Oshawa Generals captain Ty Tullio named OHL Player of the Week

Oshawa General’s captain Ty Tullio has been named the OHL Player of the Week.

With seven points, including his first career hat trick (a natural hat trick at that) in a pair of Oshawa victories this weekend over divisional rivals, Tullio helped send his club into the COVID-forced holiday break on a four-game win streak.

The pair of wins also vaulted the club into third place in the East Division.

Tullio, a fifth-round draft pick of the Edmonton Oilers in 2020, picked up the natural hattie Friday night in a 4-2 win over Ottawa and added another goal – along with three assists – in an 8-4 drubbing of Peterborough the following night.

Both games were on the road.

The 19 year-old sits ninth in league scoring with 12 goals and 26 assists in 26 games this season and leads all OHL skaters with 21 power-play points.
