Teemu Selänne played in 10 NHL All-Star Games, was named to four post-season All-Star Teams and won the inaugural Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy in 1998-99 as the league's leading goal scorer. He was a member of the Ducks' 2007 Stanley Cup championship team and holds franchise single-season records with 52 goals and 109 points. Even before his playing career had ended, the Ducks announced that Selänne's #8 jersey would be the first number retired by the franchise.
Mike Babcock was named head coach of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim on May 22, 2002, and through two seasons, guided them to a combined 69-62-19 regular season record (including 14 overtime losses) and a Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 2003.
Jonas Hiller was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Ducks in May 2007. He played seven seasons in Anaheim, recording 162 wins and 21 shutouts. Jean-Sebastien Giguere was drafted in the 1st round of the NHL Entry Draft, John Gibson was drafted in the 2nd round, and Guy Hebert was drafted in the 8th round.
After being selected 2nd overall in the 1993 NHL Expansion Draft, goaltender Guy Hebert played with the Ducks organization from its inaugural season in 1993 until midway through the 2000-01 season, when he was placed on waivers and claimed by the New York Rangers. At that time he was the last of the original Ducks still with the team.
Chris Pronger was considered one of the NHL's "dirtier" players, but he was a major part of the Ducks' championship run in 2007.
From October 10, 2013 to January 21, 2014, the Anaheim Ducks were undefeated in home games. The historic 22-game streak officially ended at 20-0-2. The Ducks were just the fourth team in 40 NHL seasons to record at least a point in their first 22 home games of the season.
The turning point of Game 5 came when Ottawa Senators Chris Phillips and Ray Emery were involved in a mix-up resulting in an own goal, which was awarded to Travis Moen, giving Anaheim a 3-1 lead that they would not relinquish.
