Oshawa Generals Camp Day #2

Please note the Oshawa Generals play two 30 min periods in camp not only to allow players to show their skill but also their endurance of strength and health. Coaches want highly skilled, fit, healthy, smart hockey players.

Game #1 (Team White vs Team Red)
Both teams came out to a high energy first period with chances at both ends of the rink. Emotions were flying and so were the bodies, veterans welcoming some guys back and also welcoming some of the young guys to the OHL. Although it seemed like no one could tap the puck past either goalie and period one was winding down, team red’s Stefano Alonzi snaps one passed team whites goalie Daniel Altshuller to open the scoring. Team white came out in period two with revenge on the brain.

A very aggressive defensive team showed up to play and but still was unable to sneak one past team reds Ken Appleby. Team Red took the opening game 1-0.

Game #2 (Team White vs Team Blue)
Team white came out to prove themselves and was ready to take their frustrations out on team blue. Generals vet Emerson Clark was the first to tap one in past team blues goalie Justin Tugwell and put team white up 1-0.
Team white kept up the pressure and before you knew it team white was up 2-0 with a goal from vet Matt Petgrave. Team blue wasnt about to give up as vet John Urbanic taps one in past team whites goalie Austin Washkurak to make it 2-1. After 30 mins of play that’s the way the period would finish.
Period 2 started off with team white fighting to hold the lead but team blue was all over them and got rewarded with a goal from Corey Caruso to tie it at 2. As the period went on you could see both sides getting tired but neither team was willing to give in. Team whites Matt Petgrave efforts get rewarded and taps in his second of the game to make it 3-2. Team blue still giving it everything they got with seconds left on the clock and their goalie pulled and with a remarkable effort to say the least they could not find a hole anywhere in team whites goalie Daniel Altshuller. Team White pulls off the win 3-2 over team blue.
Oshawa Generals training camp continues tomorrow as team red takes on team blue. There will be a midday cut that will take place and the 3 teams will be cut down to 2 and team red will take on team white at 345pm at the General Motors Centre in Oshawa.
These teams will also be at it again saturday at 915am and then the last red and white game will be at 345pm at Oshawa’s own GMC.
