Duchesne Hockey Takes Game 1 in Wick Cup Playoffs

Following their phenomenal regular season which ended with a record of 16-1-3, there was still speculation on how Duchesne would roll into the Wickenheiser Cup Playoffs.  After all, this is Duchesne's first appearance in the Wick Cup Playoffs since the 2020-21 season where they were knocked out in the Semifinals.  Furthermore, with the teams only loss of the season coming in the final game, it would be easy to speculate that they might be a little "down" going into the playoffs. Those notions were quickly dispelled on Monday Night. Feb. 3, when Duchesne put away MICDS in Game 1 by a score of 5-1.  Despite the late start of 10:00pm, the Pioneers were wide awake for this game. The first score of the game did not come until late in the first period when Senior Nick Morgan scored off of face-off assist from Freshman Owen Kelsey with 2:06 left in the period.  In the second period, Senior Carson Kuhn put away goal #2 off of an assist from Trenton Gebbe

DHS Hockey Regular Season Wraps Tonight

Despite a late night (9:40pm) game at an ice rink far, far away (Affton Ice Rink), the Pioneer Ice Hockey Team notched another win against an out of division team, MICDS.  The win puts Duchesne at 16-0-3 for the season with one game remaing - tonight at 7:45pm at the St. Peter's RecPlex. In the first half of the game, it appeared as though Duchesne was going to run away with it after going up 3-0 in the early part of the 2nd period.  In the first period, Duchesne's Ryan Adkerson received an interference penalty and MICDS had the first power play of the game.  However, Duchesne's Nick Morgan got a hold of the puck immediately after the face off and scored a short handed goal just 9 seconds into MICDS's power play putting Duchesne up 1-0. Liam Daleo scored just a few minutes later off of an assist from Will Hollenkamp and then Nick Morgan scored again with 10:31 left in the 2nd.  Through all of that, Goaltender Quinn Meyer made an absolute statem

Duchesne Hockey - Division Locked, History Still Being Made

There are three games remaining in the regular season, but with an undefeated 14-0-3 record, the 2024-25 Duchesne Pioneer Ice Hockey Team has already locked up the St. Charles Division Title in the Mid-States Conference.  For this Pioneer team, though, that does not mean pumping the brakes - not even a little. On Friday Night, Jan. 10, Duchesne took on Francis Howell Central and it was also Duchesne's Senior Night where five hockey seniors and three hockey cheer seniors were recognized prior to the game.  Just a week before this game, Duchesne embarrassed St. Dominic on their Senior Night with an 8-0 shutout win, so they knew they did not want to give their outgoing seniors anything less than a victory.  In fact, they wanted to give them something to remember always.  The game did not disappoint. Going into the third period, Duchesne led by only one goal as Central had put up a valiant fight for two full periods.  Max Hackmann, Ryan Adkerson, and Nick

DHS Hockey Senior Night Dec. 10

Prior to Friday Night's game against Francis Howell Central, the Duchesne Ice Hockey Team and the Duchesne Ice Hockey Cheerleaders will be celebrating their graduating Seniors.  Game time is 7:45pm but Senior Festivities will begin at 5:30pm at the St. Peter's RecPlex South in the Upstairs Academy Room.  Snacks and Drinks will be available to anyone who would like to attend.  Graduating Seniors are Carson Kuhn, Lucas Daleo, Trenton Gebben-Thompson, Auggie Lee, Nick Morgan, Ceci Fleir, Madi Hill, and Samantha Gold.  Please join us on Friday to honor our Seniors.

St. Dom Sent Packing; Senior Night Jan. 10

Despite his overall fantastic stats over the past several years, it's been a while since Junior Goalie Dillon Kuhn has recorded a shutout.  Doing so against a big rival like St. Dominic was going to be a challenge at the very least.  However, despite 28 shots taken against him, that is exactly what Kuhn did. Kuhn's motivation for the game came from the previous game against their rival on Nov. 27 - a game that ended as a tie, but Mid-States officials offered a very rare opportunity for a shootout between the two teams.  The shootout would not have affected the official result of the game which was a tie.  However, the Head Coach of St. Dominic did not want to take part in the shootout - a shootout that Kuhn was so ready for that he immediately took his place in the net when it was announced that the shootout would take place.  He stated after that game that he knew he was going to win that shootout and was disappointed that St. Dominic's coach di

DHS Hockey - St. Dom Rematch Saturday Night

The historic season continues for Duchesne Hockey after a 13-3 drubbing of conference foe Fort Zumwalt North on Monday Night, Dec. 30.  While their current record of 12-0-3 carries historic significance, it's what looms on the horizon that the players are most looking forward to - a rematch with their biggest rival, St. Dominic. November 27 was a great evening for hockey in their first matchup.  At that point in the season, both teams were undefeated and the outdoor venue at Centene Ice Arena could not have been a better location for a classic matchup.  This was the setting for the second annual Catholic Cup - a special, annual event set up between the two schools to emphasize their ongoing rivalry in hockey.  While it does not carry any significance in the standing of Mid-States Hockey, it's intent is to create a fun rivalry with a traveling trophy for bragging rights each year. In the 2023-24 season, St. Dominic took the cup decisively as they routed

