The Oceanside Generals are looking for billet homes for the upcoming season! Billet families are one of the cornerstones of Junior hockey, and this is your chance to be apart of it! Be a part of the Gens family and make some long lasting relationships with these young men.
We have been a billet family for over 5 years and have made life long friendships with our billet kids. They are a part of our extended family and keep in touch with most of them. It is a great way to give back to a sport that our family has been a part of for so long.
Wood is expected to join the Generals at the upcoming Spring Camp later this month.

Last weekend Generals forward Dawson Heathcote was named the VIJHL’s Top Forward.
Before the opening face off of Game 3 against Kerry Park he was handed the Brian Morrison Award. Dawson is the first General to win the award.
“It’s a pretty cool accomplishment for me. Obviously my team helped me out, we won a lot of games.”
Dawson collected 63 points in just 43 games for the Generals this season.
“I’m thankful for my teammates and I’m pretty happy I got the award. I’m happy I beat my points record when I was 16, that was my goal this year.”
It’s the second big award for Dawson, who was named the Rookie of the Year in the VIJHL for the 2016-17 season.
Both awards for the Nanaimo product have come with Dan Lemmon behind the bench.
“It was well deserved, Dawson is for sure one of the best forwards in the league. He has contributed to our team offensively and he gives it his all every game.
Dawson currently has at least a point in 16 straight games.
Congratulations Dawson!
