DUB Alumni

Keoni Texeira (Portland 2013-18) was returned by the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) to the ECHL’s Indy Fuel after a brief loan. In four games with the Barracuda, the 24-year-old played in four contests where he was held pointless but did manage seven penalty minutes. The Fuel captain returns to the club where he has 17 points (3G-14A) in 34 games this season (his third with Indy).

The defenseman from Fontana. CA played his entire five-year DUB career with the Winterhawks where he picked up 143 points (39G-104A) in 344 games.

A lifelong season ticket holder for the Regina Pats. His fascination with the Pats became an obsession at around 16-years of age when he stumbled across an old published list of ALL-TIME REGINA PATS SCORING and GOALTENDING. The list that was published was incomplete and that was not acceptable to him. Over the last 20-plus years, he has done what he can to finish that list and continues to try to complete the history of the Pats. He is an unofficial Pats historian.
