The Anaheim Ducks are an professional ice hockey team based in Anaheim, California. They play in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL).[1] The franchise was founded in 1993 by The Walt Disney Company as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, based on the film The Mighty Ducks. They were then renamed the Anaheim Ducks before the 2006–07 season, in which the Ducks won their first Stanley Cup championship.[2][3] The Ducks have played their home games at the Honda Center, formerly known as the Anaheim Arena (1993) and the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim (1993–2006), since their inaugural season.[4] The team is owned by Henry Samueli and his wife Susan, Pat Verbeek is the general manager,[5] and Radko Gudas is the team captain.[6]

There have been 12 head coaches in franchise history. The Mighty Ducks' first head coach was Ron Wilson, who coached for four seasons. Randy Carlyle is the franchise's all-time leader in regular season for most games coached, wins, points, and also in playoff games coached and wins. Carlyle is the only head coach to have won the Stanley Cup. Carlyle was relieved of his coaching duties in on November 30, 2011, and the franchise immediately hired former Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau. Boudreau was released after the 2015–16 season. The franchise rehired Carlyle prior to the 2016–17 season, for his second stint with the organization. After struggling to win games in the 2018–19 season, Carlyle was relieved on February 10, 2019. Franchise's general manager, Bob Murray, replaced Carlyle as interim coach to finish the 2018–19 season. After the conclusion of the season, Dallas Eakins was hired on June 17, 2019, and served as head coach until April 14, 2023, when his contract was not renewed. Greg Cronin was hired on June 5, 2023, to replace Eakins,[7] served two seasons as head coach, before he was fired on April 19, 2025.[8]

Notes

  1. ↑ A running total of the number of coaches of the (Mighty) Ducks. Thus, any coach who has two or more separate terms as head coach is only counted once.
  2. ↑ Before the 2005–06 season, the NHL instituted a penalty shootout for regular season games that remained tied after a five-minute overtime period, which prevented ties.[10]
