Roster, 12AA, AA (Anaheim Lady Ducks)

Zealin Cronk

We are excited that coach Zealin is returning to the LD program for his 3rd season.  

Zealin’s extensive hockey background as a player and coach along with taking the 16AA team to nationals in back-to-back years have shown his tremendous value to the LD program.  Zealin grew up in Huntington Beach and played for the Jr Ducks from the mite level on up. 

Having an advanced grasp of the game even as a mite player, Zealin started coaching at camps and helping as a junior coach with teams by the time he was 12.  After playing prep, then Junior hockey in Massachusetts injuries sidelined him. The obvious step was to move into coaching which led Zealin to mentor in the Rinks and jr. Ducks programs where he quickly became coordinator of youth hockey at Westminster ICE and head of the Beckman Area high school program. 

Zealin coached with the Jr. Ducks for 6 years and worked with various Lady Ducks players already for training which was a major reason he felt transitioning to the girls program in 2020 was the next step. He has helped to build confidence, teamwork and skill/strategy growth, making him a great fit for the 12AA level. ×
