This past Saturday was about more than playing footy. It was about the community that surrounds it.

Before the first bounce at the 2026 USAFL Western Regionals, our captain Max “Juice” Ducey Max Ducey was able to join his fellow Steelheads on the field for the pre-game lineup and huddle. He was recognized with a well-deserved round of applause by the umps, his opponents, and his teammates, who all wore an armband in Steelhead blue in his honor.

Juice was also presented with the 2026 USAFL Western Regionals Sportsperson Award in recognition of the dedication, heart, and spirit he brings to our sport and community.

In the last few months, Juice has suffered several strokes and an aneurysm. Its has been a terrifying time for him, his family, and this club. However, Juice has exceeded all the medical odds and is fighting through it all, as he does everything.

We’d like to thank USAFL USAFL for the award and AACC PNW President Martin Gorman AACC Pacific Northwest for the presentation of the award, as well as Brian Barrish for his kind words. A special shoutout to our president Joss Joss for capturing who Juice is and what he means to this club and league. As he said so perfectly, Juice is the “spirit of footy”. We are so proud to call Juice our captain. ❤️💙
