Introduction
Anaheim Ducks compete in the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Pacific Division, and play their home games at Honda Center.
The team was founded in 1993 by the Walt Disney Company as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, a name based on the 1992 film The Mighty Ducks. In 2005, Disney sold the franchise to Henry and Susan Samueli, who, along with then-general manager Brian Burke, changed the name of the team to the Anaheim Ducks before the 2006–07 season.
The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim were founded in 1993 by The Walt Disney Company. The franchise was awarded by the NHL in December 1992, along with the rights to a Miami team that would become the Florida Panthers. An entrance fee of $50 million was required, half of which Disney would pay directly to the Los Angeles Kings in order to "share" the Greater Los Angeles media market.
The Ducks had won the Stanley Cup in 2006-07 season by defeating Ottawa Senators 4-1 in Stanley Cup Final, and currently become the first California team to won the Cup.
Notable Anaheim Ducks legends: Scott Niedermayer, Temmu Selanne, Chris Pronger, Paul Kariya, Etc
