OHL Hockey News – Generals Goalie Daryl Borden Happy to be Back
Hi gang, Rick Ostler here with OHL Hockey News, bringing you News and Views from the Ontario Hockey League as well Junior Hockey worldwide. Goaltender Daryl Borden is back with the Oshawa Generals Hockey Club.
Daryl Borden is back. But for how long remains to be seen.The 19-year-old Brantford native who in the summer left the Oshawa Generals to pursue a career in law enforcement, surprisingly returned to the fold this week.
Over the summer Borden, who was expected to be the club’s No. 1 goaltender this season, indicated he was done with OHL hockey, and was instead preparing to take the next step in his life at Mohawk College, hopeful of becoming a police officer.
But because of a slight colour blindness, Borden was unable to get into his program of choice, he said.
So back to the Oshawa Genrals he came.
“I found out that I might not be able to do what I wanted to do, what I wanted to go to school for,” said Borden in explaining his reasoning for a return. “That weighed in on my mind. I figured why not come back for another year and see what happens. You never know. It will also give me time to figure out what I want to do.”
That comment, to me, is a curious one. While Borden is more than capable of providing the Generals with the goaltending necessary to compete this season, and who knows, a great year could even open up some doors in terms of playing hockey beyond the OHL, a comment like that forces one to wonder where his head is at.
He insists he only left over the summer to embark on a career change, adding that he’s happy to be back and ready to play. Although I’ll admit I don’t know Daryl Borden the person any more than I know the guy beside him in that Generals locker room, I have to wonder whether that is indeed the case.
And I have a suspicion the Generals are wondering exactly the same thing after it seemed Borden had moved on and his heart was elsewhere. Why else would the club keep around overage goalie Neil Conway, who will start tonight in Sudbury, if they were sure about Borden’s commitment level? Surely they could have tossed rookie Kevin Bailie to the Wolves (pun intended) tonight, have Borden back him up and send Conway packing if they were confident in Borden. After tonight’s game the club will enjoy an entire week off, giving Borden ample time to prepare.
But head coach and general manager Chris DePiero says he’ll carry all three goalies and “let things play out over the next little while.”
How that plays out is anyone’s guess, but I wouldn’t count out a Borden trade as a possible solution, while Conway and Bailie, two guys who were here from the start, get their shot.
Of course I am sure the club would prefer a focused and committed Borden, but it’s hard to say if they’ll get that. Thanks to Shawn Cayley for this; newsdurhamregion.com | Borden returns to the Generals’ fold, but for how long?

OHL Hockey News – John Tavares Ready For Final OHL Season
John Tavares, Oshawa Generals
Hi gang, Rick Ostler here with OHL Hockey News, bringing you News and Views from the Ontario Hockey League as well Junior Hockey worldwide. Oshawa Generals Superstar John Tavares will finish his Ontario Hockey League career this season.
Tavares, who turns 18 years old eight days from now, has, in three years with the Oshawa Generals, shattered nearly all of the team’s offensive records. He was selected first overall in OHL Priority Selection in 2005 by the Generals. Since then, he has made the OHL his own personal video game, dominating the ice night in and night out, while humiliating goaltenders all over North America. He is the presumptive first overall pick in next year’s NHL Entry Draft.
His statistics have wowed hockey fans all over the world.
He scored 91 goals and added 67 assists, for an ungodly 158 points, while playing with kids a full year older than him in a AAA midget league.
A short time later, as one of the youngest players in junior hockey history, he scored 77 points in 65 games for the Generals. He won the OHL Rookie of the Year Award in a landslide.
The following season, he tallied 72 goals and 62 assists, for a whopping 134 points. He reduced the rest of the OHL to a mere afterthought at times.
Last season wasn’t too shabby for the young man either, as he put up 118 points in 59 games, nearly leading his team to the J. Ross Robertson Cup, which is awarded to the OHL playoff champions. Unfortunately for Tavares and company, Oshawa lost in the semifinal round of the OHL postseason.
This year, the Oshawa Generals are serious contenders for not only the OHL title, but also for the Memorial Cup. Really, why wouldn’t they be? After all, they have the best junior player in the world, and a strong supporting cast that includes star blueliner Michael Del Zotto, a highly touted prospect currently under the control of the New York Rangers.
Some people expect Tavares to make a good run at the OHL single season points record of 192, a record that was set by the great Bobby Smith in 1978. The Generals open up the regular season on September 19th when they’ll pay a visit to last year’s OHL doormat, the Sudbury Wolves.
Until then, Tavares will wait, primed for his best season yet. Thanks to
