Congratulations to our Jr Ducks 2008 for winning this year's NHL Cup! Like coach Sandy said, "This is more difficult to win than State Championship!" We are so proud of this group of kids who have fought hard to come out of this weekend with the banner; starting the tournament with a 4:45 am game (California time), and having their next start time 12 hours later. And many of the players battled the stomach flu throughout the weekend!  This team consisted of ALL Jr Ducks players, with one invite of a local goalie to team up with our regular goalie.  This team together won the Championship game, with a Shoot Out ending, against the #10 nationally ranked Jr Dallas Stars.  Our Jr Ducks 2008’s are not ranked in the 2008 ranking, so this was a good indication of where we are skill wise.  We would also like to congratulate our other Jr Ducks NHL Youth Cup Champions: 2007, 2005 and 2004's.   Great job!
