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.
