OHL roundup

On a night when Oshawa celebrated the career of hockey legend Bobby Orr, the Generals put on a show for one of the best player the franchise has ever seen.

Five different Generals scored goals and Neil Conway made 31 saves as the Generals defeated the Peterborough Petes 5-1 on Ontario Hockey League action Thursday.

The win came after the club retired the No. 2 jersey of the legendary Orr in front of 6,253 at the General Motors Centre.

Orr's legendary hockey career, one that saw him revolutionize the way defencemen played the game, started in Oshawa as a 14-year-old. During his four-year Generals career, Orr posted eye-popping totals of 116 goals, 205 assists and 321 points, including 38 goals and 94 points in his final season in 1965-66.

"I did a lot of growing up in Oshawa from ages 14 to 18 and I'll be forever grateful for those people who helped me in that time of my life," Orr said from ice level during his thank-you speech Thursday night.
