"The Anaheim Ducks saw all of that and decided to bump it up a notch and blow every other opening night giveaway out of the water. Each fan in attendance for their opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins received a Wild Wing-style goalie mask. Yes, that famous goalie mask with a curved duck bill is what each fan found on their seats when they walked into Honda Center in what might be " the best giveaway ever ". The promotion was sponsored by UCI Health."
"The "duck goalie mask" has long been an icon of the franchise since they entered the league. It was the team's first logo from their inception until the 2007 rebrand saw the main logo become a webbed duck foot. It returned as an alternate in 2015 and would once again become the team's primary logo last offseason as apart of a jersey redesign. Through it all, their mascot is still "Wild Wing", the duck who wears the famous goalie mask."
Each fan at Anaheim's home opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins received a Wild Wing-style goalie mask on seats, a promotion sponsored by UCI Health. The curved duck-bill mask has been an emblem since the franchise entered the league, serving as the first logo until a 2007 rebrand and returning as an alternate in 2015 before becoming the primary logo again last offseason. The mascot remains Wild Wing, who wears that mask. The logo gained recognition partly through the team's Disney-era marketing and a 1990s cartoon, and the giveaway amplified excitement for Anaheim's anticipated season after years of rebuilding.
