The National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Twenty All-Star Games have been held since the Ducks entered the league in 1993, with at least one player chosen to represent the Ducks in each year except 2004. The All-Star game has not been held in various years: 1995, 2005, and 2013 as a result of labor stoppages, 2006, 2010, and 2014 because of the Winter Olympic Games, and 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[20]
The Lester Patrick Trophy has been presented by the National Hockey League and USA Hockey since 1966 to honor a recipient's contribution to ice hockey in the United States.[57] This list includes all personnel who have ever been employed by the Anaheim Ducks in any capacity and have also received the Lester Patrick Trophy.
Members of the Anaheim Ducks honored with the Lester Patrick Trophy
The Anaheim Ducks have retired three of their jersey numbers. Also out of circulation is the number 99 which was retired league-wide for Wayne Gretzky on February 6, 2000.[61] Gretzky did not play for the Ducks during his 20-year NHL career and no Ducks player had ever worn the number 99 prior to its retirement.[62][63]
^Ozolinsh was chosen as a member of the Florida Panthers but was traded to Anaheim two nights before the game. The public address announcement was: "From your Florida Panthers but now playing for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, #8 Sandis Ozolinsh!!".
