Talk:Oshawa Generals

message: Due to all the history and stats (season-by-season records and playoff results) I have added, the article size is quite large. I would suggest splitting the article in half, perhaps putting the stats separately? Any ideas? Flibirigit 01:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added, much, much more history to the article and have tried to clarify the confusion. Please review. Flibirigit 10:36, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The Oshawa Generals were never known as the Whitby Dunlops, who were a senior team. Bobby Orr played for the Generals for four years before entering the NHL in 1966 (as we see here, so clearly the team was not from 1956 to 1964 a senior team operating as the Whitby Dunlops (Orr was 18 when he entered the NHL; senior hockey has a minimum age of 21).

replies: text: It doesn't mention that the Dunlops were a Senior team. Perhaps there was a junior team, and a senior team? -- Earl Andrew - talk 22:11, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. My ancient memories don't recall a Whitby team in Junior A, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one. They weren't the ones to win the world championship, though. Anyway, a little research will straighten this out. John FitzGerald 16:27, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I think that the little scuffle between this team and Stephen Colbert should be mentioned or perhaps even get its own section.  If that happens, the article should be tagged with a "Current Event" banner as long as this lasts.  Any thoughts?--Dark Green 23:59, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The section exists as an article on the TV show. Also, it's an extremely minor event within the history of the team. Flibirigit 02:37, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

text: A toned down section would be more appropriate for Mayor John Gray's page, or the local radio station, KX96. The team itself did not initiate the publicity stunt. Flibirigit 02:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: How is this possible? How did it get "unofficially retired" for Bruce Melanson when it was already retired for Red Tilson? BsroiaadnTalk 00:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The uniform # 9 was consitently worn for the Oshawa Generals after Red Tilson's death, up until Bruce Melanson's death. Since Melanson's death, the number has never been worn. The number was officially retired for Tilson on November 11, 2006, at a special Remembrance Day ceremony. Flibirigit 03:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
