More about Albert "Red" Tilson:
Albert "Red" Tilson came skating out of the west to help the Oshawa Generals to two Ontario Hockey Association Junior A Championships in 1942 and 1943. Born in Regina, Red came to Oshawa in time for the 1941 season. As a flashy forward with good speed and great stick-handling ability, he was known for his gutsy, never-say-die attitude and he helped lead the Generals to the Memorial Cup Final in 1943 winning the O.H.A. scoring championship in that year.
After the season, Red joined the army. His brilliant career was tragically cut short, being killed in action on October 21, 1944. To honour his memory, the Red Tilson Trophy has been awarded since 1945 to the junior player in Ontario judged most outstanding by sportscasters and sportswriters. The trophy was won by Fellow Hall of Famer and General Bobby Attersley in 1953, and by Generals Rick Middleton (1973) and Scott McCrory (1987).
Wednesdays: 11am - 2pm
Also open during every Oshawa Generals home game
