2006 Offseason

Under new ownership, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim changed their team and arena's name, logo, and player uniforms. The change involving their name was dropping the "Mighty" from their name, and completely changing their jerseys to black, gold, orange and white colours rather than the eggplant, jade, silver and white from years past.

In a major acquisition, the club acquired defenceman Chris Pronger

 with their first-round pick, nineteenth overall.

Not only did the Ducks change their name and logos, but their home arena of 13 years saw some changes as well. On October 3, 2006, the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim was officially renamed Honda Center. The partnership was reportedly 15 years with an option to extend the naming agreement 10 years. Other changes to the arena included new displays in the rafters behind the goals and four large "Honda Center" signs on each corner of the building. During the pre-season, however, the arena was officially still the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim.

Regular season

Predicted to be a Stanley Cup finals favorite by many, the team came out of the gate to set an NHL record by getting at least a point in each of their first 16 games, a streak which ended exactly five weeks after their first game. They went 12–0–4 (28 pts.) before they lost their first regulation game of the year, a 3–0 shutout to the Calgary Flames
