The '''Anaheim Ducks''' are a professional ] team based in ], ]. They are members of the ] of the ] of the ] (NHL). Since their inception, the Ducks have played their home games at ].

The club was founded in 1993 by ] as the '''Mighty Ducks of Anaheim''', a name based on the ] '']''. Disney sold the franchise in 2005 to ], who changed the name of the team to the Anaheim Ducks before the ]. In their 15 year existence, the Ducks have made the playoffs six times, winning two Western Conference Championships (2003 and 2007) and one ] championship (]).

==Franchise history==
{{Newsrelease|date=October 2008}}

] (1993–2006). The logo was subsequently used in the Disney movie '']''. Disney design elements appear in this logo, such as team mascot ]'s goalie mask.]]
===1993–2004: Disney Era===

The '''Mighty Ducks of Anaheim''' were founded in 1993 by ]. 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 ] called '']'', featuring a fictional Mighty Ducks of Anaheim team that consisted of ] ]s led by the mighty duck Wildwing.

The team was the first tenant of the ] (later the Arrowhead Pond and now the Honda Center), a brand-new arena in Anaheim located a short distance east of ] and across the ] from ]. The arena was completed the same year the team was founded, with the naming rights originally being held by ] .

With their first-ever draft pick, the Mighty Ducks selected ] fourth overall in the ]. 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 ] glory in ].

During the ] they would finish fourth in the division with 71 points. Their record would be one of the best of a first year expansion team but their expansion brother the ] would have a better one.

During the ] Duck ] made his NHL debut. The team would finish last in the Pacific Division with 37 points.

On February 7, 1996, the Mighty Ducks made a blockbuster deal with the ]. The Ducks sent ], Tverdovsky, and a third-round pick to the Jets in return for ], a fourth-round draft pick, and, most notably, star right winger ]. On a line with ] and Paul Kariya, Selanne's chemistry with the latter made them one of the highest-scoring tandems in the league.

====Taste of success====

After missing the playoffs in their first three seasons, the Mighty Ducks finished ] fourth in the ], earning home-ice advantage for a first-round playoff series with the ]. 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 ] 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 ], the ] saw the Ducks once again contending for the playoffs. Late in the season, the Ducks had the chance to face the Phoenix Coyotes, a team they played well against that season, in the first round due to Phoenix holding fourth seed and the Ducks holding fifth. But a late season cold streak dropped the Ducks to sixth seed and had face the third seed Red Wings, whom they did not play well against. Once again, the Ducks lost in four to the Red Wings, this time 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 ]. For the third straight post-season in which they participated, the Mighty Ducks met the defending Stanley Cup champion Red Wings. This time, however, Anaheim shocked the hockey world as they swept Detroit in the series with Rucchin's series-clincher on ] coming in overtime of Game 4. The Ducks would then defeat the #1-seeded ] in six games in the Conference Semifinals, which was noted for Game 1 being the fourth longest game in NHL history, with the Ducks winning in the fifth overtime period thanks to Petr Sykora. In the Conference Finals, the Ducks would make quick work of the upstart ] (only allowing one goal the entire series) to earn their first-ever Western Conference championship and berth in the Stanley Cup Finals.

The ] against the ] was a battle between two elite goaltenders, ] for New Jersey and ] for Anaheim. It was also noted for two brothers, ] for the Ducks, and his older brother ] for the Devils, competing for the same prize. 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 ]. Kariya was knocked out and sent to the dressing room. But eleven minutes later, Kariya returned from the dressing room and scored the game winning goal to help the Ducks tie the series at three games apiece. Anaheim could not complete their ] run, though, as they lost a hard-fought Stanley Cup Final in seven games to the Devils. For his fine play during the post-season, Ducks goaltender Jean Sebastien Giguere won the ] as ] of the playoffs. He became only the fifth player, and fourth goaltender, in NHL history to have won the trophy as a member of the losing team.

