Bio: Matt Latin signed as a free agent with the Oshawa Generals on September 5th to become the only current player on the Generals roster that is from Oshawa. Latin is the first player to play for the Generals from Oshawa since Adam Berti and Justin Sawyer 10 years ago.
The 18-year old forward played for the Oshawa Generals Minor Midget AAA team last season, recording nine goals and five assists for 14 points in 29 games played.
Two years removed from going undrafted, Latin made this year’s squad after having a strong training camp. Roger Hunt believed that it was Latin’s work ethic that set him apart, “I think Matt is what you have training camps for, he came in with little fan fair but caught our eyes each day. He has a good work ethic and a nose for the net. Matt earned this.”
Latin has appeared in nine games for the Generals this season and has yet to record a point.
