Voices - City of Anaheim

Do you have any plans to change
the team’s name, logo or colors?
Henry: That’s been a topic of discussion. For this coming
season there will be no change at all. You need substantial lead
time to do any sort of a change so certainly the Mighty Ducks
of Anaheim will be the name. Team colors will also remain
the same for this year. But we have decided that the best way
to make that determination (for the future) is to let the fans
have input. We want to open it up and hear the fans’ opinions.
This team belongs to the fans and we want to honor
what they want.
Will Anaheim remain in the name?
Henry: I can assure you 100 percent that the Mighty
Ducks—or whatever we end up calling the team—will be
Anaheim. The team is in Anaheim. It belongs to Anaheim.
There is absolutely no discussion whatsoever on changing the
City affiliation of this team. It doesn’t make sense to us. We
live here. It’s our home. There was zero consideration given
to that.
Community relations is so
important to both of you.
How will you incorporate
the Mighty Ducks into
your outreach efforts?
Susan: This is one of the reasons I am so excited about
purchasing the Mighty Ducks. We think they can become an
even bigger part of the community. One of the things we are
hoping to do is get the Ducks out there to the ice rinks and
see what we can do about getting more young hockey players
involved. We also are looking at tying in (the team) with some
of the things I am personally interested in, like foster care
and many of the other charities and organizations that Henry
and I support.
What kind of feedback
have you gotten from the
City of Anaheim regarding
your purchase of the team?
Henry: The City has been extremely supportive of this
whole process of purchasing the team. They recognize the fact
that having a common owner between the arena and the team
is good for the City because it eliminates a lot of problems
that potentially occur. It also opens up the potential opportunity
of attracting yet another sports team—an NBA team—
to the City. So they were very, very supportive. ❚

The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim Reduce Season Ticket Prices
In an effort to ensure NHL
hockey remains accessible
to fans throughout Southern
California, the Mighty
Ducks of Anaheim have
rolled back season ticket
prices by as much as 62%
for the 2005-2006 season.
The club has reduced prices an average of 5.28 percent on more than 14,000 season seats
at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim. Those prices will remain the same for the 2006-2007
hockey season. It has also reclassified more than 1,500 seats at the Arrowhead Pond of
Anaheim, dropping the season seat price 62 percent from $25 to $9.50.
In addition, the Ducks will also offer a buy-two, get-two free ticket promotion on select
sections of the Terrace Main, enabling fans to purchase four seats for $47. And as a thank
you to season seat holders, the Ducks will also offer complimentary food, beverage (nonalcoholic),
and parking for the first three regular season home games.
“
We felt this was the right thing to do. It’s what the fans want, expect and deserve.
We also have plans for a number of other exciting announcements for
our loyal fans.” Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Ryan