====Disappointment====
After losing Paul Kariya to the ] (he joined Selanne, who also signed with Colorado after two seasons with the ]) via ] shortly after the season ended, the Ducks signed star ] from ] and ] from ]. Still, ] 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.

===2004-Present: The Samueli Era===
]
During the summer of 2004, as the NHL and the ]'s labor dispute was headed towards a long ], Disney tried to sell the team but received a low offer of $40-million US, less than the franchise's original price. In 2005, ] co-founder ] of ] 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 ] did when he purchased the ] from Disney. ], former ] General Manager and President, was appointed GM and Executive Vice-President of the Mighty Ducks on June 20, 2005.

On August 1, 2005, former ]-winning defenceman ] was hired as the seventh coach in team history. Burke was familiar with Carlyle's coaching ability, as the latter had coached the ] from 1996–2001 (]) and 2004–05 (]); the Moose had been the Canucks' farm club since 2001. Carlyle replaced ], who left the Ducks to coach the Red Wings. Also during that summer, the Mighty Ducks brought back former star and fan favorite Teemu Selanne, and made their first big free-agency splash under Burke when he signed defenceman ], the 2004 ] winner and older brother of Ducks forward ], to a four-year contract, from New Jersey.

The ] season saw the Ducks trade away big-name players with big contracts such as ] and ] in favor of younger players such as ], ], ], and ]. The Ducks had a rough start to season, but the plan was ultimately successful; the Ducks became one of the best teams in the league down the stretch and ended up the sixth seed in the West. In an interesting playoff where the bottom 4 seeds knocked off the top 4 seeds, The Ducks beat the heavily favored ] in seven games and ] in a sweep on a run through the playoffs, only to be stopped in the conference finals by the ] in five games, who had swept the Ducks in the regular season series. The team banked on its youth again, seeing Lupul, Getzlaf, Kunitz, and ] 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 shutout streak.

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 ] 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 ] as ]'s naming rights had expired.

====2006–07: The Stanley Cup arrives in Anaheim====
{{wikinews|Portal:Hockey/2007 Stanley Cup|2007 Stanley Cup}}
On July 3, 2006, the Ducks traded young sniper Lupul, defenceman prospect ], a 2007 first-round draft pick, a second-round choice in 2008, and a conditional first-round selection in 2008 to the ] in exchange for star defenceman ], 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.

Picked by some publications as a favorite to win the Cup<ref>{{Citation|newspaper=The Hockey News|date=October 2, 2006}}</ref>, the Ducks started the ] on fire. On November 9, 2006, the Ducks defeated the ] 6–0 at ] in ], ] to improve their season record to 12–0–4. The win set an ] open era record by remaining undefeated in regulation for the first 16 games of the season, eclipsing the previous mark set by the ] Edmonton Oilers. They were subsequently shut out by the Flames the following game, 3–0, ending their streak. On December 12, the Ducks defeated the ] 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 and 54 points. No team having played 33 games had reached 54 points since the 1979 Philadelphia Flyers. The next night, the Ducks beat the ] 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 ] had 25 points (10–0–5).

On January 16, 2007 the Ducks played in their franchise's 1000th regular season game , and on March 11, the Ducks recorded their franchise's 1000th point with a 4–2 win over the ], which improved their franchise all-time record to 423–444–155, 1001 points . On April 7, the Ducks won their first Pacific Division title in franchise history, when the Vancouver Canucks defeated the second-place ] at ] in the Sharks' final game of the season. Anaheim also played their last game of the ] that day against the ]. Anaheim won the game 4–3, finishing off the season with a total of 110 points—the first 100-point season in franchise history. This was good enough for the fourth-best record in the league (behind ], Detroit and ]). Although they had three fewer wins than the Predators, the Ducks were seeded second in the Western Conference playoffs by virtue of their division title.

