The Long Island Ducks were a minor league hockey team in the Eastern Hockey League owned by Al and Renee Baron that played their home games at the Long Island Arena (usually referred to as Commack Arena).

The winner was the first entry received, from George Resch of Cambria Heights, Queens, who named the team "Ducks".

[1] The Ducks are most famously known for player-head coach John Brophy, who is believed to be the role model for Paul Newman's character of Reggie Dunlop in the movie Slap Shot.

[2] Brophy encouraged and epitomized "old-time hockey" and brash physical play, retired as the league's career leader in penalty minutes, and was once suspended for half of a season for knocking down a referee.

The name was later taken by the Long Island Ducks, an independent baseball team in Central Islip, which began play in 2000.
