“Ducks fly together” was the catchphrase from the ’90s Mighty Ducks Disney movies that eventually led to the creation of the Anaheim Ducks. Now the team is taking the phrase literally with one of their draft .

After selecting Roger McQueen with the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli reported the Ducks soon put him on a helicopter to Disneyland.

“Roger McQueen can meet Lightning McQueen at Cars Land,” Seravalli wrote.

McQueen entered this year’s draft with someone unknown, but a lot of optimism. NHL Central Scouting had the Saskatoon native listed as the eighth-best North American skater, trailing the likes of Michael Misa, James Hagens and Porter Martone. Daily Faceoff draft expert Steven Ellis had McQueen as the No. 12 overall prospect coming into the draft, and ninth among forwards.

There are many attributes that already persuade NHL organizations to take a look at McQueen. Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing close to 200 pounds, Ellis recognizes McQueen as one of the top big guys in this draft class.