In the Western Conference quarter finals, the Ducks once again met the ] and defeated them 4 games to 1. Next up was the ], the Northwest Division champions, whom they also defeated 4 games to 1. They faced the Red Wings in the Western Conference Finals, winning 4 games to 2. A 4–3 win on May 22 at ] gave the Ducks their second Western Conference title, and placed them in the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time. This time, they faced off against the ], and on June 6, the Ducks defeated the Senators 6–2 at Honda Center to claim their first ] in franchise history. The Ducks became the first California team, and the first west coast team since the 1925 ] to win the ], the only national championship trophy that had eluded the ] area.

The playoffs came with much controversy, though. The Ducks had players suspended in three of the four rounds, starting with ]'s suspension for three games in the series against the ] when he punched the Wild's ]. ] was suspended for one game twice; once against the ] for checking ] high, and then once more for elbowing ] of the ] in the ].

] with a jersey]]
After winning the Stanley Cup, two star players, defenceman ] and right winger ] stated that they were unsure whether or not the would return to the team for the 07/08 season as they both felt the need to contemplate retirement. Neidermayer returned in December 07. As a result of this indecision Burke was active in the Free Agent market signing two veteran players in high scoring defenceman ] and gritty forward ] to 2 year contracts to replace Niedermayer and Selanne if they were to retire. Later on, Oilers GM ] signed Dustin Penner to an offer sheet that would pay him 4.25 million a year over the next five. Burke called out Lowe, saying 'it was a classless move made by a desperate GM trying to save his job.'{{Fact|date=September 2007}} He did not match the offer. In return, the Ducks received the Oiler's 1st, 2nd and 3rd round draft picks. Later that summer he signed backup defenceman ] to a one year contract along with re-signing the gritty team leader ].

====2007–08 season: Defending the Cup====
The Ducks began their Cup defense against the Kings for a two game set in London, England, without ] and ], who were pondering over decision to continue playing hockey at the time, and injured ] and ], splitting the series. On October 10, against the ], the Ducks raised their Pacific Division, Western Conference and Stanley Cup Champion banners. It was a rough start overall for the Ducks as they made minor trades to try and tread water. The Ducks let backup goalie ] go on waivers, where he was picked up by the ].

The drama surrounding Niedermayer finally brought positive news for the Ducks, as GM Brian Burke declared he would return on December 5th. December 14, 2007, marked an important event in Ducks history, as Brian Burke dealt center ] to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for ], ], and the Blues 7th round draft pick in order to clear salary cap issues. On December 16, 2007 Niedermayer made his return to Anaheim, playing his first game back with the team. The team immediately improved and got back into the playoff and Pacific Division pictures. For the All-Star game, ] and ] were selected to participate. Later ] and ] were listed as injury replacements. It was a club record for players in an All-Star game.

The Ducks would receive more good news on January 28, 2008, as ] signed a one year contract with the Ducks and would finish out the 2007–08 season with them. The Ducks would win nine out of their first ten games with Selanne in the line-up. At the trade deadline the Ducks acquired defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron from the New York Islanders and J.S. Aubin from the Kings. With nine games to go in the regular season Chris Pronger would be suspended for eight of them for stomping on the leg of Ryan Kesler of the Vancouver Canucks. The Ducks finished fourth in the Western Conference and began their defense of the Cup against division rival Dallas. On April 20, 2008, the ] won Game 6 of the series 4–1, thus ending the Ducks' chance of a repeat Cup.

==== 2008-2009 Season ====

With the Ducks having a longer offseason than of the recent two seasons, they often found themselves in the middle of media headlines.

Off the ice, the feud between Brian Burke and former Edmonton Oilers GM ] heated, as once again words were thrown between both in the media. League commissioner ] ordered the feud "cease and desist". Owner ] was imprisoned for lying to a ] judge about a fraudulent business operation. Bettman gave interim ownership of the team to Anaheim Ducks CEO Michael Schulman, as the Samuelis were banned from any contact with the Ducks whatsoever.

