Official Fan Celebration is Saturday

The 2007 Stanley Cup Champion Anaheim Ducks are inviting all fans to attend the team’s official Stanley Cup Fan Celebration on Saturday, June 9 at 6:30 p.m. just outside the south entrance (facing Katella Ave.) to Honda Center.

Fans in attendance will receive free Wienerschnitzel hot dogs, Pepsi Cola and Aramark barbeque potato chips. The event will feature the entire roster of the 2007 Stanley Cup Champion Anaheim Ducks as well as live music and entertainment.

Parking for the Stanley Cup Championship Fan Celebration will be free for all attendees. In addition and in an effort to lessen impact on the environment, all beverage containers and products associated with the Wienerschnitzel hot dog giveaway will be recyclable.

From Anaheim Ducks & All Ducks .com

I will be there, sporting my snazzy, new draft day hat. I can't miss out on free food. Oh yeah, and the Cup.

I'll be there.
I read somewhere about nametags. Are we doing that?

"Hi my name is _____ and I'm a Duck-a-holic."

YAY!!! I must goez!!!!!!

Will the players be up on stage or something or behind booths? I doubt they will be just walking around (though it would be cool) for the fans to just mob.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm there. If need be I'll have a nametag. Why not?

:vhappy::vhappy::hyper::hockey:

I know it says parking is free but does anyone know the price, if there is one, to get into the celebration?

Is everyone wearing their jerseys?

I'm hoping to get more signatures from this championship team--I especially want Burke's. The only thing is, I wanted to get a SC 2007 patch pressed on to my jersey but there are signatures where it's supposed to go (I was going to "S. Niedermayerize" it but he signed right where the "C" goes).

Is it free for anyone?

I'm not sure either. I would think it'd be free as no prices have been mentioned.

"Hi my name is _____ and I'm a Duck-a-holic."

It's been 18 hrs since I last watched the Ducks win.:yo::cheers:

I'm not wearing a jersey as I haven't bought it yet. Got a few old logo ones though.

It's been 18 hrs since I last watched the Ducks win.:yo::cheers:

I'm already suffering withdrawals.

Goin. :handclap::yo:

No, I'm not going to wear a nametag, sorry. That's a little too dorky. I won't be rocking a jersey, either, since I'll be flying directly from work at Houston and aside from two pairs of t-shirts and jeans are business suits, so I'll either be totally overdressed for the occasion or else completely incognito. However, keep an eye out for the devastatingly handsome guy with a Jessica Alba-lookalike on his arm.















He'll know where to find me.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm there. If need be I'll have a nametag. Why not?

:vhappy::vhappy::hyper::hockey:

Lol, can you imagine the stares we'd get from non-hf boarders?:

"Hey, DontGoInThere, over here! :yo:"

WHAT no parade?????
just a big party??????

whats with this? A hockey tradition down the drain.
and where is your state governor for the congrats picture?

come on,

I'll be there.

Goin. :handclap::yo:

Wanna carpool? :)

And.... nametags???!!! I don't do nametags.

EDIT: Ok, fine, I will do nametags, if everyone else from HF is doing it to.

I'm not sure either. I would think it'd be free as no prices have been mentioned.
Everything is free - parking, food, drinks... Not sure about women :naughty: Just kidding!

Wait, so women ARE free?

I will be there for sure. I can't wait! :)

I'll try to make it. I'll wear a lux_interior name tag if anyone else wears one. But I doubt we'll see each other.

What kind of crowd numbers are the Ducks expecting? I'll be there for sure...

I'll try and wear a "Ducksforcup" tag. Who knows? We may see each-other! :)

I'll use this! :D Good stuff.

EDIT: I can put my avatar on too obobo...! :D

Screw nametags. Wear your playoff avatar. Give us your lunch money!

Liked i said i wish i was going. but califorina is a long way from texas but i will be there in spirit

Well my chances are pretty good of seeing at least one of the 23 obobo's.

But roughly 2.5 times more likely to see one of the 71 lyons.

Too bad I'll be 3000 miles away from the party. Free women too.

lucky guys, but glad for you that you can be there

enjoy it

Nah, I've seen lions at the zoo. Just once I'd like to meet an obobo.

Any chance any of the other 97 ktulu's will be there?

Party at the Hond Saturday around 6pm, who's going to be there? I hear some bands, probably including Pennywise are going to be there along with 20,000 people.

Are people really calling it the Hond or the Ponda?

lyons and temoz and (jerky) leclercs, oh my!

What time are you Duck-a-holics planning on getting there? Gonna being early or fashionably late?

I could wear a jersey with "lyons 71" on it. But it wouldn't be a ducks jersey...

So maybe i'm just gonna put masking tape across my chest and write "give us your lunch money" on it...

i can spot Lux in the crowd
he's a white guy

What time are you Duck-a-holics planning on getting there? Gonna being early or fashionably late?

