Anaheim Ducks Background
The Anaheim Ducks are a professional ice hockey team based in Anaheim, California.
They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey
League (NHL). Since their inception, the Ducks have played their home games
at Honda
Center.
The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim were founded in 1993 by The Walt Disney Company. The teams 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 led by the Mighty Duck Wildwing.
The team was the first tenant of the Anaheim Arena (later named the Arrowhead Pond and now the Honda
Center), a brand-new arena in Anaheim located a short distance east of Disneyland and across the Orange Freeway from Angel Stadium. The arena was completed the same year the team was founded, with the naming rights originally being held by Arrowhead Water.
The Ducks selected Paul Kariya fourth overall in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. He was the star of the franchise for many years afterwards. The team selected Steve Rucchin, who the team drafted second overall in the 1994 Supplemental Draft. After their first two years the Ducks had never made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In the middle of the third year the Ducks had acquired a right winger that would complement their left winger Paul Kariya.
On February 7, 1996, the team made a blockbuster deal with 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 right winger Teemu Selanne. These three players became one of most potent lines of their time, adding to their success and possibly reaching the playoffs. The Ducks reached the postseason for the first time during the 1996-97 NHL season, where they won their first playoff round in franchise history against the Phoenix Coyotes. However, in the second round they lost to the Detroit Red Wings in a four game sweep. The Ducks missed the playoffs in 1998 but followed it up by finishing 6th in the Western Conference in 1998-99 NHL season but again were swept by the Detroit Red Wings, this time in round one.
The Ducks did not reach the postseason again until 2002-2003 NHL season. They started a Cinderella run to the Stanley Cup Finals by defeating the defending champion Red Wings in a sweep, the Dallas Stars in six games, and the Minnesota Wild in a sweep where Jean-Sebastien Giguere only allowed one goal. Anaheim could not complete their Cinderella run, though, as they lost a hard-fought game 7 to the Devils 3-0. The series was also noted because every game was won by the home team. For his fine play during the post-season, Giguere won the Conn Smythe Trophy as Most Valuable Player 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. Giguere had 15-6 record, 7-0 in overtime, with a 1.62 GAA, a .945 Sv. Pct. and a record 168 minute, 27 second shutout streak in overtime.
