Are Ducks Kosher?

Apparently not:
Jason Bailey signed a three-year contract with the Ducks organization in 2008. They assigned him to play for the minor league Bakersfield Condors where, he claimed in a lawsuit filed Tuesday, he "was subject to severe and/or pervasive harassment."

In addition to saying he was denied ice time for being Jewish, Bailey was "forced to endure a barrage of anti-Semitic, offensive and degrading verbal attacks regarding his Jewish faith" from the Condors' head coach, the complaint alleges.
I imagine there aren't a lot of Jewish hockey players, but it's hard to understand why a coach would go after this guy if it happened as alleged.
