Generals Host Ottawa for their 2024/25 Home Opener!

It is an eventful day as things get started at 3:30 pm with the Tailgate Party, where there will be live music, a beer garden and the opportunity to take your picture with the Bobby Orr Trophy.

Oshawa is playing their third game in as many days as they carry a 1-1-0-0 record so far taking down the Kingston Frontenacs before falling to the Brantford Bulldogs.

With most of the Generals’ top players away at NHL camps, it has been the team’s depth showing that they can still compete and get points.

The 67’s enter this game only played one game, dropping it to the Niagara IceDogs 3-2 in Ottawa’s Home Opener.

Oshawa ended the 67’s season last year sweeping the nation’s capital in the second round of the OHL playoffs.

The Generals handled Ottawa fairly easily after falling the season before in the first round. Last year’s second-round matchup was all Gens, but the regular season series was a completely different tale as Ottawa won seven of the eight meetings.

Oshawa got the lead in game four before Ottawa scored to tie it at 1-1. But it was all Generals from there as they could smell the blood in the water scoring three unanswered to put the series to rest.

So far this season, second-year player Owen Griffin has been standing out early for the Gens. After a strong preseason, Griffin has carried his play into the regular season notching a goal and three assists in the first two games.

For the 67’s Luca Pinelli picked up where he left off as he picked up the team’s first goal of the season before Ottawa fell to the IceDogs.
