Anaheim Ducks

The Anaheim Ducks are a professional ice hockey team based in Anaheim, California. The 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 official mascot of the Anaheim Ducks is an anthropomorphized duck named Wild Wing. He has been the team's mascot since the first season, and his name was chosen by fan voting. He wears a Ducks jersey with the number 93 on the back, referring to the year the Ducks became an NHL team.

The team's colors were purple and jade until the change of ownership in 2006. At that moment they turned orange, black and gold, with white instead of black for the away jersey. The only exception is the alternative T-shirt, which is mostly orange. Orange, which has become one of the team's primary colors, refers to Orange County, where Anaheim is located.
