that is home to a National Hockey League team, a
Major League Baseball franchise and a U.S. Olympic
team. Add in the fact that it’s the site of the largest
indoor sports facility in the country and boasts more
than 20 youth sports organizations and it’s easy to
see why Anaheim is the center for professional and
amateur sports in the region.
S ince the 1960s, millions of people have attended numerous baseball, hockey and football
games in Anaheim. In 2002, thousands crowded Angel Stadium of Anaheim to watch the
Anaheim Angels win the World Series and in 2003 hockey fans rocked the Arrow-
head Pond of Anaheim as the Mighty Ducks won the Western Conference Championship.
As a result, Sporting News magazine named Anaheim Best Sports City in 2003.
The City has hosted MLB All Star Games, the Freedom Bowl, the John R. Wooden
Basketball Classic, the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Trials—Gymnastics Championships
and the 2005 World Badminton Championships with 300 athletes from more than 50
countries and regions. Golfers from throughout Southern California tee off each day on Dad
Miller—where Tiger Woods was groomed for greatness—and Anaheim Hills golf
courses. And Anaheim’s central location has attracted the atten-

bility of bringing a professional football team to Anaheim.

place, as well as the addition of several new players to
the team, the Ducks have a new look and style of play
this season.
Along with a commitment to putting a winning team
on the ice, the Samuelis have been focused on creating
more hockey fans throughout Southern California. They
have increased the team’s presence at ice and roller hockey
rinks in Southern California and established programs to
support rinks in developing amateur hockey.
In addition, the organization has started working with
elementary schools to teach hockey and demonstrate the
importance of physical activity as part of a healthy life-
style. “It’s really an amazing commitment we are making
to this community and to the team,” Henry Samueli said.
“This is our home and, therefore, we are truly committed
to making the Mighty Ducks a great, great
hockey club.” ]
