The Ducks wrapped up a concise preseason workout at the Moshofsky Center on August 26, marking the official transition from summer drills to full‑scale regular‑season preparation.
A player‑driven mindset
Head coach Dan Lanning spoke with local media after the session, emphasizing that the team’s daily practices have taken on a player‑led rhythm, fostering continuity and a noticeable lift in teamwork across the roster.
Thursday will be a rest day, giving players additional recovery before they reconvene on Friday to fine‑tune details and study the opponent they will face in the season opener.
Sharpening the details
Lanning said the staff is zeroing in on specific areas that need improvement, using the extra time to sharpen both physical execution and mental readiness for the challenges ahead.
Excitement is building as the Ducks look forward to stepping onto the field, with the coaching staff confident that the groundwork laid during this transitional period will translate into a strong start to the campaign.
