On Tuesday evening, the Ice Hockey playoff schedule was announced for all of the Mid-States Hockey Clubs for the 2024 Playoffs. The Duchesne Hockey Club will be playing in the Founders Cup which will be an eight team bracket, split into two 4-team pools. Each team will play three opponents in a round-robin format with the winners moving on to the next round of the playoffs. Duchesne Hockey will have the following three games:
Friday, Feb.2 - Duchesne vs. FZ North - St. Peter's RecPlex @7:45pm
Saturday, Feb. 3 - Duchesne vs. Westminster Christian - Centene Ice Center @9:00pm
Wednesday, Feb. 7 - Duchesne vs. Holt - Centene Ice Center @9:40pm
Duchesne has played against all three of their opponent during the regular season and all three of these matchups should offer competitive outcomes. Offensively, Duchesne has consistently been led by points leaders Nick Morgan (29), Carson Kuhn (19), and Liam Daleo (11). Unfortunately, injury has landed Daleo on the injured list, but the return of Junior Trenton Gebben-Thompson at the semester break has helped to fill that void. Several Freshman have also stepped up their roles on offense.
Defensively, Duchesne is led by upper classmen Lucas Daleo, Auggie Lee, Max Bomerschein, and Ryan Adkerson. Finally, Netminders Dillon Kuhn (.869 Save Percentage) and Asher Olson (.838 Save Percentage) will continue to provide experience between the pipes in the upcoming games.
The student TV giveaway is also still in play. For each student that comes to a playoff game, they will receive TWO entries for the end of season 55 inch TV giveaway. Please see the Duchesne Hockey Cheerleaders at the game for your entry tickets.
Speaking of our Hockey Cheerleaders, it is important to note that only six teams in all of Mid-States Hockey (34 teams total) have a Hockey Cheerleading Squad, and Duchesne is very proud to be one of those teams. Our cheerleaders have been with us through thick and thin this year and have always kept the students and fans engaged from the beginning to the end of every game. We can't thank them enough for their dedication this season.
We look forward to see everyone at the upcoming playoff games!!