Early. I don't know exactly when though. I am always way early to the games too.

I've been working on nametags but I can't seem to decide which one looks better:
http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/65/nametag4or0.jpg
Or
http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/5472/nametag5gy5.jpg

Or even whether it should be one line of text or two. Or where the avatar should be located (nearer to the top? bottom?).

Someone's got some free time.

Someone's got some free time.

And lots of it! :D I'm out for the summer and I've got absolutely nothing to do.
Well, I could clean up my room or wash my car or read a book or watch a movie but I'd rather not.

Shoot, I'll wear a nametag. You guys can't miss me, I'm going to be the guy in a black Ducks jersey. :sarcasm: Haha, but I'll be hanging around the free food area. Free food=me there.

DFC has my name (display name too) tattoed on his butt. Just look for that.:sarcasm:

I'll be there!!! And as akward as wearin a nametag is I think its a cool idea. I have so many crazy ideas about you all it'd be interesting to see some of you.:naughty:

Ya know... if you do it this way, then I don't think there's a need for the "Hi, my name is " portion. The HF boards, Avatars and Screen name will do. If anything, just add Press on there to make it seem like there's a whole bunch of reporters on location covering the party. = )

I don't think I'll be able to make it... my brother and his family are coming in from overseas after four years and are only gonna be around for a week.

i'll be heading out at around 5???

i'll be heading out at around 5???

I'll be going fashionably early. :D

I'm heading out from Riverside around 3:00, and browse at Hockey Giant in Anaheim for a while.

I'll be wearing a black Alpinestars t-shirt and a new draft day cap. I ain't wearing a nametag, though!

Ill be there with my brother ducks4cup :)

What kind of crowd numbers are the Ducks expecting? I'll be there for sure...

I herd about 20,000 people

Ill be there with my brother ducks4cup :)

I thought that was you Mr. Lobel.

Yay! I'm on my way now. Just gonna get the tires rotated and then it's down to Anaheim! Can't wait to see you all there.
I'll have a name tag and possible a bright blue UCLA sweater. :D
(or sky blue/light blue.. one of them)

You all have fun now and go crazy and take lots of pictures

Here is my name tag. (thanks to ccm for the template). :)

http://www.geocities.com/robertlobel/hfnametag.JPG

:yo: :yo: :yo:

since i don't have an avatar then you'll just have to look for ducks4cup then find me. I have an old Lupal jersey.

I'll be with DFC and his bro!:yo: No jersey.:shakehead

I'm very low-tech so it will just say lux_interior. I'll be wearing the home black ducks jersey and a ducks hat.

I doubt anyone will see anyone else, they're expecting like 20000 people there. The nametags will just be good for other people to point and laugh.

FYI, the parking lot is already full (it was full at 2:30) and there's already a huge crowd of people waiting to get in. I don't think the designated area is going to hold everyone. Get down here ASAP.

Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to have a band no one knew play music no one wanted to hear for an hour? I could understand if it was before the ceremony, but as part of it? People were booing after the 5th song...

It was great seeing all the support Giguere got. The fans want him back, Burke!

Nice dramatic helicopter entrance for the cup. Too bad the lame band burned everyone out. Seriously, they were demoralizing!!! "this song goes out to..." for every song.

will post pics tomorrow
great seeing lux again

i was booing after the second song. HOOORIBLE. I hope this isnt the last time we see teemu and js in anaheim.

Besides the beginning, I thought that it was SO COOL! :yo: Awesome stuff. My legs are burning for standing for that long, but well worth it! :) The fans were AWESOME!

I saw Big Penns and Getzlaf up close and I saw Parros driving off in a '68 El Dorado I believe. Good stuff! :yo:

From Pennywise on, it was awesome. I have a bunch of pictures as well. Will post depending on how they turn out. I also caught one of the t-shirts they were shooting out of the cannons, but it didn't have one of those coupons they were talking about.

I'm looking forward to see some pics and videos, especially about Pennywise...

Here is few pics from OC Register:

Duck Vader is pretty cool!

Damn, you must have been right next to me. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k274/peter89_2006/IMG_5786.jpg

I was probably just to the right of the guy with the white and blue shirt, on the curb next to the palm trees. I had a bright orange practice jersey, but I can't find myself in that picture.

I doubt anyone will see anyone else, they're expecting like 20000 people there. The nametags will just be good for other people to point and laugh.

lol that happened to be the case

BTW, I started a photo thread in the Playoffs forum:

http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=387828 (http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=387828)

Feel free to also post any photos there that you don't mind sharing with non-Ducks fans.

There were so many fing people there. There was no way any of us would see eachother.

Did anyone else catch Parros throwing the "rock on" gesture and "motorboating" the air while he was on the bus? I don't know if he knew the camera was on him, but it was so friggin' perfect.

