Sudarshan "Sudsie" Maharaj, the longtime goaltending coach for the Anaheim Ducks, recently announced he has pancreatic cancer. He has been receiving treatment, and scheduled for an upcoming surgery. He anticipates a return to the Ducks following surgery. 

"While this has been a very difficult time, I have had amazing support from my family and the Ducks organization, especially owners Henry and Susan Samueli...I plan on fighting this disease vigorously with the help of my tremendous doctors both in Toronto and with the Ducks. The hockey community is an amazingly supportive place, and I look forward to seeing you all soon.”
