When you think of the birth of the Anaheim Ducks franchise, the name Paul Kariya normally comes to mind. He was, of course, the first draft pick in what is now their 25-year history, and over the course of his 9 season career with the Mighty Ducks, he established a name for himself throughout the NHL and Southern California. However, in actuality, Guy Hebert will always hold the title as the “first Duck.”
Prior to his 8 season tenure in the Anaheim Ducks net, Hebert played two seasons with the St. Louis Blues.
