Leading the way in a scoring column filled with highly touted NHL prospects."

"For Owen to play out his junior career with a chance to play for a Memorial Cup would be a fairytale finish to his OHL career," added Hunt.

"Thank you, GensNation," said Griffin. "I will forever be thankful for the three years I spent in Oshawa to begin my junior career. The Oshawa Generals are a first-class organization, and I am grateful for the opportunity they gave me. To the Ling's (my billet family), my teammates, coaches, staff, management and the amazing fans, thank you for the lifelong memories."
