The fact that the team is owned by Disney is mentioned in the article and in the categorization, therefore the see also section is not needed. Gentgeen 05:22, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I have just completed the List of Anaheim Mighty Ducks players. It is 100% accurate as of the end of the 2003-04 NHL season. When new players play for the Ducks, it would be a great help if they could be added to the list to keep it accurate. Thanks! Masterhatch
Somebody might want to rewrite the jersey section. It was very poorly written and hard to follow.
Hey guys, the roster needs updating, and I would, but I'm crap at it, somebody help the team out and get it done, you can use this

Are there any Duck fans who want to expand the List of Anaheim Ducks players? -- Sparkhurst 23:31, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Leave to the Walt Disney company (former owners of M.Ducks),to name the franchise Mighty Ducks of Anaheim & not Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Imagine if you will Penguins of Pittsburgh or Blues of St.Louis or Canadiens of Montreal (Oops!!) the Canadiens are called that (At least in French) Les Canadiens de Montreal.
Ironic isn't it?, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim are going to change their name. Beginning with the 2006-07 season, they'll be the Anaheim Ducks; do you suppose Bryan Murray read this page section (Talk: Mighty Ducks of Anaheim)? GoodDay 17:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Never change names, its stupid, but they should hav gotten rid of the mighty. Despite being a traditionalist, I think that the mighty needed to go because i dont like this sport so great to be thought of as affiliated to a kids movie.
Since the Buffalo Sabres & Los Angeles Kings articles, have included Mogilny & Robitaille (respectively) in their Captains Lists (backed by Sabres & Kings web sites & media guides), I've looked up the Mighty Ducks web site. Teemu Selanne is listed as a Ducks Captain (during 1997-98 season, whil Kariya was injured/out of the Line-up). I'll make the proper edits to this article & the Karyia & Selanne articles. GoodDay 17:55, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this should even be on here because it's such a debatable topic. I remember this was discussed for the Leafs earlier, and it was decided that they won't have a rivalries list because of the arbitrariness of it all. An example of its arbitrariness: I entered the Flames as a rival of the Ducks because, as a Ducks fan, I remember that the games between these two teams are often marked by huge fights and scrums. But it was replaced by the Detroit Red Wings today, for which the rivalry is minimal at best (unless it's the year after the Ducks face them in the playoffs or something). Sure, they can be considered a rival, but really...? Just my two cents. -- Buchanan-Hermit 19:54, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
I don't think the Red Wings are a rival. I have removed them-- AWBricker 22:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Unless we can get a consistent rivalry such as UCLA/USC or Dodgers Giants, then lets not put down anybody. The Ducks rivals at thsi point cud be the leaves, flames, wild, red wings, sharks or kings at this point, but unless one or two teams are consistently in tough matchups with the ducks deep in the playoffs, then lets just delete this section for now.
Actually, as a Ducks fan, let me tell you, we hate the Sharks. I don't know a Ducks fan that doesn't. Especially after some of the trades. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.36.124.181 ( talk) 15:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Yea they are... isnt it to Anaheim Ducks? We should make this page a redirect to Anaheim Ducks, or whatever the new name is, when its final paat 00:26, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Haha...they're not so mighty anymore. CKSCIII 00:43, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
== Teemu Selanne ==
Watched Flames vs Ducks (April 17), and noticed that Selanne didn't have an 'A' on his jersey. Is he no longer an alternate captain?
GoodDay 15:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
sorry guys, the list of players is inaccurate... Patrick Kjellberg needs to be added to that list.
Took care of the delete of the old redirect and moved Mighty Ducks of Anaheim there. RasputinAXP c 11:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

This section has been revamped, in accordance with the consensus reached at Wikipedia: WikiProject Ice Hockey/Team pages format. Though not all Team pages have been revamped 'yet', in time they will be. Reverting back to the old style, only stalls the 'revamping' process. Please be patient. GoodDay 20:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
This article (lately) is being continously vandalised by either numerous anon-editors Or the same anon editor using different identities (the disruptive edits are generally the same). Perhaps 'semi-protection' is required (either that, or blocks). GoodDay 17:11, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Someone claimed without any evidence that the new colors are supposed to be a tribute to the Marine Corps. I found this highly doubtful and have taken it out. If someone has any evidence to the contrary, it would be appreciated.
(Note: comment above was unsigned.) I thought I read somewhere that it was actually supposed to be a tribute to the U.S. Army, I'll see if I can find that article. Jadefalcon 23:50, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh, nevermind. I didn't read it, it was a comment made by (I think) Mike Emrick during a Vs. broadcast of a Ducks/Red Wings game. Jadefalcon 23:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
is gonna be a great series.
just what hockey needs imho...
He is only the fifth goaltender in NHL history to have won the trophy while playing for the team that lost. Giggy was the fifth player second goaltender to with Conn Smyth on a losing team (Ron Hextall was other)

Oh, 6-2 as I speak.

