Ducey led the Stags to 186 wins on the tennis court and 181 wins on the hardwood from 1959 until his passing in 1974. His teams were characterized as ''well coached, sound in fundamentals, intense competitors, and sportsmanlike.'' The SCIAC Ted Ducey Award is presented annually to the senior basketball player who best exemplifies the ideals demonstrated by Coach Ducey. In October 1974, the CMC Board of Trustees saw fit to name the CMC gym ''Ducey Gymnasium'' out of respect for his tremendous contribution to CMC.
