The National Hockey League\'s team from Anaheim was created by Walt Disney Co., and was originally named for the kids\' movie \"The Mighty Ducks.\" Time has seen the \"Mighty\" drop off and Disney drop out for the Anaheim Ducks, but the team has moved to the big time and is facing the Ottawa Senators for the NHL\'s holy grail, the Stanley Cup trophy.
