Duck Hockey is a club sport, meaning the team is student-run and student-funded. They have competitively battled on the ice since 1989, but are a non-varsity sport and no player is on scholarship, in fact the team is financed mainly through member dues and donations.
In many ways, Oregon Hockey resembles the football team back when they were know as the Webfoots: they have a microscopic budget, a diehard group of burly amateurs, and coaches that rarely stick around longer than a year. The hiring of esteemed coach Rylee Orr will hopefully put an end to the latter of those similarities, and new general manager Sam Rosenberg has one lofty goal for these mighty Ducks.
