1993–94 Mighty Ducks of Anaheim season
The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim were founded in 1993 by The Walt Disney Company. The team's original name was chosen from the Disney movie The Mighty Ducks, based on a group of misfit kids who turn their losing youth hockey team into a winning team. Disney subsequently made an animated series called Mighty Ducks, featuring a fictional Mighty Ducks of Anaheim team that consisted of anthropomorphized ducks led by the Mighty Duck Wildwing. The team was the first tenant of Arrowhead Pond, a brand-new arena in Anaheim located a short distance east of Disneyland and across the Orange Freeway from Angel Stadium. The arena was completed the same year the team was founded.

The Mighty Ducks hired Jack Ferreira as their first General Manager. Pierre Gauthier became his assistant. Gauthier had been a former goalie for Boston University and had considerable scouting experience with the New England Whalers, Calgary Flames and New York Rangers.[1]
While the Mighty Ducks did not qualify for the playoffs in their inaugural season, they were nevertheless reasonably competitive by the standards of the era for a first-year team. Notably, they still managed to finish ahead of their local rivals (and defending conference champions), the Los Angeles Kings.
Offseason
Forward Troy Loney was named the franchise's first team captain.
Regular season
On October 8, the Mighty Ducks took the ice against the Detroit Red Wings. It was the first regular season game for the Mighty Ducks in franchise history and the first regular season game played at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim. The Ducks finished their inaugural season with 71 points (33–46–5), and set a record, along with the Florida Panthers, for the most wins for an expansion team.[1]
The Mighty Ducks finished last in power-play goals for (54), power-play percentage (14.36%) and most times shut out (9).[2][3]
