The Delaware Ducks Board of Directors is excited to announce Joe Duca as the President and Eric Pertschi as the Vice President for the 2020-2021 season.

Joe Duca has been a dedicated volunteer with the Ducks organization over the last 8 years as a coach and parent of two sons in the program and is currently the 16AA coach for the upcoming 2020-2021 season.

With the departure of Mike Swift, Eric Pertschi transitioned into the role of Vice President from Board Member. He has been an active participant with the board serving as a Trustee and a Member and has volunteered in the roles of head and assistant coach with the Ducks.   Eric is committed to the success of the Delaware Ducks hockey program and is looking forward to be being a positive factor in the future of the organization.

Letter from the Hockey Director

Delaware Ducks Updates!

Two months of social distancing and stay at home orders have us thinking about hockey!  While we haven’t been able to lace up the skates, we have been hard at work preparing for the upcoming season. We are excited to share some updates within the club.  

The Ducks are happy to announce Matt Marshallsea as the new Hockey Director. Matt is replacing Mike Stead who is transitioning the role this off-season. The Ducks sincerely thank Mike for his years of service to the club and wish him all the best in the future.  

Matt has 25+ years of playing and coaching experience, having started playing hockey at the age of 5. Growing up he played his youth hockey in the Delaware area, leading to a career at the Junior A level. After Junior hockey, Matt attended the University of Delaware where he majored in statistics and was a member of the 2012 ACHA Divison 1 National Championship Team.   After his hockey career, Matt focused on his passion for coaching where he co-founded Dynamic Hockey Development. He has coached kids at all ages and levels from just starting through the professional level. Currently, Matt is a goalie coach at numerous rinks in the tri-state area, as well as an assistant coach for the University of Delaware ACHA Men's Division 1 team. 

Matt’s commitment to and passion for developing youth hockey players is evident in his clinics, private lessons, and team practices. We are thrilled that he will be leading the Ducks’ hockey operations going forward. Matt will be scheduling a Zoom meeting to share an overview of his vision for player development and the direction of the club. Watch for an announcement on the date and time of the meeting.  

The Board of Directors will also see changes this off-season with a new President and Vice President elected. The Ducks would like to thank Bryan Crossan for his service as President over the past year and a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to Mike Swift who has dedicated countless hours to the Ducks in a number of roles on and off the ice.  

The Board is also seeking additional members. If you are passionate about youth hockey and would like to volunteer your time to assist in the administration of the club please send an email to Delawareduckshockey@outlook.com. 

If you haven’t already done so, please register for the upcoming season on our website by June 1, 2020. As you have likely seen, the registration process has been updated by the Atlantic District this season as a result of the pandemic. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.  

We hope every member of our extended hockey family is safe and healthy in these uncertain times. We can’t wait to get back to the rink and to drop the puck on the new season. 

Go Ducks!
