The Anaheim Ducks are a professional ice hockey team founded in 1993 by the Walt Disney Company as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. The name was chosen from the 1992 Disney film The Mighty Ducks, a movie based on a group of misfit kids who turn their losing youth hockey team into a winning team. The club was named the Mighty Ducks, complete with the same logo from the film. Disney sold the franchise in 2005 to Broadcom co-founder Henry Samueli and his wife Susan, who changed the team’s name to the Anaheim Ducks before the 2006–07 season.

The correct answer is Anaheim.
