Hockey coach Duante’ Abercrombie has been involved in the local DC, Maryland, and Virginia hockey scene since he was just six years old. Abercrombie started as a player for the Fort Dupont Cannons. Over the last 14 years, Abercrombie’s coaching resume has grown long and impressive. He was entering his fourth year as an Assistant Coach at Stevenson University, his fifth year coaching the Washington Little Caps (U16AAA & u18AAA), and his seventh season at Georgetown Preparatory School.
Tuesday, Abercrombie announced that he’s taking the next step in his coaching journey and it’s a big one. Abercrombie was hired by the Toronto Maple Leafs to work as a Coaching Development Associate.
“My whole goal, even when I was playing, was to try to climb the ranks as high as I could to be able to expand my reach as far as the impact to be able to give back because hockey gave me so much, Fort Dupont gave me so much,” Abercrombie told The Color of Hockey’s William Douglas in October of 2019. “My goal is still being NHL-bound to coach now because I’ve gotten so many messages from players and people in general that to see someone that looks like you achieving at the level that I’ve achieved thus far is very inspiring and motivational to a lot of people.”
