2018 is the 25th anniversary of the Anaheim Ducks first NHL season. We kick off our look at 25 years of excellence by counting down the best Anaheim Ducks player to wear each jersey number.

It’s hard to believe that the Anaheim Ducks have been in business for 25 years. Since their inception in 1993, the team had its struggles, but Anaheim has also been to the top of the NHL mountain.
