Career
Duncanson was born in Sudbury, Ontario and raised in Walden, Ontario. He played junior hockey for the Sudbury Wolves, and was drafted after his second season, by the Los Angeles Kings. Duncanson turned professional in 1986 with two games for the King during the 1985-86 season. While in the Kings' organization, Duncanson played mostly for their affiliate New Haven Nighthawks with callups to the NHL squad. He was traded to the Minnesota North Stars by the Kings for Daniel Berthiaume on September 6, 1990, then flipped by Minnesota to Winnipeg for Brian Hunt. On May 21, 1991, Duncanson was traded again, this time to the Washington Capitals. Duncanson never played for the Capitals, and he signed as a free agent with the New York Rangers on September 4, 1992. Duncanson played three seasons for the Rangers' organization, mostly with the Binghamton Rangers. In 1995, Duncanson left the Rangers organization, signing with the Orlando Solar Bears. Duncanson played three seasons in the IHL before retiring.
Duncanson is the head coach of the Voyageurs men's ice hockey team at Laurentian University, reclaiming the role in 2013, after previously serving as head coach from 1997–2000.[1][2]
