Vote for Board of Directors

Patrick Duff:

I am the head coach of the 8u Thunder program and a coach in the 8u house program. I am interested in becoming the VP of Travel. I have an extensive hockey background as a player, official, and coach. I was born and raised in Fort Wayne and have been around hockey for over 35 years. I also previously coached the 12U Thunder and 14U Thunder teams. I previously served on the EYHA board as Risk manager and Referee Director. 

I am a practicing attorney and small business owner. My Wife Carrie and I have one (1) child, Benjamin, that participates in both 8U programs.

I am interested in becoming a board member and helping EYHA grow their program. I have several ideas that I believe would greatly assist in growing the travel program in Evansville, while ensuring that it operates appropriately.

Thanks,

Patrick

My wife Liza, and our two boys, Will (13) and Lincoln (9), live in Owensboro. We have been members of the EYHA since the 2021/2022 season when Will began playing as a second-year 10U player. Will has learned a great deal from Coaches Long, Hoon, and Dassell and has made many close friends during his time as a Thunder player. We were thrilled when Lincoln joined the 10U Thunder White this season, playing for Coach Paradis. Lincoln has shown significant improvement and is also enjoying his new friendships.

I have been grateful for the opportunity to give back to the EYHA by serving on the Board as Travel Rep 2 since 2023. I understand that I would have big shoes to fill following Michael as VP of Travel, but I would be honored to do so. This Association has become our family, and I would be grateful to continue the work the Board has undertaken to promote and advance Thunder Hockey as the next VP of Travel.

Thank you for your consideration. Go Thunder!!
