June 6th 2007:9 Years Later

9 years seems like Forever....many of us who watch it be it Live,On TV or was able to record the game and know the moment when the Buzzer sound and Ducks were Stanley Cup Champions. Knowing that all those years of NHL Fans of other teams,Canadian Hockey fans and Purists alike doubted us,Mocked our Name and our Colors. Not mention where Team was founded they were associated with Disney and with SoCal never understand or appreciate how far the team has come. 14 years of Blood,sweat,Tears and Dedication in overcoming the odds is something to behold and admire. That Night as I call it "Day of Great Victory". That Night Everything Change,Anaheim Ducks,Ducks Fans and all involve alike change for the Better. We were no Longer the "Joke" as many called us. We were taken seriously and Ducks Fans were inspired,Motivated and Happy that years of Perseverance result in our Name Living forever. From Teemu Selanne and JS Giguere to then Young Guns Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry all the way to Chris Pronger and Niedermayer Brothers...My Passion for the team was strengthen let alone increase tenfold. If one thing I can say it was inspiring to see Scott Niedermayer Raise the Stanley Cup high at the Honda Centre. No Words....just pure Joy. Ducks Fans came of age that moment as our Team did. With a Stanley Cup came expectations and dreams of Players who may fit into the Ducks System of Hockey.


Passion I see each years since I came to see my FIRST NHL Game and Anaheim Ducks Live I can tell you honestly Anaheim Ducks and Hockey in General has became a Important part of Orange County and SoCal's Culture. You can say Ducks Stanley Cup Win grew the sport. Becoming 1st California Based team to Win Hockey's Most cherish Prize made everyone in Hockey World be it Canada,USA,Finland,Sweden right down to Tradition Hockey markets in Montreal,Toronto and in my hometown of Cole Harbour Nova Scotia. Hockey is for everyone including those who love and Follow the Ducks as I do. 2007: Year of the Duck always hold a special place in my Home Work...Ducks Winning the Stanley Cup,Getting all if not most of Players autographs and made life long Friends. I never take for granted and appreicate those Ducks Fans who I consider my friends and kept in Touch to today.
