Duke played with the Black Hawks until he was claimed on waivers by the New York Americans from Chicago, February 13, 1931. Dukowski played with the Americans for over a full season, and was then loaned back to Chicago by the Americans for remainder of 1933-34 season, December 15, 1933.

Dukowski then coached the Regina Victorias for a few seasons.
