- Ducks confirmed Troy Terry had hip surgery on June 9 and will miss the start of 2026-27
- Terry faces a five to six month recovery from a hip impingement and labral tear
- Read below for the timeline, his 2025-26 numbers, and what Anaheim loses up front
The Ducks are going to start next season without Troy Terry.
Anaheim announced Thursday that Terry had surgery on June 9 to repair a hip impingement and a labral tear. The team expects him to need five to six months to recover, which pushes his return into next season, likely somewhere around mid-November to mid-December.
Here’s the team’s announcement:
None of this came out of nowhere. The Ducks said back in May that Terry was playing through a chronic hip problem and would likely need surgery. Now it’s official.
Terry gutted through the injury all year and still put up 19 goals and 38 assists in 61 games.
The 28-year-old has been Anaheim’s most reliable scorer for a long time. He owns four 20-goal seasons and has hit at least 50 points in five straight years, with a career high of 67 back in 2021-22.
He also got his first real taste of the playoffs this spring. Terry had three goals and eight assists in 12 games as the Ducks knocked off the Oilers in six and pushed to the second round before Vegas ended their run.
Losing him to open the year hurts a team that finally took a step. Anaheim snapped a seven-year playoff drought, and Terry was a big part of why.
The surgery went clean and the rehab clock has already started. A mid-season return still gives Terry plenty of time to get back to form before the Ducks make their next push.
