History of the Anaheim Ducks Angel Stadium – the team received its name, inspired by the 1992 Disney movie "The Mighty Ducks", based on a group of misfit kids who turn their losing youth hockey team into a winning team. Disney President Michael Eisner had already said on the December press conference that the film's success served as "our market research". As a result of the name adoption, the arena was named "The Pond", and Disney subsequently made an animated series called "Mighty Ducks", featuring a fictional Mighty Ducks of Anaheim team consisting of anthropomorphized ducks led by the Mighty Duck Wildwing.