Back when both teams were cup contenders and one even won LW8790 ( talk) 13:40, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Again, saying "one Stanley Cup" would constitute confusion over whether or not they are the current champion. "Reigning Stanley Cup Champions" should be used
TheWikiVigilante 12:09, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I think the language of the top should be changed. They should be known as the "reigning Stanley Cup Champions", seeing as though confusion would reign if they said that they "won" it instead of making light of the fact that they are the current champion. yours, your friendly neighborhood Wikilante
TheWikiVigilante 16:52, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
That is not until April 2008, and you may have some people who will be confused... and people are already going to edit this thing anyway. I say just go with the "reigning" part and let nature take its course.
TheWikiVigilante 15:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
The info in that paragraph belongs in the 'history' section. Just because the Ducks 'recently' won the Stanley Cup, there's no reason to overload the opening paragraphs to the article. GoodDay 16:22, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm no Ducks fan, so I couldn't make it fully cohesive, and it still suffers from a bit of recentism (as do most sports team articles, really), but I hope I was able to fix up the History section a little bit by adding subsections and tightening up some of the paragraphs. Some more details of this season will eventually have to be pared, but I left 'em for now. -- Doogie2K (talk) 22:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Please, do not put diacritics for the players' names on this article. It makes it difficult for those using English keyboards (this is the English section of Wikipedia, after all) to use the search function. If I wanted to search for Teeme Selanne, I would not be able to find it if the article had his name with diacritics. Don't get me wrong, I know it is the technically correct spelling, but that belongs on the player's own article, not here. Arcimpulse 04:17, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't really think this section is detailed enough, at least not for winning the championship of a professional sports league. Look at the Carolina Hurricanes cup-winning post-season, and how their biggest games are well explained and passion is put into the article. Another thing I do not like is that the paragraph after this section is a derogatory one that is biased imo. Yes, the Ducks played aggressive hockey this past post-season, but I do not think that it merits a section that demeans their accomplishments. It was not really all that controversial either. I think this section should be removed. The Pronger suspensions are fairly important, so they can be added into the Cup-winning section, like what series they happened in etc. Love each other, or perish. ~Auden 05:13, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Until he's re-signed, he doesn't belong on the 'current roster'. He's been an UFA since July 1, 2007. GoodDay 00:22, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Is the DAB at the top necessary? You're not going to search for "Anaheim Ducks" while looking for the movie. The whole point of a DAB is so that when you land on a page via the search you can find all appropriate articles you may have been looking for. The DAB is only necessary on the page for The Mighty Ducks, not this page, not Mighty Ducks (TV series), and not The Mighty Ducks films. Mac OS X 19:22, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

The history content is written like a press release and I would like to change that. It is lengthy to the extent that the history page should have it's own page e.g. Montreal Canadiens.

Looking around I found this on Henry Samueli
On June 23, 2008, Samueli pleaded guilty for lying to SEC for $2.2 billion of backdating. Under the plea bargain, Samueli agreed to a sentence of five years probation, a $250,000 criminal fine, and a $12 million payment to the US Treasury. His sentencing is scheduled for August 18.[6] [7] He was suspended indefinitely as the Anaheim Ducks' team owner by the National Hockey League.
Anyone have more info and should this be mentioned on this page.-- Mrebus ( talk) 22:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
In this article it mentions that the Ducks were the first California team and first west coast team to win since the 1925 Vancouver team. Does this mean no one remembers or counts the 1993 win by the Los Angeles Kings. Just sayin'. 130.15.193.213 ( talk) 18:06, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Unknown to many the intersecting sticks and triangular background are actually a modified upside down version of the greek letters delta and upsilon placed over one another. This symbol is the same design worn by the members of Delta Upsilon which is the greek organization that Michael Eisner (the chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Company from 1984 until 2005) belonged to. Delta Upsilons unofficial mascot was the ducks and thus the components and ideas of the Ducks old logo can be traced back to Eisners time in college
This post keeps being removed via speedy deletion however all components are valid and hold weight and should be posted in the logo section on the main page.At the time of the ducks creation the chief executive officer of the Walt Disney company was Michael Eisner. Michael Eisner who is an alumni of Delta Upsilon Fraternity, served as the CEO of the Walt Disney Company from 1984 to 2005. In 1992 Disney released the Mighty Ducks movie, and in 1993 founded an NHL team of the same name and logo. The unofficial mascot of Delta Upsilon fraternity is the Duck, so when Eisner and the Dinsey company needed ideas for a new children's film and hockey team mascot/logo he looked back to his roots as a Delta Upsilon for the idea. It can be clearly seen the logos background is an upside version of the the Organizations membership badge and its forefront is undeniably a duck.
http://www.deltau.org/nosecrets/insignia The following link is delta upsilons international website and shows the membship badge.
http://corporate.disney.go.com/corporate/bios/michael_d_eisner.html The following link is directly from Disney prooving Eisners lead in the cooporation.
Infact wikipedias page on Michael Eisner mentions his membership to Delta Upsilon and his commitment to the Disney company — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amercer6 ( talk • contribs) 05:35, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

The Ducks released a third jersey about a few months ago. It probably will have to be added as an "ALT" jersey.

ducks are better than the kings
The logo might have a lot of gold, but the Ducks have been using orange as its primary color for a few years now, including on their jerseys, website, merchandise, etc. Shouldn't the infoboxes on this article also do the same?
