The Anaheim Ducks are a professional ice hockey team based in Anaheim, California, USA. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The Ducks are 2006-07 Stanley Cup champions, after defeating the Ottawa Senators in 5 games in the 2007 Stanley Cup Finals. Since their inception, the Ducks have played their home games at Honda Center (formerly Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim).
The club was founded in 1993 by The Walt Disney Company as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, a name based on the film The Mighty Ducks. Disney sold the franchise in 2005 to Henry and Susan Samueli, who changed the name of the team to Anaheim Ducks prior to the 2006-07 season. In their 14 year existence, the Ducks have made the playoffs five times, winning two Western Conference Championships (2003 and 2007) and one Stanley Cup (2007).
