Duane Edward Derksen is a Canadian ice hockey coach and former goaltender who was an All-American for Wisconsin[1] and led the Peoria Rivermen to a Kelly Cup championship in 2000.
Career
Derksen was a highly rated prospect in his junior career. In spite of poor statistics with the
Derksen continued to improve in his junior season, finishing in the top 10 in the nation in
After graduating with a bachelor's in history, Derksen began his professional career in the Washington Capitals' farm system. He spent three fairly unspectacular seasons bouncing between minor leagues, producing decent numbers but not playing well enough to get a shot at the NHL level. Once his rookie contract expired he was not resigned and then spent two years with the Madison Monsters before heading to Europe. Derksen had much more success with Oulun Kärpät and was able to sell his success to the Peoria Rivermen. He served as the team's starter for the 2000 season and led them to a league championship that season. Despite the success he had no takers at the next level of the minor leagues and returned to Europe. Derksen was back with the Rivermen two years later and, though his numbers were even better, he wasn't able to replicate the success he had had the first time around. After one more season of professional hockey he hung up his pads and called it a career.
With his playing days behind him, Derksen transitioned into Sales and marketing working in the field for two years before returning to college to earn a business degree.[5] He continues as an account manager, most recently with Ingersoll Rand (as of 2021), but did eventually return to ice hockey as an assistant coach in the summer of 2020.
