31- Guy Hebert (1993-2001)

Guy Hebert was essentially the beginning of the franchise. During the 1993 expansion draft, Anaheim selected him to be among the first Mighty Ducks.

In the 441 games he played as a Duck, he had a record of 173-202-52. He maintained a save percentage of .911 and made 11,813 career saves.

Hebert was responsible for many firsts in Anaheim. Although his first game in the net ended in defeat (7-2 against Detroit), He made lots of things possible for the Ducks. He was a powerhouse for the Ducks in the net and set a high bar for his successors

"“People remember the effort you put on the ice every night, and I gave it my all every night. Some nights were better than others, but you set a bar for the next guy. I played eight years, and Jiggy came in and had a great career for the Ducks, broke a lot of my records. He’s passed the baton for Jonas and he’s had the helm for the last few years. I think over 20 years, the Ducks have probably had the fewest goalies of any team in the league. Over a 16-year period, two guys played like ninety-something percent of the games for the franchise. That’s a pretty unique thing and I’m proud to be part of the Ducks goaltending history.” -Guy Hebert, Anaheim Ducks Goalie (1993-2001)"

Hebert is still part of the organization today. He serves the co-host on Ducks telecasts before, after and between periods of games.
