The NHL team also said it is evaluating possible changes to<br /> its logo and uniforms.<br /> "The process is still very much underway, and we do not expect<br /> to be ready to make any further announcements until the end of the<br /> season," owner Henry Samueli said in a statement issued by the<br /> team Friday.<br /> Samueli and his wife, Susan, purchased the team from the Walt<br /> Disney Company last year and said at that time they would consider<br /> making changes, including the team name. Input from season<br /> ticket-holders was involved in the decision.<br /> "In selecting the name the Anaheim Ducks, we are respecting the<br /> heritage of a tremendous organization that has been a very<br /> important and visible part of the community, not to mention Western<br /> Conference champions and a Stanley Cup finalist," he said.<br /> The Ducks reached the Stanley Cup finals in 2003 before losing<br /> to the <a href="https://www.espn.com/nhl/clubhouse?team=njd">New Jersey Devils</a> in seven games. Anaheim was considered a<br /> long shot in those playoffs, beginning every series on the road. It<br /> was only the third time the team qualified for the postseason.<br /> The Mighty Ducks were formed as an expansion franchise in 1993,<br /> and named by then-Disney chairman Michael Eisner after the<br /> company's movie of the same name.<br /> "The Mighty Ducks' organization very carefully considered the<br /> question of whether to change the team name, and spent many months<br /> evaluating various options," said David Paine, the CEO of PainePR,<br /> a public relations firm that coordinated the research effort for<br /> the Samuelis.<br /> "The process included both qualitative research and a formal<br /> quantitative telephone survey of Mighty Ducks season ticket<br /> holders," Paine said. "While there was support for keeping the<br /> current name, the majority of those surveyed, nearly two-thirds,<br /> supported some sort of name change."<br /> Ducks right wing <a href="https://www.espn.com/nhl/players/profile?statsId=500">Teemu Selanne</a> said he's glad the team's name<br /> wasn't changed completely.<br /> "I'm very happy they kept the 'Ducks' because it's the original<br /> name," he said. "Taking the 'Mighty' away makes it more of a<br /> business. I think it's fine. With the new owners, I think they<br /> wanted a new identity.<br /> "I think everybody's talking about it. I think the guys are<br /> happy about it."<br /> Selanne ranks second in franchise history in points, goals and<br /> assists. He has a team-leading 22 goals and 45 points this season,<br /> helping the Ducks to a 22-17-10 record and 54 points.<br /> The name change was first reported in Friday's editions of the<br /> Los Angeles Times and Orange County Register.</p> </div><footer class="article-footer" data-behavior="footer_region"><div class="sponsored-links"><div class="sponsored-headlines"><div class="taboola-container" data-network="espn-network" data-src="https://www.espn.com/nhl/news/story?id=2308588" data-type="article" data-mode="thumbnails-3x1-a" data-placement="story" data-target-type="mix"></div></div></div> <script type='text/javascript'> (function () { var footerLinks, needConsent; try { footerLinks = JSON.parse('[{"copyright":"\u00a9 ESPN Enterprises, Inc.
