At Mighty Ducks University, students will join coaches and players in a classroom setting where they are instructed on the rules, regulations and strategies of hockey. Students will also study equipment, watch videos, receive a tour of the locker room and be tested on their trivia knowledge to complete the course and receive their diploma. Ducks center Darryl Laplante, who spent part of this season with the NHL Detroit Red Wings, and goaltender Ryan Hoople will serve as professors.
Classes are free.
