Past players have commented on what a great place Duncan is to play . Fan support is tremendous. The organization treats the players very well. They supply all outer equipment, sticks, tape, billet costs, as well as all post-game meals. The team also has great rivalries with both Victoria and Nanaimo. As well, the team has a great medical staff with an athletic therapist on staff. They also have a team doctor as well as a surgeon to deal with any medical problems that may arise.
When it comes to players, work ethic is first and foremost. They are interested in players that are honest. Skill is obviously important, but hard work will beat skill every time.
The team puts a very high emphasis on education. Their players must attend high school (if applicable) and pass. The local high school is located across the street from the arena. The school has a standard curriculum and is open to graduated players wishing to upgrade. As well, the team pays college tuition upon presentation of a passing grade in the course.
