The Real Mighty Ducks
Like many kids from of my generation, I was first introduced to hockey via the movie ‘The Mighty Ducks.’ While it is by no means a cinematic masterpiece, for a young kid, being on Gordon Bombay’s peewee hockey team is a fantasy. Looking back on the film, it is hard to comprehend the impact that it has had on the landscape of hockey.
Sure, the movie spawned a legion of young hockey fans, but it left its mark indelibly by spurring the creation of the Anaheim Ducks hockey team. The Disney Corporation used the series of films at a catalyst for introducing and marketing their Anaheim Ducks hockey team, driving sales of Ducks hockey jerseys and other memorabilia.
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.
