We are a non-profit organization that expects each player to learn discipline and respect for the game of hockey, their coaches, teammates, parents, officials and opposing players. Our goal is to have FUN, learn the game, and represent the Delaware Ducks with enthusiasm and class.
We ARE the PREMIER hockey organization in Delaware - and the exclusive organization in the state to be members of the Eastern Junior Elite Prospects League (EJEPL) for our higher level teams - included in your season fees!
