Oregon Ducks Ice Hockey: 2023-2024 Season Review
As the calendar creeps closer to October another Ducks sport season is about to get under-way. With hockey season just around the corner today we will be reviewing last year’s hockey season to help Duck fans get caught up on everything puck with the Ducks.
Unlike most of Oregon’s other sports teams, the hockey team is not at the varsity level but is instead a club sport. This means the team is entirely self-funded. The best way to support the team is to attend home games at The Rink Exchange in Eugene, the Pavilion in Bend for one weekend this season, or Autzen stadium for one game this season.
The other way to support the team is to purchase some of the best-looking hockey Jerseys I’ve ever seen. ATQ will let you know when these go on sale again.
The Ducks compete in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) division 1. The ACHA is the national association for Non-NCAA Collegiate Hockey throughout the US and helps organize collegiate club hockey across the country. Similar to how major conferences used to be organized, the ACHA is organized into geographical conferences. Oregon competes as an independent in Division 1 as Oregon’s Pacific Northwest rivals compete in Division 2. Last season the Ducks played one Pacific NW division 2 rival, Washington, and won both games 5-1.
Last season the Ducks played 27 games in total and 25 ACHA games accumulating 22 points by going 8-17-0-0. That’s 6 regulation wins, 2 overtime wins, 17 regulation losses, 0 Overtime losses and 0 ties. The ACHA uses the Olympic point system which is:
· 3 points are awarded for a regulation win
· 2 points are awarded for an Overtime win
· 1 point for an overtime loss
· 1 point for a Tie
· 0 points for a regulation loss
The Ducks also played 2 exhibition games against the Rouge Valley Royals of the USPHL Premier league last season, winning both games by a score of 5-2 and 4-2.
This season the Ducks will look to improve their record with a 27-game ACHA schedule that gets under-way Friday October 11th in Las Vegas against UNLV. Stay tuned this week for a full preview of the hockey season, including what we will be doing to cover the team here at ATQ.
The first news of the season is a sad one – this week goaltender Henry “Hank” Bradford passed away:

How to stay cool and limit health risks during Oregon summer heat
PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) – As we approach the hottest days of the year, people are finding ways to stay cool.
It’s been two weeks since Portland turned on splash pads across the city.
The water was just one of the ways people were keeping cool on Friday.
“Did you see our cooler? We have a bunch of water in there. More water, stay in the shade, I mean look at these trees, it makes you feel comfortable,” said Beaverton resident Ailan Roman.
Oregon Health Authority says young children and older adults are just a couple of groups of people that face a higher risk of heat related illness.
OHA says in addition to staying hydrated and lounging in the shade, wearing loose fitted, lightweight clothing can make a big difference.
Roman makes sure her, and her grand kids are protected using several different defenses.
“Sunscreen, we have to put that in order to protect our skin,” Roman said.
When temperatures rise, OHA officials recommend staying in air-conditioned buildings.
But for some Portlanders, that’s not always an option, so to cool down, they must get creative.
“We get cheap kiddy pools, and we just stick our feet in it, drink lots of water and beer and weight our feet in the pool and that’s how we stay cool,” said park goer, Jill.
And most Oregonians can agree, water in all its forms is the best way to beat the heat.“You have the water view and then you have the water fountain and I think it’s quiet, I don’t see no issues around,” said Roman.
The CDC shares how you can recognize heat related illnesses. While OHA shares how to avoid issues in the heat.

Iconic Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest returns on Oregon Coast
Video shows rafting Oregon’s iconic Wallowa-Grande Ronde River
Learn about an overnight rafting trip on a famous 40 mile stretch that includes both the Wallowa and Grande Ronde rivers.
The beloved Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest returns for a series of events from June 19 to June 21.
In 1964, this event was founded by four locals to lift community spirits after a tsunami washed out the Elk Creek Bridge. Now, the event draws thousands of tourists and is recognized as the first and oldest sandcastle contest in Oregon.
Registration for the contest is available online through the Cannon Beach events site.
To start off the weekend, contestants can pickup their competition materials from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on June 19.
The same day, Bill Rose will provide a live sandcastle demonstration on the beach off Second Street from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Then, the kickoff celebration will take place at Steidel Community Hall from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
Competition day starts 8:30 a.m. on June 20 when the beach opens for parking. During the time of the contest, parking is allowed in every public parking lot, on the beach and the sides of the street.
The contest will be on the beach west of Ocean Avenue near Madison Street.
The artists can begin crafting their masterpieces at 9 a.m. when the sandcastle building starts. Only natural materials native to the beach can be used.
Final judging takes place at 2 p.m. Judges are looking for team effort, enthusiasm, composition, detail, adherence to the rules and final appearance.
Spectators and competitors can celebrate from 7 to 10 p.m. with s’mores and music on the beach at the west end of Second Street. There is free admission for the party.
For those looking to get their steps in, the weekend wraps up with the Singing Sands 5K Fun Run at 9 a.m. June 21.
