The Anaheim Ducks were founded as an expansion franchise in 1993 by The Walt Disney Company and originally named the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim with the name taking inspiration from the 1992 Walt Disney movie The Mighty Ducks.

Following the name and ownership change, the team found quick success with a trip to the Western Conference Final in 2006 and a Stanley Cup championship in 2007, which remains the franchise’s only championship.

LA Kings Game Notes: Portillo, Laferriere Shine In 2-1 Win Over Anaheim
|

If there is one thing that’s clear about the Los Angeles Kings, it’s that they love playing their in-state rival Anaheim Ducks.
