Coach Mishchenko was a player at Rutgers University and spent his early hockey career with the Flyers Youth. Tyler has been a Protec Ducks head coach for two seasons and has been with the program for many more. This season, Tyler has led the Protec Ducks Squirt A team to two tournament titles and has his team in the running for the NJYHL Playoffs. Coach Mishchenko is, "Looking to build upon our great season and working to build an even stronger squirt program in the future." 

Coach Vallejo spent his youth hockey days with Comcast AAA (now Virtua) and was part of the University of Maine club hockey team. Ray coaches the Mite A and Peewee AA teams for the Protec Ducks. Under his guidance, the Peewee AA team won the Maryland Regional Silversticks Championship and earned a birth to Silversticks Internationals in Port Huron, Michigan. Coach Vallejo remarked, " I'm looking forward to the spring and working with new players, and of course meeting new families. Coaching is so rewarding for me, and I truly enjoy watching the players make significant progress."  Of these announcements, Hockey Director Patrick Alvin was quoted as saying, "Based off the two immensely successful fall seasons these two coaches have had so far, I have every confidence they will make the upcoming Spring Predators program just as successful."

This season, the squirts will attend 1 or 2 tournaments, have one team practice a week, and access to two or three other clinics a week. Players at this age level are between the 2010-2009 birth years. The season will begin in late March and go to mid June. Register before February 14 to receive a $50 discount. Hurry as spots are filling fast!
