Top 50 Anaheim Ducks

Named after the Mighty Ducks, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim first took flight in 1993 as an Expansion Team in the same year as the Florida Panthers.  The Ducks landed their first major star in Paul Kariya in 1996, and they would trade for another in Teemu Selanne.  

In 2003, they surprisingly won the Western Conference, but lost to the New Jersey Devils.  The team was sold by their original company, Disney, and in 2006, they were renamed the Anaheim Ducks.  The newly named team went on to win its first Stanley Cup by defeating the Ottawa Senators in 2007.  They have yet to reach the Finals since.

This list is up to the end of the 2024/25 season.

Note: Hockey lists are based on an amalgamation of tenure, traditional statistics, advanced statistics, playoff statistics and post-season accolades.
