Max Comtois’ Debut Puts Him (Mostly) in Elite Company
October 6th, 2018 Max Comtois didn’t wait long to wow Anaheim Ducks fans in his NHL debut. Just under a minute into his first game, 49 seconds to be exact, the second-round draft pick from Longueuil, Quebec hopped off the bench, collected an Adam Henrique poke pass and slid the puck calmly between the pads of Sharks goaltender Martin Jones.

Ducks Prospects Making Push for Roster Spot
September 26th, 2018 Giovanni Fiore recently got sent back to the San Diego Gulls meaning he's unlikely to make the Anaheim Ducks opening night roster.

January 2nd, 2018 Things are not always what they seem. Behind any great performance, there is always a supporting cast in the backdrop. One that typically gets overlooked.

Anaheim Ducks Draft Review
June 26th, 2017 The Anaheim Ducks did not have a first-round selection in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, as that was the price they paid to acquire then-Dallas Stars winger Patrick Eaves, who the Ducks signed to a three-year extension on Friday.
