2024-25 Division: East Division

After battling their way into a playoff position and falling in the Play-In series last season, long-time head coach Bryan Erikson and his staff put focus on getting grittier and harder to play against. The Generals have been around for most of the East Division’s history; Erikson reflects on the league’s storied history and mission of preparing players for the collegiate hockey level.  Along with having the plan to field a strong team in the East Division, the Generals put extra emphasis on a consistent development plan for players to help them achieve their goals. With four regular season games before heading to the NAHL Showcase, Erikson is looking to get the leadership, players, and systems established to make a strong showing at the Greatest Show on Ice.
