We continue our celebration of the Anaheim Ducks upcoming 25th Anniversary season. Today we turn to the big men who protect their team. The Ducks have had some heavyweights during their short time in the league. This is our top five enforcers of all-time.
Thornton only spent one season in Anaheim but filled in as a piece of the team’s muscle. After Todd Fedoruk suffered a gruesome facial injury fighting feared enforcer, Derek Boogaard a little extra toughness was needed. Thornton was brought in during the 2006 offseason and would play only 48 games in a Ducks sweater.
