X-Generals
was formed in October 2003 as a continuation of the former General Bank
Dragon Boat Team. After General Bank was absorbed in a corporate merger,
members of the original team could not let go of the strong ties, friendships
and sense of unity they had developed, and thus decided to continue
paddling together as the "X-Generals" (ex-Generals).
Since its
inception, our team has always been about challenging ourselves to be
better, being competitive without losing sight of how to have fun, as
well as introducing others to the sport of Dragon Boating. With the
addition of relatives and friends, our team has now grown into a unique,
diverse crew made up of bankers, TV producers, business people, engineers,
teachers and more. With each new member and each year of experience,
X-Generals hopes to grow stronger and excel further as a team. In recent
years, we've experienced many breakthroughs in competition, winning
over half a dozen medals from the Long Beach International Races, including
Gold in 2006.
