The Anaheim Ducks (formerly known as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and previously often referred to as the Anaheim Mighty Ducks) are a professional ice hockey team based in Anaheim, California. They play in the National Hockey League (NHL).


Franchise history

File:Anaheim Mighty Ducks.gif
Mighty Ducks primary logo (1993-2006). The logo was subsequently used in the Disney movie D2: The Mighty Ducks. Disney design elements appear in this logo, such as team mascot Wildwing's goalie mask.

The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim were founded in 1993 by The Walt Disney Company. The team's original name was chosen from the Disney movie The Mighty Ducks, based on a group of misfit kids who turn their losing youth hockey team into a winning team. Disney subsequently made an animated series called Mighty Ducks, featuring a fictional Mighty Ducks of Anaheim team that consisted of anthropomorphized ducks.

The team was the first tenant of Arrowhead Pond (now the Honda Center), a brand-new arena in Anaheim located a short distance east of Disneyland and across the street from Angel Stadium. The arena was completed the same year the team was founded.

With their first-ever draft pick, the Mighty Ducks selected Paul Kariya fourth overall in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. Kariya would quickly become a fan favorite and the cornerstone of the young Mighty Ducks franchise. As team captain, he would bring them within a game of Stanley Cup glory in 2003.

On February 7, 1996, a major trade was made between the Mighty Ducks and the Winnipeg Jets. The Ducks sent Chad Kilger, Oleg Tverdovsky, and a third-round pick to the Jets in return for Marc Chouinard, a fourth-round draft pick, and, most notably, star right winger Teemu Selanne. Selanne's arrival helped the Ducks make the playoffs for the first time. On a line with Steve Rucchin and Kariya, his chemistry with the latter made them one of the highest-scoring tandems in the league.

After missing the playoffs in their first three seasons, the Mighty Ducks finished 1996-97 fourth in the Western Conference, earning home-ice advantage for a first-round playoff series with the Phoenix Coyotes. The Coyotes initially took a series 3-2 lead, but the Ducks won the last two including Game 7 at home to win their inaugural playoff series. However, Anaheim was swept by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings in the second round. Even though Detroit officially swept the Ducks, every game was close in the series. Three games went into overtime, including one that went into double overtime, and one that went into triple overtime. After a disappointing 1997-98 season, The Ducks returned to the playoffs in 1998-99, but once again lost in four to the Red Wings in a more convincing manner than in 1997 ending with a 3-0 loss on home ice, this time in the Western Quarterfinals.

After a three-year playoff hiatus, Anaheim qualified for the 2003 Stanley Cup Playoffs. For the third straight postseason in which they participated, the Mighty Ducks met the defending Stanley Cup champion Red Wings. Many hockey fans were expecting another easy win for Detroit. This time, however, Anaheim shocked the hockey world when they swept Detroit, with Rucchin's series-clincher on Curtis Joseph coming in overtime of Game 4. The Ducks would then defeat the #1-seeded Dallas Stars in six games in the Conference Semifinals and make quick work of the upstart Minnesota Wild (only allowing one goal) in the Western Conference Final to earn their first-ever Western Conference championship and berth in the Stanley Cup Finals.

The 2003 Stanley Cup Finals against the New Jersey Devils was a battle between two elite goaltenders, Martin Brodeur for New Jersey and Jean Sebastien Giguere for Anaheim. Quite possibly the most remembered moment of the series, Game 6 saw Paul Kariya on the wrong side of a fierce body check from New Jersey captain Scott Stevens. Kariya was knocked out and sent to the dressing room. But eleven minutes later, Kariya returned from the dressing room and scored to help the Ducks tie the series at three games apiece. Anaheim could not complete their Cinderella run, though, as they lost a hard-fought Stanley Cup Final in seven games to the Devils.

For his fine play during the postseason, Ducks goaltender Jean Sebastien Giguere won the Conn Smythe Trophy as Most Valuable Player of the playoffs. He is only the fifth goaltender in NHL history to have won the trophy as a member of the losing team.

After losing Paul Kariya to the Colorado Avalanche (he joined Selänne, who also signed with Colorado after two seasons with the San Jose Sharks) via free agency shortly after the season ended, the Ducks signed superstar Sergei Fedorov from Detroit and Vaclav Prospal. Still, 2004 was a major disappointment for the Ducks as they missed the playoffs completely, and suffered low attendance figures despite their magical playoff run of the previous year.

During the summer of 2004, as the NHL and the NHL Players Association's labor dispute was headed towards a long lockout, Disney tried to sell the team but received a low offer of $40-million US, less than the franchise's original price.

Anaheim Ducks are a team that nobody likes. The Americans need to stop having lame ass teams (with mostly Canadians) making them look good. It's good the Cup will spend the summer in Canada anyway.

