We're heartbroken to hear the news about Nic Kerdiles, who died in a motorcycle accident this morning. An Irvine native, Nic became the first player from Orange County to play for the Ducks, in 2017. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones.
Kerdiles got into three NHL games, all with the Ducks. He primarily played with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL.
He was traded to the Jets in 2018 and played three games with the Manitoba Moose before retiring and switching to real estate at 24.
We send out condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