DHS Hockey Continues to Roll. Remains Unbeaten

If you would have asked any member of the current Duchesne Ice Hockey team if you thought they would be unbeaten past the halfway point of the regular season, even the most optimistic of the bunch would have probably said no.  However, that is exactly where they are.  Just one game past the halfway point of the season, Duchesne Hockey has a 9-0-2 record and sit alone atop the St. Charles Division.  In fact, they are one of only two teams in all of Mid-States Hockey with an unbeaten record.  The other team is Ladue with a 10-0-2 record.  With the team's 9-3 victory over Francis Howell Central, they have now played every team in the St. Charles division at least once. Duchesne has managed to get to this point with all three aspects of their game - offense, defense, and goal tending. On the offensive side, Duchesne boasts four players in the Top 25 in points out of 760 registered players in Mid-States, and three of those are in the Top 10.  To have

DHS Ice Hockey Stays Unbeaten Ahead of Catholic Cup Game vs. St. Dominic

The Duchesne Ice Hockey Team continued the successful start to their season with two more wins this past weekend against Timberland High School and Fort Zumwalt North.  The two wins bring their unbeaten record to 5-0-1 on the season and they currently lead the St. Charles Division in Mid-States Hockey.  Even more impressive was the fact that the two wins came with several members of the team not playing due to various obligations where they could not be in attendance for the games. Duchesne, who already operates with a shorter bench than most other teams already, got the win against Timberland with just 11 skaters - 7 less than their full bench.  The following night against FZ North was nearly the same but with a few extra skaters.  The short handed wins gave the players a great sense of confidence as they get set to enter a part of their schedule that has some tougher opponent. Through their first six games of the season, four Duchesne skaters are in the Top

Duchesne Hockey 3-0 after Successful Weekend

After one week and three games, the Duchesne Ice Hockey team is 3-0 and sitting alone atop the standings in the St. Charles Division of Mid-States Hockey.  Duchesne notched a 10-4 win against Liberty on Friday Night, Nov. 8 and added to their win total the next night against Fort Zumwalt West - a team they had not beaten since 2019. In the Liberty game, the Pioneers had what they thought was a comfortable lead of 5-1.  However, Liberty made a comeback during the second period and got the game to 5-4 in the early part of the 3rd period.  However, less than a minute after that goal, Duchesne opened up an arsenal of offense and scored five unanswered goals which included a hat trick by Senior Nick Morgan in which all three goals were scored within one minute and nine seconds.  In addition to Morgan's hat trick, Freshman Owen Kelsey had a hat trick of his own and Senior Carson Kuhn had two goals.  Senior Trenton Gebben-Thompson and Sophomore Hudson Bomers

Duchesne Ice Hockey Opens Season with Victory over Holt

After a pre-season tournament that showed some promising results for the Duchesne Ice Hockey team, regular season play finally began for the Pioneers on Tuesday Night, Nov. 5.  The Pioneers took on Holt High School and came away with a 4-1 victory in fairly decisive fashion with Holt scoring their only goal late in the game. After only 1:46 into the game, Freshman Owen Pfeffer scored the first goal of Duchesne's season off of an assist from Senior Trenton Gebben-Thompson.  Gebben-Thompson then went on to score the next two goals himself and giving himself a three point night.  The second goal came late in the first period off of a Freshman Owen Kelsey and Senior Lucas Daleo assist.  That proved to be the game winning goal.  Goal #3 came at 8:08 left in the second period off of a Senior Nick Morgan assist. The fourth and final goal came from Senior Carson Kuhn off of an assist from Freshman Owen Kelsey and second assist from Senior Nick Morgan. The

2024-25 Ice Hockey Season Opens Tonight!

