It doesn’t rain much in Orange County, home of the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks. It just seemed that way for them last season.
In a year that forever cast a perpetual storm cloud over their franchise, the Ducks were one of the few teams in the NHL that were happy to see their season come to an end in early April.
And while the end of the regular season may have brought a delay to the torrential downpour of bad luck and bad news to the team, the long-range forecast for the Ducks organization still calls for the potential of grey and sullen skies ahead.
