Mighty Ducks of Anaheim - Definition and Overview |
|
|
The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim are a National Hockey League team based in Anaheim, California. They were founded in 1992, with their home arena at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim ("The Pond"). Their uniform colors are maroon and jade green, and feature a hockey mask forming a duck's beak, in front of two crossed hockey sticks.
The Mighty Ducks are owned by The Walt Disney Company. The team's name was chosen from the Disney movie The Mighty Ducks (much to the disdain of many traditionalists), about a group of misfit teens who form an amateur hockey team. Disney has subsequently also made an animated television series called Mighty Ducks, featuring a fictional Mighty Ducks of Anaheim team that consists of actual (albeit anthropomorphised) ducks.
