In praise of Bobby Ryan

In praise of Bobby Ryan
"The biggest thing is just his poise and his hands are unbelievable. I played with [Evgeni] Malkin and [Sidney] Crosby, and those guys are probably the two best in the league. Bobby's hands are right with those guys... He's a superstar in the making, it seems."
---Ryan Whitney, former Ducks defenseman

Rinks Inauguration - Westminster Ice

The Anaheim Ducks celebrated the grand opening of the latest Ducks Rinks acquisition, Westminster Ice, Wednesday night.

Fans, athletes from the Special Olympics Southern California, and Ducks players Jonas Hiller and Ryan Getzlaf were on hand for the festivities, which included a special holiday toy drive benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Garden Grove and Long Beach as well as the Anaheim Ducks Toy Drive (which has been collecting toys at home games throughout the month of December). Fans bringing a new, unwrapped toy would receive a voucher good for the public skate, a ticket to one of select Anaheim Ducks home games, and the opportunity to meet Hiller and Getzy.

Westminster Ice is the fourth rink to be added to The Rinks program. There are now two ice and two inline facilities being owned and operated by the Ducks.

Getzy and Hiller were all warm smiles as they greeted fans, signed autographs, posed for pictures, and accepted toy donations. For more information about Westminster Ice and The Rinks program, click here.
