From Disney Magic to Stanley Cup Glory (1993-2006):

✦ Founded in 1993 by The Walt Disney Company, the team was initially named the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, inspired by the popular Disney movie of the same name.

✦ Entering a league dominated by established franchises, the Mighty Ducks quickly captured the hearts of fans with their exciting style of play and a focus on family-friendly entertainment.

✦ In 2003, defying expectations, the Mighty Ducks led by superstars Teemu Selanne and Paul Kariya, captured the Stanley Cup championship, defeating the heavily favored New Jersey Devils.

Transition to the Anaheim Ducks (2006-Present):
