Will There Be Any Ducks At The Olympics?
Although Anaheim has had a disappointing season so far with a record of 12-13-7 with 31 points more than one third of their roster could be selected to trade their Anaheim Jerseys for Olympic Jerseys.
It looks as though Scott Niedermayer will be considered for captain of the Canadian team. Corey Perry is likely to clinch a spot on the team also. Evgeny Artyukhin would be suiting up for the Russian team. Other members of the Ducks to go back to overseas roots will be Jonas Hiller for Switzerland, and Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu will play for Finland. For team USA, possiblities include Bobby Ryan and Ryan Whitney.
Only time will tell which of the Anaheim Ducks will actually be suiting up for the 2010 winter games in Vancouver in February. Good luck to all the Mighty Ducks who are choosen to represent their countries in these pretigeous games.
The Real Mighty Ducks
Like most kids who grew up in the 90’s, I was introduced to the game of hockey through the movie “The Mighty Ducks”. When I first saw Emilio Estevez lead that group of ragamuffins to hockey greatness, I became an immediate fan of the game. My neighbors and I bought a full supply of hockey gear and began to play on a daily basis.
As can be imagined, I was ecstatic when I learned that Disney would be introducing the Ducks as an expansion team to the NHL. Being from Southern California, I immediately developed an affinity for the squad. For Christmas that year the only thing on my list was a couple of Anaheim Duck NHL jerseys.
