Greensboro has been home to multiple hockey franchises over the decades. Ranging from minor league teams, all the way up to the National Hockey League when the city was the original home for the Carolina Hurricanes for their first couple of seasons when they moved from Hartford, Connecticut to North Carolina.
Greensboro’s relationship with hockey began all the way back in 1959 with the Greensboro Generals of the Eastern Hockey League (EHL). The Generals were an expansion franchise for the 1959-1960 season when the Troy Bruins moved from the International Hockey League (IHL) to the EHL.
