Thank You

Following the decision not to continue the Pacific Hockey League following the inaugural 2022 season we paused to reflect on the experience.

Thank you is not enough to describe our feelings toward everyone who made the 2022 season the success it was. In this short time, PHL created a positive impact for the growth of ice hockey in Australia.

We would like to say how proud we are of what was achieved in one season of hockey. We proved ourselves as a club, hosting high quality games with an amazing atmosphere, in a rink built for hockey. Everyone from our volunteers to our iceHQ staff, you are all superstars.

Our playing group was one of the most bonded teams we have witnessed in sport. The friendships created will be lasting. We feel for the players who may choose not to continue their careers, and wish nothing but the best for those continuing.

The Ducks fans are THE BEST. From seasoned hockey lovers to the many first timers. You were loud and proud. For the fans who found us and the players who love playing here, we will continue to work toward having an elite team who calls iceHQ home.

We will continue our commitment to develop the next generation of ice hockey in Melbourne, with our Icehq Ducks junior teams.

Until we quack together again.
