The NAHL provides an unparalleled opportunity for players to train and develop. The NAHL is unique in the fact that a vast majority of players begin their NAHL careers without an NCAA opportunity, but earn one through the course of their development in the league. The NAHL???s dedication to player development is demonstrated by the league???s high-profile annual exposure events like the NAHL Showcase and the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament, which have evolved into hockey???s most prominent and popular of its kind and are a must-see for NCAA programs and NHL teams alike, making it very convenient for many top colleges in the Northeast to come and view the General???s talent as well as their opponents.
???We are thrilled to have an NAHL team make the Village their home. The Northeast Generals are so dynamic and having them brings professional scouts, colleges and others to our area and facility to watch the Generals and our local hockey players,??? says Dave Boucher developer of the New England Sports Village. ???Having players of this caliber train and play in our area has never happened before and we certainly have never welcomed teams from Alaska to our small city ??? we are thrilled to elevate the hockey in this region and look forward to elevating all athletics in New England.???