I didn't wear a name tag and didn't see any either.
I did see that guy from the OC Register pic w/ the "To win the Stanley Cup before the Kings: Priceless" sign though.

Yeah, there were some pretty good chants going. "One more year!" for Teemu, "Re-sign Giguere!" for Burke, and Jiggy, by far, drew the loudest/longest cheers.

Afterwards I went to JT Schmid's and Teemu walked in but I didn't want to harass him for autographs and he went into a private room anyway.

Anyway, I hope Teemu really does take the Arnold route and says, "I'll be back." ;)

I Agree hopefully he will stay for one more year. cool pictures it looked liked a kick ass party

This is a pic my friend took (that's the back of my head, I was taking a picture too or texting or something)...off center but our Ponda looks beautiful here--so noble and orange. *tear*

The too many people part or the point and laugh part?

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f165/NativeHalo/OrangePonda.jpg

It's kind of interesting how there's 2 guys, one with the old jersey, and one with the new, right next to each other. And how the old jersey wearer is smaller than the new jersey wearer. And that the diagonal stripe on the bottom goes the opposite way, so they almost flow together. It's almost symbolic of the team.

I also see that everyone's favorite bum captain finally got a shower and a shave. It's like he de-aged 15 years overnight.

Stop typing so loud...

man
my pics came out ****** :(
hopefully lux's come out nice with his 7x zoom

funny how when Jiggy was out everyone yelled out RESIGN JIGGY
and for Teemu ONE MORE YEAR

Hehe. I was in that area too! But you probably didn't see me or anything 'cause I'm too short.
I remember seeing someone in an orange jersey. Sleeves sorta between the elbow and wrist? :O
I'll see if I have any good pics after i upload them.

I saw you.:naughty:

Oh did you get any good pics you wanna send my way? All mine sucked.

OMG its a lady.:naughty:

Looks like there was a great turnout and everyone seemed to have an amazing time. Good job guys.

So after the party I went back to the Ayres hotel (right across the street from the Ponda). Me, my bro and his gf decided to go down to the hot tub around 9:15. As we walk down there, We see Drew Miller walking towards us down a hall. I told him congrats and complimented him on that great hit that set up Mac's goal that one game.
So we get to the hot tub, and Drew Miller and Sebastian Caron are already there with two ladies. We get in the tub and start to talk hovkey with them. Caron thinks that we will re-sign Jiggy at 5 mil/ 5 years. He also thinks that DiPietro's contract is ridiculous. It was funny that Caron knew nothing about the Ducks signing Hiller (I was thinking that Burke didnt tell him on purpose, maybe he is gone?).
As they get up to leave, Miller offers us his uneaten pizza. which we gladly accept. Pizza never tasted so much like Victory!!

So we get to the hot tub, and Drew Miller and Sebastian Caron are already there with two ladies.

lol, it didn't take them long to acclimate to So-Cal and meet some people did it? :D

I went to hooters after and George Parros was there.. we bought him a pitcher of Miller Lite.. GHT not for George lol.. and my bros got some knockoff t-shirts signed..

So cool that a bunch of you ran into the players! :yo:

:biglaugh: Thats hilarious, but at the same time I kinda feel bad. I don't know how comforting his prediction for Giguere is when he doesn't even know that the Ducks just signed somebody that makes him virtually obsolete with this team.

lol, it didn't take them long to acclimate to So-Cal and meet some people did it? :D

I bet they just walk into a bar, up to some chick, "Hi, I play in the NHL."

"Hi [$$$$$$$$]!"

Hehe. I was in that area too! But you probably didn't see me or anything 'cause I'm too short.

"Hi [$$$$$$$$]!"

That's funny. Back when we had Kariya I knew off this chick, total golddigger. A friend tried to set her up with none other than Paul Kariya. When asking about this "mystery" date she asked what he did for work. After being told he played in The NHL she scoffed and said something along the lines off, "Pass. I need a man who can provide for me and the lifestyle I've become acustomed too.":huh::whaaa?::m-confused::m-shocked::amazed:

That's the tree that the t-shirt went into. T-shirt as in the ones the pp girls were shooting out. I believe it was an orange tee and it landed right in the middle of the tree.

Lol, Perry looks like a little kid on Christmas, like it's the coolest thing that he gets to sit in a real fire truck.

Supposedly, this whole event was on TV (FSN). I don't know because I was out of town. Did anyone happen to tape/tivo it? If so, is it possible for me to get a copy (dvd)? I'd be happy to pay you for your troubles :handclap:

Any chance you could YouTube Arnie's speech? A definite classic.

that would be awesome

I assume some of the Celebration and the Arnold Speech will be included at the end of the Stanley Cup DVD that the NHL is releasing in July.

If you go to the Ducks website and look at DucksTV, they have a video from the celebration. It shows most of the highlights, including the Governator's speech.