In 2005, Broadcom co-founder Henry Samueli of Irvine, California and his wife, Susan, bought the Mighty Ducks from The Walt Disney Company for a reported $75 million (USD). The Samuelis have pledged to keep the team in Anaheim, much as Arturo Moreno did when he purchased the Anaheim Angels from Disney. Brian Burke, former Vancouver Canucks General Manager and President, was appointed GM and Executive Vice-President of the Mighty Ducks on June 20, 2005.

On August 1, 2005, former James Norris Memorial Trophy-winning defenceman Randy Carlyle was hired as the seventh coach in team history. Burke was familiar with Carlyle's coaching ability, as he had coached the Manitoba Moose from 1996-2001 (International Hockey League) and 2004-05 (American Hockey League). The Moose had become the Canucks' farm club in 2001. Carlyle replaced Mike Babcock, who left the Ducks to coach the Red Wings.

Also in 2005, the Mighty Ducks brought back fan favorite Teemu Selanne, who had been a star player for the team from 1996-2001. Selanne played the previous NHL season with the Avalanche. Burke made his first big splash as the team's general manager when he signed defenceman Scott Niedermayer, the 2004 Norris Trophy winner and older brother of Ducks centerman Rob, to a four-year contract, from New Jersey.

2006 saw the Ducks trade away big-name players with big contracts such as Petr Sykora and Sergei Fedorov in favor of the younger players such as Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Chris Kunitz, and Joffrey Lupul. The Ducks had a hard start to season, but the plan was ultimately successful; the Ducks became one of the best teams in the league and ended up the sixth seed in the West. The Ducks then beat the heavily favored Calgary Flames in seven games and Colorado Avalanche in a sweep on a run through the playoffs, only to be stopped in the conference finals by the Edmonton Oilers in five games, who had swept the Ducks in the regular season. The team banked on its youth again, seeing Lupul, Getzlaf, Kunitz, and Ilya Bryzgalov turn in stellar performances. In fact, Bryzgalov took over the starting job from Giguere during game 5 of the Calgary series and broke Giguere's 2003 record for consecutive shutout time.

Mighty Ducks alternate logo (2004-06).

On January 26, 2006, the team announced, effective with the 2006-07 season, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim would change their name to the Anaheim Ducks. This included logo and team color changes which were unveiled at a special ceremony five months later. Many Ducks fans successfully petitioned the Samuelis to keep Wildwing as the current mascot because of the team's recent success and as a link to the past. Along with the new name, their home ice (the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim) was renamed the Honda Center as Arrowhead Water's naming rights had expired.

On July 3, the Ducks traded young sniper Lupul, defenceman prospect Ladislav Smid, a 2007 first-round draft pick, a second-round choice in 2008, and a conditional first-round selection to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for star defenceman Chris Pronger, who had publicly requested a trade from the Oilers ten days earlier citing personal reasons, with many speculating that his wife was unhappy living in Edmonton.

On November 9, 2006, the Ducks defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-0 at General Motors Place in Vancouver, British Columbia to improve their season record to 12-0-4. The win set an NHL open era record by remaining undefeated in regulation for the first 16 games of the season, eclipsing the previous mark set by the 1983-84 Edmonton Oilers. They were subsequently shut out by the Flames the following game, 3-0, ending their streak.

On December 12, 2006 the Ducks defeated the Florida Panthers on the road 5-4. They broke a franchise record for their sixth road win in a row. They also improved their record that night to 24-3-6 54 Points. No team having played 33 games had reached 54 points since the 1979 Philadelphia Flyers.

On December 13, 2006 the Ducks beat the Atlanta Thrashers to improve their road record to 12-1-2. The 26 points set the NHL mark for the most points on the road through 15 games. The previous record-holders, 1951-52 Detroit Red Wings had 25 points (10-0-5).

On January 16, 2007 the Ducks played in their franchise's 1000th regular season game.

On March 11, 2007 the Ducks recorded their franchise's 1000th point with a 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks, which improved their franchise all-time record to 423-444-155, 1001 points.

On April 7, 2007, the Ducks won their first Pacific Division title in franchise history, when the Vancouver Canucks defeated the second-place San Jose Sharks at HP Pavilion in the Sharks' final game of the season. Anaheim also played their last game of the 2006-07 NHL season that day against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Anaheim won the game 4-3, finishing off the season with a total of 110 points, setting a new franchise record for season points.

