Disney was likewise the proprietor of the Anaheim franchise business when the organization elected to increase at the end of 1992. The business, in an eyebrow-arching little bit of cross-promotion, called the brand-new club The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (mirroring the business’s public dedication to placing Anaheim on the map, also).
Simply relabelled the “Anaheim Ducks” for the 2006-2007 period, the club played in its 2nd Stanley Cup Finals and also won its initial champion, led by Teemu Selänne and also Scott Neidermeyer, both of whom show up in the Icon Choice Pack.
