With team whites win yesterday they came out with confidence and full of energy meanwhile team red was ready for redemption.
Red/White Game #2Team Red’s Boone Jenner opened the scoring less than thirty seconds into the first period. Team Red was full tilt ahead as Cole Cassels makes it 2-0 but team white woke up quickly and answered with a goal from Lucas Lessio to make it 2-1. Jared Dennis was ready to be noticed by coaching staff and fans alike as he snaps in a beauty for Team Red to give them a 2 goal lead once again. As the puck hits the ice Team Whites Lucas Lessio was once again quick to answer the call and make it 3-2. Generals Vet Boone Jenner wasn’t willing to sit back and let Team Whites Lucas Lessio be top dog as Boone taps his second of the game in to make it 4-2, But once again who is there at the doorstep to tip in his third of the game and make it 4-3 that’s right Lucas Lessio earns the
As the 2nd period begins Team White was eager to tie the game and Generals Vet Emerson Clark taps in a rebound past Daniel Altshuller to give them exactly what they were looking for. Both teams kept up the pressure at both ends as fast paced end to end hockey was exciting the fans. Team Red’s Scott Sabourin nets his first of the camp from a beautiful setup by Boone Jenner making it 5-4. Team White answered with hard hitting action to try and slow down the pace but Team Red’s Tyler Biggs answered with the insurance goal as he beats Justin Tugwell to make it 6-4 in the late part of the final period. As the buzzer sounds Team Red celebrates their win and gets ready for game 3 for bragging rights.
Red/White Game #3
As fans entered the arena through gate 1 you could feel the energy it was the final game of the Oshawa Generals Training Camp, it was do or die for some of the young players as well as a chance for some of the over aged players to earn a spot on that final roster. This is a game to earn a place on the roster, bragging rights in the locker room and a memory that all these players will never forget.
Adam Lloyd opens the scoring in the first as he snaps in a rebound in past Austin Washkurak to make it 1-0. Generals Vet Christian Thomas gets a cheer out of the crowd as he puts one behind Austin Washkurak to make it 2-0. Both sides had their chances but goalies at both ends close the door to keep the game at 2-0 as the period comes to a close.
Team Red’s Josh Brown slaps one from outside the blue line past Ken Appleby to make it 2-1. Team White is quick to answer as whom else but Lucas Lessio taps in a rebound to open up the lead 3-1. Ken Appleby stands on his head in the second to kill off a 5-3 and keep the game within reach. Team red was putting on the pressure in the final minutes of the period and was rewarded with a goal by Scott Sabourin and put the game to with a single goal. Team Red’s goalie Daniel Altshuller heads to the bench for the extra attacker in the last minute of play but Team White’s Christian Thomas buts the puck into the empty net to make it 4-2 in the final seconds. Team White pulls it off and has earned bragging rights, but on the mind of all players as they step off the ice is that spot on the roster.
As the players camp comes to an end the coaching staff now has their work cut out for them and their camp is not over yet.
I’d like to congratulate each and every player that stepped onto the ice with a red, white or blue Oshawa Generals jersey on this year.
