Eugene Jr. Generals Hockey

Grit. Sportsmanship. Next-shift Thinking. That's Jr. Generals Hockey — and it's the standard our players carry through a season of real growth. For 2026-27, LAHA is making its biggest structural change in years, moving away from the association's longstanding all-kids-play model toward an age-appropriate player development pathway:


  • 8U & 10U — Everyone Plays. Two practices a week focused on fun, skating fundamentals, puck skills, confidence, and a genuine love of the game. All players compete in games and jamborees against other youth hockey associations, scaled appropriately to the players' age.



  • To accommodate different players growth and development at 12U and above, we implement two player pathways - State Players and Practice Players. Following  fall evaluations, players will be placed on either a State-Play roster or, if more appropriate,  as a Practice Player based on coaching evaluations and roster availability. Practice Players participate in team practices and receive the same coaching and player development opportunities, including off-ice training and monthly membership at Treeline Training (14U and 18U only), as State-Play players throughout the season.


  • 12U — The Transition Year. Players keep a familiar team structure while being introduced to fall and spring evaluations and the increased expectations they'll face as they move up — a bridge between "everyone plays" and full competitive hockey. At this age, we play on full-ice and focus on passing, speed, and team development.


  • 14U & 18U — Competitive Development Model. These players participate in fall and spring evaluations to help set the tone for the season. Both divisions now include required weekly off-ice training and a gym membership through our new partnership with Treeline Training.


  • 16U AA — Our Advanced Competitive Pathway. Selected through spring tryouts. This team competes in the Northwest Amateur Hockey League and the State AA League, with the potential to compete at the National Championships


  • A Clear Entry Point for New Players. LAHA and The Rink Exchange are partners in youth hockey in Eugene. Root Beer League, Intro to Hockey (which includes skates and gear!), and Hockey Academy programs remain the recommended starting point for brand-new players or those still building foundational skating skills — creating a  pathway and developmental ladder for new players to travel hockey with the Jr. Generals.


Together, these changes reflect a simple philosophy: every player deserves a place to belong, a place to be challenged, and a place to grow. Gritty. Tough. Honorable. Sportsmanship. These are the values of the Jr. Generals!


Girls Hockey

Play Hockey, Make Friends, and Have Fun!


​Girls ages 6-18 are encouraged to join the Eugene Jr. Generals and play hockey! Teams at all age divisions are coed and each season we have more girls join the fun. Our goal is to grow the Jr. Generals program to the point where we can offer full-time girls teams.


For girls looking to add an all-girls experience to their hockey season, USA Hockey and OSHA permit girls to dual roster on both a coed team and a girlsteam so long as both are not nationally bound. Some of the girls in our program dual roster with Rose City Hockey Club and travel with them to female tournaments.

Special Hockey

Hockey Programs for All Abilities


The Lane Amateur Hockey Association (LAHA) offers a special hockey program. The program is open to any player over age five, male or female, who is physically able to play, but would be unable to participate in any other organized program due to his or her developmental disability. Special Hockey exists for the enrichment of the athlete with a developmental disability.


In addition to physical hockey skills, the program emphasizes the development of desirable individual characteristics such as dependability, self-reliance, concentration, willingness to share and personal accountability. The game of hockey is used by Special Hockey to develop within each player the characteristics that will help the player to be more successful both inside and outside a hockey environment.


The 2026-27 program runs from October through February. Practices are held on Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. Athletes should try to arrive 20 to 30 minutes prior the start of practice to put on gear. The cost of the program is $100 for the season. Please pass this information on to other potential athletes or parents that may be interested in the program.
