: CALGARY HITMEN TWITTER
SPOKANE CHIEFS - WHL One of two teams in the WHL to sit .500 are the Spokane Chiefs. After 12 games the Chiefs are 5-5-2-0 and have 12 points, good enough for just 9th in the WHL’s Wester Conference and last place in the U.S. Division. The Chiefs do however have a chance to climb the standings this weekend, with matchups against division rivals Seattle Thunderbirds and TriCity Americans. Both teams are within four points or less of the Chiefs. While Spokane may be struggling to consistently find wins, their power play has been something many other teams wish they had. Clipping at a success rate of almost 29 per cent, the Chiefs own the top power play in their division, and third best in the Western Conference. PHOTO BY: LARRY BRUNT
NIAGARA ICEDGOS - OHL The team shrouded by off-ice drama and controversies may have finally started to figure things out on the ice. The Niagara IceDogs have been the OHL’s punching bag the last few seasons, with some pretty dismal records. In 2022, the IceDogs finished 22-42-3-1, only to get worse the following season. Last year, Niagara only managed to win 12 games, and finished with a record of 12-47-8-1. 12 games into the 2023-2024 season, the IceDogs currently have a record of 3-4-41 giving them 11 points. While the wins are flowing down the pipeline just yet, at least they’re showing some compete. A goal differential of just -7 haunts the Dogs so far this year, a stat that was a horrifying -158 a season ago. Their current five game point streak can be attributed to Mathieu Paris, who has 12 points in 12 games and leads the team in goals, assists and points. PHOTO BY: NATASHA CORFIELD
SAGINAW SPIRIT - OHL The hosts of this season’s Memorial Cup Championship, presented by Dow, find themselves in a spot they probably didn’t imagine they’d be in. The Saginaw Spirit enter the weekend out of a playoff spot, sitting 9th in the Western Conference with just nine points after 11 games. The 4-6-0-1 Spirit are riding a three-game winless streak and are just two points up on the OHL’s worst, Windsor Spitfires. Now, while the Spirit aren’t getting the results they want right now, it’s no doubt GM Dave Drinkill has some plans in the works. He’s already worked on tweaking what he hopes to be a championship roster, bringing in former Flint Firebird Ethan Hayes in a trade earlier this week. The positive signs are there in Saginaw as well. The Spirit have the top power play and penalty kill in the entire OHL at 34.4 and 92.9 per cent respectively. PHOTO BY: ERIC YOUNG

player to watch LUKE TORRANCE
The third-year winger from Oshawa made his season debut last night where he also picked up his first point of the season. After more than doubling his point total from his first season to his second, the 19-yearold will look to take another step in the 2023-24 season.
game day PREVIEW The Oshawa Generals are looking to avengelast night’s 3-2 loss to rivals the Peterborough Petes when they play the second game of a home-and-home at Tribute Communities Centre. The Gens are currently amidst a three-game losing streak, but it is not all as it seems. Oshawa’s three losses have all come by just one goal losing 4-3 to the Kingston Frontenacs, 3-2 to the Owen Sound Attack, and 3-2 to the Peterborough Petes. Peterborough makes the trip into town riding a streak of their own, three straight wins. The Petes sit in first place, atop the East Division and currently have the second-best win percentage in the league.
Last Meeting: It hasn’t been long since these two last met with the Petes having won the first game of a home-and-home last night 3-2.
Things started in the second after Jacob Oster made 20 saves in the first period when Peterborough was able to find the back of the net. After things got a little spicy with an Ethan Toms fight, the Petes found themselves on the powerplay and with 10 seconds left on the man advantage the puck found its way into the slot and Cam Gauvreau made no mistake wristing home his first of the season. The Generals were able to answer. It was Tyler Graham finding a way to get the puck in the net as the Gens cut the lead in half. But it was the Petes growing their lead back up to two when Owen Beck scored late in the second period. Luke Torrance made his season debut last night and just before the halfway mark of the third period the Gens found themselves on the power play where Torrance one-timed home his first of the season.

JAX DUBOIS
The Ottawa native has come out of the gates hot scoring 14 points in 10 games to start the season. The centre has had five multi-point games this season and was named first star the last time these two teams met.
last game RECAP THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2
A stretch of nine straight against East Division opponents, and the first of two in a row against the Peterborough Petes was kicked off by a 3-2 loss. In front of a packed Peterborough Memorial Centre, the Generals made their second visit of the season and had a tough time getting the wheels moving in the first period. While neither team was able to open the scoring in the opening 20 minutes, the Peterborough Petes outshot the Generals 20-6. Jacob Oster, who’s started all but one game for the Generals, made a number of massive saves to keep it deadlocked at 0-0. The second period is where things began to unravel for the Generals. Again, Oshawa found themselves taking a few more penalties than they’d like to, giving the Petes man-advantage chances, while also keeping the Generals in their own zone. First, it was Jonathan Melee scoring his team-leading sixth of the season to give Peterborough the 1-0 lead. Next, on a power paly that the Petes could actually convert on Cam Gauvreau scored his first in a few seasons to double the Peterborough lead to 2-0. Exactly one minute and two seconds later, Tyler Graham stayed hot onto a puck that was bobbled by Liam Sztuska to bury his second in as many games. His second goal of the season brought the Generals within one, and also ties his previous career-high in goals from a season ago. Despite momentum seeming to finally be on the side of the Generals, it was he familiar Owen Beck giving the Petes a new two-goal lead. His 3-1 marker represented his fourth goal in just two games against the Generals this season, coming off a hat trick in their only other meeting so far this year. At the end of 40 minutes, the Generals trailed the Petes 3-1 and were still being pretty badly outshot 36-18 – with Jacob Oster doing everything he could to keep his team in it. The final frame saw the Generals get a power play of their own where they finally beat Sztuska. After a nifty give-and-go, it was Luke Torrance to bring the Generals within one. The Oshawa, Ont., native got on the board in his season debut, after he missed the start of the season due to an injury sustained in the pre-season. Down one, and with less than five minutes remaining in the third period, the Generals went back to the penalty kill trying to keep the deficit to just one. After just a minute of Petes power play time, the Petes took a penalty of their own to open the ice for some 4-on-4 play. Despite the open ice and eventual minute-long power play, the Generals couldn’t find the equalizer. The Peterborough Petes would hold on and take down the visiting Generals 3-2. Despite the loss, Jacob Oster was the difference for Oshawa, keeping them in it as long as he could. Oster stopped 48 of the 51 shots he faced.

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