Hockey stares down challenges, top foes
I ne Oregon club hockey team
will face Washington State this
weekend on the Ducks’ ice
Club hockey
Jon Roetman
Freelance Sports Reporter
Think back to all the weekend
warrior battles you’ve had with
your buddies.
Do you remember any of the com
plications that came along with setting
up the games? There was that one guy
who couldn’t play because of an injury.
Another couldn’t go because of work
that came up, and another didn’t show
because he couldn’t get a ride.
These are the same problems that
have hampered the Oregon Club Ice
Hockey team.
The Ducks are off to a 5-8 (4-2 Pa
cific-8 Conference) start, battling in
juries and illness that include the
loss of starting goalie Joe Fagliano,
who missed the season’s first six
games while suffering from mononu
cleosis. Starting forward Doug Wash
burn has yet to play because of a
knee injury.
“We’ve been plagued this year
(with injuries),” said fourth-year
Oregon head coach Garreth Mac
Donald. “Absolutely plagued.”
Since hockey is a club sport, Mac
Donald is also faced with problems —
such as players having too much
homework or not being able to afford
travel expenses — when it comes to
who he has available to put on the ice.
“My team has morphed through
out (the season),” MacDonald said.
“I almost don’t know who’s playing
before the game starts.”
The Ducks play in the Pac-8 con
ference, which is the Pac-10 minus
Oregon State and Arizona. The Pac
8 plays on the Division II level of the
American Collegiate Hockey Associ
ation, which is equivalent to Division
III NCAA hockey. The ACHA is sepa
rated into the Northeast, Southeast,
Central and West divisions, with the
top four teams from each division
going to the national tournament at
the end of the season.
The season got off to a rough start
for the Ducks, as they dropped their
first four contests by a combined
score of 39-12. The first two losses
were to Washington on Oct. 18 and
19. The Huskies, who as of Nov. 11,
ranked No. 7 in the West, won 7-4
and 11-6. In losses three and four,
the Ducks were forced to use third
string goalie Ben Greenberg against
No. 8 San Jose State Oct. 25 and 26,
falling 13-1 and 8-1.
The Ducks turned things around a
week later, as they returned home
and started a four-game Pac-8 win
ning streak, crushing Stanford 10-2
and 10-1. Los Angeles was the site of
the Ducks’ next two wins, edging
UCLA 6-4 and 3-2.
The Ducks looked to extend their
winning streak the following weekend,
returning home to face No. 9 Western
Washington. The Ducks held a 5-1
lead in the first of two contests, but
could not extend the winning streak
as the Vikings came back to win 7-5.
The Ducks quickly bounced back
from the letdown, defeating the
Vikings 3-2 the next evening.
Just when the Ducks got back to
.500, they faced a brutal three-game
road trip to Utah Nov. 21 through 23,
where they fell to No. 2 Weber State
9-1, No. 5 Utah State 16-2 and No. 3
Utah 11-3. MacDonald linked the
lopsided scores to the Ducks’ lack of
depth. Despite this, he said the
Ducks played very well for stretches
against Weber State and Utah.
The Ducks play their final two
games before winter break this
weekend against Washington State.
The Cougars are ranked No. 10 in
the West and are looking to avenge
last year’s losses to the Ducks, who
won 7-2 and 9-3 behind the play of
center Michael Tornabene and for
wards Nathan Vogel and Washburn.
Despite the 5-8 start, MacDonald
is confident the Ducks will turn
• things around after winter break,
with the return of several key play
ers from injuries and illness and the
addition of two new players, Jeff
Knebel and Dave Martin. Knebel is
transferring from Lane Community
College, while Martin has played
junior hockey.
“I expect us to go undefeated start
ing in January,” MacDonald said.
“That includes (Southern California),
which has spanked some teams.”
The Ducks have yet to defeat the
Trojans, who are ranked No. 6 in the
West, since the creation of the Pac-8
in 1995.
Another reason for MacDonald’s
positive outlook is the Ducks’ blend of
power and speed, exemplified in 6
foot-l-inch, 270-pound defenseman
Kyle Detweiler and 5-foot-8-inch, 137
pound forward Scott Tedrick.
Detweiler is the Duck’s biggest play
er and is said to be quite the force.
“He has the most unbelievable slap
shot,” MacDonald said. “It’s a laser, it’s
a cannon, it’s a rocket. If he can get all
270 (pounds) behind his slap shot,
you won’t want to be in front of it.”
Tedrick describes his style of play
as “balls to the wall hockey.” He is the
Ducks’ smallest player, but don’t be
confused, his lightning-quick speed
also makes him quite the force.
“He’s an exceptionally good penal
ty killer,” MacDonald said. “It’s almost
like there’s two of him on the ice.”
Tedrick said he feels the Ducks
have a strong chance of turning
things around after winter break.
“It’s a definite possibility,” said
Tedrick of the idea of finishing unde
feated. “Everyone’s getting kind of
healthy and we have some new guys
coming in.”
The Ducks also sport some local tal
ent in forward Gory Howard and cen
ter Josh Friedman. Howard, who
claims to be “the first bom and raised
player from Eugene to play NCAA
hockey,” attended Marist High School
and has played hockey for 15 years,
progressing through the Lane Ama
teur Hockey Association program and
Junior B and Junior A levels. Fried
man is a 2002 graduate of South Eu
gene High School who has five years
of ice hockey experience.
Both of this weekend’s games
against Washington State will be
played at the Lane County Fair
grounds with times to be an
nounced. Tickets are $5 for adults
and $2 for students.
