Stadium: Honda Center
Honda Center, previously known as the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim and sometimes colloquially called the Honda Ponda, is an indoor arena in Anaheim, California. The arena is home to the NHL's Anaheim Ducks and was home of the former NLL's Anaheim Storm, which folded in 2005. Originally named the Anaheim Arena, it was completed in 1993 at a cost of $123 million. Arrowhead Water paid $15 million for the naming rights over 10 years in October 1993. Honda later acquired the naming rights to the arena for $120 million over 10 years which changed its name in October 2006.

Team History:
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. The team was the first tenant of Arrowhead Pond (now Honda Center), 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.
With their first-ever draft pick, the Mighty Ducks selected Paul Kariya fourth overall in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. Kariya would quickly become a fan favorite and the cornerstone of the young Mighty Ducks franchise. As team captain, he would bring them within a game of Stanley Cup glory in 2003.
Season Preview:
Perhaps no team has seen its expectations grow so dramatically from last season. That's what happens when you go to the Western Conference finals and then add the best defenseman in the game as Anaheim did in bringing in Chris Pronger shortly after the end of the season. Pronger and Scott Niedermayer give the Ducks the most dynamic 1-2 blue-line combination in the league. With solid goaltending and a nice blend of talented veterans and promising young forwards who already have a sense of what it takes to win, the Ducks look to be an imposing force for years to come. Now, the question is whether they can make the short but incredibly difficult jump from close to champion.
