Hello! I am a Kings fan. But my little brother is a huge Ducks fan and he wants to meet Teemu Selanne. I took him to the practice one time but there was no luck in taking a picture with him they drive out. Do the Ducks hold any events like Tip-A-King or Meet the Ducks or anything like that where fans can meet some of the players? Thanks for the help!

Yes, check the Ducks site regularly, or go to some traning camp practices and try some more.

This may be a long shot but have you tried calling the club directly and asking?

Doesn't the team have events like the Casino night or a Dinner or something?

Sure if you are willing to pay the $$$$.
Teemu is a pretty cool guy, especially with kids. Take your little bro to training camp and after a few tries, I'm sure Selanne will be available for an autograph/picture.
Kings and Ducks fans all in one household? That must be a house divided. ;)

There is an event for season ticket holders - with food and fun things to do including waiting in long lines for auographs. I think it will be on oct 4 this year. Tickets usually show up on ebay etc.
GO DUCKS!!

The event you're referring to used to be called "Break the Ice". They may have changed the name last year. We've gone every year it has been around. The only problem is that you can wait in line forever if you're seeking the autograph of one of the more popular players. Generally, three or four players are seated at one "station". There are 8-10 stations at various locations. (Last year, I believe everything was inside the Pond. There have been some locations in various parts of the parking lot in the past.)
Casino Night and Dux in Tux are good ideas, too, although they can be a bit pricey. Finally, get some Ducks fans to show you where the players drive out after the games. There's no guarantee, but, some of them will stop and sign sometimes.
One final note: you will never meet a nicer, more gracious hockey player than Teemu Selanne.

Probably Anaheim Ice would be the best.
Like everyone has said above. Temmu is one of the nicest players in the league today. I met him while wearing a Kings jersey when he was playing in San Jose and he was Gracious to me and anyone else that was there that day in Vegas.
