Anaheim Ducks network for the 1998–99 season, which would also carry Anaheim Angels baseball games, but the plan was abandoned. Anaheim Ducks The Anaheim Ducks are a professional ice hockey team based in Anaheim, California. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). Since their inception, the Ducks have played their home games at the Honda Center (formerly The Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim). The club was founded in 1993 by The Walt Disney Company as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, a name based on the 1992 film "The Mighty Ducks". Disney sold the
The Mighty Ducks and an animated TV series (the latter taking on a science fiction angle with actual anthropomorphic ducks). While neither sequel's box-office total matched that of the first movie, they were still financially successful. Critically, "The Mighty Ducks" was not well-received. It currently holds a 21% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 29 reviews, with an average rating of 3.9/10. Roger Ebert said the film was 'sweet and innocent, and that at a certain level it might appeal to younger kids. I doubt if its ambitions reach much beyond that', and gave it a 2 star rating.