They started the playoffs as the number two seed in the Western Conference playing the Minnesota Wild, winning the series 4 games to 1. Next up was the Vancouver Canucks, whom they also defeated 4 games to 1. They faced the Detroit Red Wings and won the Western Conference Finals 4 games to 2. A 4-3 win on May 22nd at the Honda Center gave the Ducks their second Western Conference title, and placed them in the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time. They faced off against the Ottawa Senators, on Monday, May 28th, 2007, in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, a game they won 3-2. Then on Wednesday May 30th, 2007, they defeated the Senators, 1-0 to take a 2-0 series lead back to Ottawa. On Saturday June 2, 2007, the Ducks were defeated in Game 3, by a score of 5-3. On Monday June 4, 2007 the Ducks defeated the Senators 3-2, to take a 3 games to 1 lead in the Finals. The Ducks can win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history with a win in Game 5 on Wednesday, June 6, 2007, at the Honda Center.

Ducks win the Stanley Cup of 2007 in a score of 5-2 over the Ottawa Senators.

Team colors and mascot

Logos

The Ducks' logo features a webbed foot forming a "D" followed by the other letters in the word "Ducks" in upper-case letters. The text itself is gold (which sometimes may appear as bronze as well) with orange and black accents (forming a three dimensional appearance). The entire logo is in turn outlined by white. The city of Anaheim's name appears in smaller upper-case print, above the team name. The Ducks are the only current team in the NHL besides the New York Rangers to feature their team name spelled out in a scripted form on the front of their jersey rather than a logo. This does not include alternate jerseys or throwback jerseys worn by other teams.

The old logo of the Ducks prior to the name change featured an old-style goaltender mask, shaped to form the appearance of a duck bill. Behind the mask are two intersecting hockey sticks, a black circle and a triangle (the color of the triangle is either green or gray, depending on how the logo is used).

Jerseys

The Ducks have officially worn two unique regular jerseys and three unique third jerseys in their franchise history:

Original Mighty Ducks jerseys

The original jerseys of the Ducks (then the Mighty Ducks) used jade, obergine, white and gray as primary colors for both the home and away jerseys. The team's dark jerseys were dominantly eggplant in color with diagonal gray and white stripes; the jersey is jade below the stripes, which appear on the arms and waist. The white jerseys were similar, except that the eggplant is replaced mainly with white. On the shoulders of both jerseys are patches featuring a forward-facing version of the main logo's "duck mask," surrounded by a circle reading "Mighty Ducks of Anaheim."

Ducks jerseys after the name change

About a year after the team was purchased from the Walt Disney Company by the Samuelis, the team underwent a name change (dropping the "Mighty") and received new jerseys as well. The new jersey is similar to the team's most recent third jersey prior to the name change; it features the word "Ducks" on the front, with diagonal gold, white, black and orange stripes down the arms and waist. The orange pays a nod to Orange County.

Third jerseys

The third jerseys of the Mighty Ducks were created in 1996, 1998, and 2004. The 1996 jersey was jade with eggplant and white stripes on the collar and on the end of the sleeves. The logo was of team mascot Wildwing wearing a Mighty Ducks jersey while breaking through a sheet of ice. The jersey was short-lived; because of much criticism, it was retired at the end of the year.

The 1998 third jersey came with a rare fourth jersey partner. The third was a jade-colored jersey with silver and eggplant stripes at the shoulders outlined in thin yellow, and a silver stripe at the bottom. It had the Mighty Ducks logo in the center of the chest. The fourth jersey was much like it. It was white with jade, eggplant, and silver stripes at the shoulders of the jersey, but no bottom stripe. These jerseys saw action until the end of 1999-2000, when they stopped playing with their third jerseys, and used only the fourth. At the end of 2000-01, the fourth was also retired.

The 2004 third jersey was black with purple and gray stripes at the waist and on the sleeves. It had the alternate script logo of the present Mighty Ducks and old-style laces at the neck, as well as a shoulder patch displaying an interlocking "MD" (for "Mighty Ducks"). The popularity of this jersey amongst fans was so great it replaced the eggplant and jade jersey, serving as the home jersey for the last half of the 2005-06 season and playoffs. It was dropped following the season as the team went to a modified name, new uniforms, and color scheme.

Mascot

File:AnaheimDucks.jpg
A statue of Wild Wing, the mascot of the Ducks.

The official mascot for the Anaheim Ducks is an anthropomorphized duck by the name of Wild Wing. He has been the team's mascot since its inaugural season, and his name was chosen through fan voting. He wears a Ducks jersey with the number 93 on the back, obviously referring to the year the Ducks became an NHL team. He regularly descends from the rafters of the arena when making his in-game entrances.

His physical appearance is similar to the duck mask in the original Mighty Ducks logo. A bronze statue of Wild Wing is also located outside the team's arena, Honda Center.

During the same time in which the team announced a name change as well as change in jersey designs, there was an attempt by the team's owners to change or replace the mascot, Wild Wing, but was halted after a highly successful petition by fans.