The Ducks placed veteran forward ] on waivers, where he was eventually not claimed and became a free agent. He eventually was signed by the Calgary Flames on July 7th, 2008. As the Ducks were looking to fill a void left on the second-line center position, they signed Vancouver Canucks center ] to a one-year deal. More good news would abound as Scott Niedermayer announced he would return for another season. The Ducks also signed ] to a six-year deal. Despite all the offseason moves however, the Ducks were still in a logjam cap-wise, and in turn dealt defenseman ] to the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for ], ], and minor-leaguer Chad Painchaud. Moving Schneider to Atlanta freed up enough cap room to sign fan favorite Teemu Selanne, who was previously signed to a pro tryout contract in the preseason to ensure no team would send a counter offer his way. Veteran defenseman ] was dealt a few days into the preseason, in what GM Brian Burke called a cap-related move. Sean was dealt to the rival Los Angeles Kings for a conditional 3rd-round pick. Rumors later surfaced that the O'Donnell trade was meant to send a message after a rocky start to the preseason, and the move was seen as very controversial by Ducks fans.

After a long offseason and an impressive preseason, the Ducks opened the regular season in San Jose, taking on the Sharks in what would end up a 4-1 loss for the Ducks. Days later the Ducks held their home opener on October 12, 2008, as they hosted a young and refreshed Phoenix Coyotes team. The Ducks dropped the game 4-2 in front of a sold-out home crowd.

==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 ] 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 one of three NHL teams to feature their team name spelled out in a scripted form on the front of their jersey rather than a logo. The ] and the ] are the other two. 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, aubergine (eggplant), 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 2006====
]
About a year after the team was purchased from the Walt Disney Company by the Samuelis, ] initiated a name change dropping the "Mighty", after consultation with the fans showed that the typical fan had a willingness to update the "Mighty Ducks" name and jersey and also a desire to keep part of the traditions of the franchise. Burke sought inspiration for the jersey from the ]{{Fact|date=June 2007}}, ending up with diagonal gold, white, black and orange stripes down the arms and waist with the word "Ducks" on the front. The jersey is similar to the team's most recent third jersey prior to the name change. The orange pays tribute to ]<ref name=orangecolor>Anaheim Ducks. ''Anaheim Ducks 2006–2007 Media Guide''. Anaheim, California: Ben Franklin Press, 2006. Page 41.</ref>, where Anaheim is located.

The Ducks are not the first team from Southern California to win a title in the same year as a major uniform change. The ] won the ] the same year that they changed to their current red-and-white uniforms.
]

====2007–08 jerseys====

For the 2007–08 NHL season, the Ducks, like all NHL teams, changed over to new Rbk Edge jerseys. The new team jersey shows only minor modifications from 2006–07, including a small NHL crest just below the neck. There are no third jerseys for this season.

====Third jerseys====

The ]s of the Mighty Ducks were created in 1995, 1997, and 2003. The 1995 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 1997 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 ], when they stopped playing with their third jerseys, and used only the fourth. At the end of ], the fourth was also retired.

The 2003 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; however, this popular jersey influenced the design of the new jerseys for 2006-07. It was the only time in the modern NHL days when a mainly black jersey was not worn with black pants, they were purple.

===Mascot===

The official mascot for the Anaheim Ducks is an ] 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, 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.<ref>http://www.anaheimducks.com/fanzone/wing.php</ref> In one such descent the rigging that lowered Wild Wing from the rafters malfunctioned leaving the mascot trapped fifty feet above the ice for several minutes. Another well known blunder occurred in October 1995 when Wild Wing, attempting to jump through a "wall of fire", accidentally tripped causing the mascot to land on the fire and set his costume ablaze.<ref></ref>

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.<ref></ref>

The mascot's name was also used for the leader of the Ducks, ], in ]'s ] cartoon series.

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.{{Fact|date=September 2007}}
