Our Philosophy
Our goal is to provide a highly competitive developmental environment to help hone the skills of every hockey player on our team. This includes not only the development of essential individual skills and tactics; team systems and communication skills, but also involves the enrichment of life skills that will be used both in the world of competitive hockey at the College and Professional level, and in the development of a professional career.

From management to coaching, our hockey club is designed to develop a professional experience that meets the goals of USA Hockey. Those goals include: skills development, quality coaching, social maturity, educational advancement, recruiting exposure, advanced competition, and protection of amateur status.

Practices, Games, and Facilities
Players will practice on the ice four times a week. Players will also be playing 48 league games. The Generals believe that a player’s development not only requires a strong work ethic on the ice, but off the ice as well. The Generals run four off-ice practices a week, which include dry-land training, weight lifting, shooting galleries, and slide boards. All team required conditioning and weight lifting will be coached and supervised by the Generals highly trained staff.

Our facility is a high quality, well-maintained arena that seats over 2,700 fans that sits in the middle of a city that has a reputation for strong support of its sports franchises including the University of Oregon, and local high school sports. The Generals averaged over 1000 fans last season between in house fans and Generals iTV live broadcasts.

Not Just Hockey in Eugene
Home to more than 140,000 people, Eugene, located in Lane County, is Oregon’s third largest city. Eugene is also home to the University of Oregon, Lane Community College, and four class 4A high schools. The close centralized location of the rink to all of the schools allows for short travel time between school and practice minimizing academic interruptions. The Generals Organization works closely with the high schools to ensure smooth transitions to and from previous schools, and to ensure that players have a continued high level of academic growth. Eugene also boasts one the best public transportation systems in the nation.

When not practicing, players can enjoy a vast array of natural activities of the Southern Willamette Valley. Eugene is only an hour away from the coast, and an hour away from the Cascade Mountain range. Some of the activities that Lane County offers are cycling, dune buggy riding, fishing, golfing, hiking, hot springs, rafting, and skiing. This gives players an ideal environment to cross train.

For all of the small town feel, Eugene still has all the comforts of a large city including a first-class Performing Arts Center, Large Capacity Mall with national chain stores, and several Cineplex’s (including one with stadium seating). The community of Eugene has embraced the Generals. Throughout the 2006-07 season the Generals had one of the largest fan bases in NOR PAC, and were covered by every major media outlet in the area.
