The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim played their first regular season game October 8th, 1993. Arrowhead Pond was electric as the eggplant and jade jerseys adorned with the iconic Wild Wing logo. They took the ice to face off against the iconic winged wheel of the Detroit Red Wings. While the outcome of the game wasn’t exactly pretty, it still stands as one of the most important moments in Anaheim Ducks history.
Here we are, 25 years, 6 general managers, 8 captains, 8 head coaches, and a Stanley Cup victory later and the Anaheim Ducks have become one of the more consistent and competitive teams in the entirety of the league.
