Trent Sullivan

A longtime Ducks fan and true miracle, Trent Sullivan, celebrated our 30th Anniversary season as 21st Duck while also celebrating a milestone of his own - the 30th anniversary of his heart transplant. Born on July 9, 1993, Trent's health journey began immediately with a diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot and a subsequent infant heart transplant at five months old. Despite undergoing heart and kidney transplants, a pacemaker implant, chemotherapy, and numerous surgeries, Trent persevered with a positive outlook and a commitment to helping children and families facing similar challenges. 

Trent's selflessness was evident in his dedication to many local charitable organizations especially Grants Wishes, a nonprofit created by his family in honor of his brother, Grant, who passed away from childhood cancer in 2002.

Ethan Baroldi

Ethan has battled through four heart surgeries, the first coming at six weeks old, and the most recent in 2020. 

Passionate about hockey, Ethan began skating at The Rinks - Anaheim ICE at age six as part of the Ducks Learn to Play program. He is now a member of the Jr. Ducks.

Ethan inspires those around him by not letting his early health diagnosis define who he is, and he is proud to share the story of his scars to educate his friends and teammates.
