Oshawa GM employees once the foundation of Generals’ fan base
Legendary junior hockey executive Sherry Bassin has witnessed the type of impact General Motors of Canada employees once had on the Ontario Hockey League’s Oshawa Generals.
The relationship ran much deeper than just a team name and logo in his days with the club.
“These people that worked hard on the lines, I can’t say enough about them, they were a big part of our support,” said Bassin, who was with the Generals from 1976 to 1989.
“Those guys that worked hard on the line, administrative people, they were all die-hard supporters of the Generals.”