The Duchesne Ice Hockey team opens up regular season play tonight, Nov. 5 against Holt High School.  Holt has already played their first game of the season which resulted in a 2-2 tie against Francis Howell Central High School. Duchesne has a twenty game schedule ahead of them that takes them through Friday, Jan. 24 before playoffs begin in February.  With ten teams in the St. Charles Division this year (Francis Howell HS was added this year), they will have 18 home and away series with each of those teams and their two out of district games will be against Westminster Christian on Dec. 20 and MICDS on Jan. 6. In terms of game locations, Duchesne received a very favorable schedule with ten games at the St. Peter's RecPlex, five games at Wentzville Ice Arena, four games at Maryville University Hockey Center, and a game at Centene Community Ice Center.  In terms of game times, thirteen games will have a start time of 8:00pm or earlier this season.  Only five

DHS Ice Hockey Falls Short in Pre-Season Opener

Despite a very spirited effort through three full periods of play, the Duchesne Ice Hockey team fell short in their pre-season opener versus Fort Zumwalt West.  The first period of play saw Duchesne coming out ready to play against one of their strongest rivals.  The first period saw both teams going back and forth down the ice, but not able to score.  It wasn't until late in the first period that FZ West put up their first goal of the game to go up 1-0. The second and final goal put up by FZ West came in the second period, and from that point on Duchesne's defense and goaltending shut down the Jaguars the rest of the way.  However, it was the play of West's goalie that really shut down the Pioneers.  Despite some amazing shots and some great opportunities, Duchesne's offense could not get a goal past their senior goalie all night making the final score 0-2 in favor of the Jaguar's. Despite being down 2-0 for more than half of the game

Duchesne Ice Hockey Opens With Pre-Season Tournament

The Duchesne Pioneer Ice Hockey Team opens up play over the next few weeks as they will take part in the annual St. Chuck Cup Tournament.  This is a ten team tournament that features all of the teams represented in St. Charles County. Duchesne opens up play on Monday Night, Sept. 30 at 9:20pm and they will host the Ft. Zumwalt West Jaguars.  Both Duchesne and FZ West have won a State Championship in the past five years, so the matchup should be a good one.  There are three other games scheduled for the round robin portion of the tournament.  Those games and times are as follows - Thursday, Oct. 3 @7:10pm vs Timberland High School - Wentzville Ice Arena Thursday, Oct. 10 @7:10pm vs. Francis Howell High School - Wentzville Ice Arena Sunday, Oct. 13 @7:10pm vs. Holt High School - Wentzville Ice Arena The team would love to see Pioneer Nation in full force at the games so think about coming out and attending a game or two.  Cost is $5 at the door - f

Duchesne Hockey DOM-inates St. Dominic

It may have officially been a pre-season tournament game on the calendar, but Wednesday Night's Ice Hockey game against St. Dominic had all of the feel of a regular season game.  In the finale of the St. Chuck Cup Preseason Tournament, Duchense came away with a solid 6-0 win against their rival, St. Dominic. Senior Carson Kuhn scored the first goal of the game off of a Nick Morgan pass that went nearly the length of the ice and Kuhn finished it off to put Duchesne up 1-0 in the first period.  After that, it was all Duchesne to the final buzzer.  Senior Nick Morgan ended up with a hat trick in the game will all three assists coming from line mate Carson Kuhn.  Between Kuhn and Morgan, each player had four points in the contest - four goals and four assists.  Freshman Owen "Red" Kelsey added to the six goal total by adding two of his own and nearly garnering a hat trick himself in the contest. Defensively, Duchesne was relentless - challenging

Duchesne Hockey Scores Six Unanswered Goals in 6-3 Victory

If you watched the first half of the first period, you might have thought Duchesne's Ice Hockey team just wasn't "feeling it".  Timberland came out early and dictated the tempo of the game and by the halfway point of the first period were up 2-0 on Duchesne.  However, Coach Ed Kelsey kept repeating the phrase, "It's early boys.  There is still a lot of hockey to play."  That was the fuel that started the fire. Moments later, Junior Ryan Adkerson fired a long pass to Senior Nick Morgan who buried it in the net to get within a goal.  Not long after that, Trenton Gebben-Thompson took a face off and fired it down the length of the ice where Senior Carson Kuhn blew past the Timberland defenders and got the puck for a breakaway goal to tie up the score before the end of the first period. That momentum carried into the second period.  Tied at 2-2, Duchesne took a tripping penalty and were going to be short-handed for two minu

Duchesne Hockey to Play St. Dominic in Tournament Finale

On Wednesday evening, Oct. 16, Duchesne Ice Hockey will take on St. Dominic for the final game of the 3rd annual St. Chuck Cup Tournament.  Both teams ended up with the 3 seed in their respective brackets and therefore will play one another in the final game.  Game time is 8:20pm at Wentzville Ice Arena. Duchesne wrapped up round-robin play in the tournament on Sunday night, Oct. 13, against Holt High School where they posted a fantastic 8-0 victory which saw seven different players score goals in the game.  There were goals from Owen Kelsey (2), Nick Morgan, Carson Kuhn, Brendan Birkenmeier, Hudson Bomerschein, and Trenton Gebben-Thompson.  However, the highlight of the night came late in the 3rd period when Freshman Ella Burke scored her first goal of the season.  Moments before, she put a shot on the net and it rattled around the post and crossbar, but did not cross into the net.  Ella did not give up and put herself in position to put it away just a
