Stothers

Ducks Assistant Coach Mike Stothers announced today he has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Melanoma of the Lymph Node. He is under care at UCI Health and will begin treatment and surgical intervention in the coming weeks.

Mike Stothers:
"I want to thank all my family, friends and the Ducks organization, led by our owners Henry and Susan Samueli, for their incredible support during this difficult period.
"If I could share one simple message to all: Listen to your body. If you notice something unusual, or don't feel like yourself, consult a doctor immediately. Please do not wait. It could be the best decision you ever make."
Ducks Owners Henry and Susan Samueli:
"Mike is one of the toughest and finest people in hockey. The Ducks organization and entire NHL community are firmly behind him. We also support and appreciate Mike's message. For him to take the time to try and help others while dealing with his own battle says a lot about who he is."
