As we continue to celebrate the Anaheim Ducks 25th Anniversary season we present a new three-part series. The all-decade teams. In our first installment, we’ll take a look at the original Mighty Ducks. The first group to wear the purple, jade and WildWing mask on their sweaters. This is the All-Decade team from the 1990s.
Goalie- Guy Hebert
The Mighty Ducks first goaltender was the obvious choice here. Guy Hebert patrolled the Duck goal crease from the Ducks start until 2001. Hebert has a career record of 173-202-52. While this isn’t a spectacular record, it does have him sitting second all-time in wins, games played (441) and shutouts (27). He is also 6th in GAA and SV% among Duck starters all-time.
Hebert was the Ducks number one when they were finding their legs in this league and he did very well with what the Ducks had. The Ducks didn’t have the luxury that say the Golden Knights did last season. The talent in the 1993 draft was not on par with the latest expansion draft yet Hebert still has quality numbers. He also was the goalie responsible for getting the Ducks to their first post-season and first series win over the Pheonix Coyotes.
Hebert laid the ground-work for goaltending in Anaheim. The Ducks have had some amazing goaltenders sport the Ducks emblem and it all started with #31. He like the Anaheim Ducks got better with time and always took positive steps year after year. He started it all and it has culminated in one Cup so far with hopefully many more on the way.
