Generals Traning Camp Day #3

Game #3 – Team Blue vs. Team Red
Team Red jumped onto the ice with a high from their win over Team White yesterday, while Team Blue was looking to prove themselves after their loss yesterday. Emotions were high for all players with just one scrimmage left before this afternoons cuts after the game.
Team Red was first to capitalize when Jimmy Cusan took off on a breakaway and snuck one by goalie Justin Tugwell and within five minutes Team Red was up 1-0.

Team Blue got their game together and had tied things up when Kelly Summers hammered one off the post and past goalender Ken Appleby.

Generals Training Camp is always full of energy and nerves for the players but this year the fans got a taste of extra excitement when Team Blue’s Brett Seney was rewarded with a penalty shot and slipped one past Ken Appleby to give Team Blue a 2-1 lead. Team Blue wasn’t about to be the only team without a win.
Period 2 was back and forth hockey for the first half and Team Red was rewarded with a goal as Lucas Lessio made his way through the defense and scored for Team Red tie it at 2. Team Blue kept up the pressure and were rewarded when Michael Dal Colle sets up Tyler Biggs to put Team Blue ahead 3-2. Team Blue wasn’t finished as Corey Caruso tucked away the insurance goal. In the final minutes Team Blue scored two empty net goals one by Michael Dal Colle And Chris Carlisle.
Prelim cuts are being made and the remaining players will be assigned to either Team Red or Team White. Oshawa Generals Red/White games will be held this afternoon and two more tomorrow at Oshawa’s own GMC. This afternoon’s game will be at 3:45 PM.

Red/White Game 1 – Team Red vs. Team White
Training camp continues this afternoon without thirteen players after this afternoons prelim cuts. Team Red and Team White took the ice for the first of three games, also containing 2 thirty minute periods.
Roster spots are what these kids are out fighting for. The game started off heated and hard-hitting with chances for both team. As the teams fight for the opening marker Team Whites Ryan Burns snaps one past Austin Washkurak to give them the lead.
As the second period continues it continues to be a hard fought battle. Team Red‘s Matthew Hore took off on the break away and with high hopes Matthew tries the wrap around on Justin Tugwell but Justin closes the door and keeps the game under control. Team White kept up the pressure too and Lucas Lessio snaps one off the post of Daniel Altshuller, but as they say “A goalies best friend” saves the day. Team Red pulled Daniel Altshuller for the extra attacker and Matt Petgrave had to step in to play net minder in his absence. As time winds down Team White’s Lucas Lessio sends the puck into the empty net to give Team White the 2-0 lead and with seconds left that’s the way this one finished.
