Get ready to lace up your skates because the Ducks are making a comeback! The beloved early ’90s movie series is being revived with a new show on Disney+, set to debut in March. And yes, Gordon Bombay will reprise his role as the coach of the renowned youth hockey team.
A Quick Refresher
In the original The Mighty Ducks film, Gordon Bombay is a struggling lawyer sentenced to community service after a DUI (a bold move, Disney, am I right?). His punishment? Coaching a youth hockey team filled with a group of misfit players in dire need of guidance. Bombay, who was once a hockey star playing for the Hawks, finds himself up against his former team in the playoffs. The story also features Charlie, a young player (portrayed by Joshua Jackson before his Dawson’s Creek fame), who Bombay mentors while developing a bond with his mother and stepping into a father figure role.
The Reboot: Game Changers
The original film was a classic, and its sequels didn’t disappoint either. When Disney+ unveiled its exciting lineup for 2021-2022, fans were thrilled to discover that The Mighty Ducks would return in a reboot titled Game Changers.
Set in modern-day Minnesota, the new series portrays the Mighty Ducks as an ultra-competitive youth hockey team (goodbye, Hawks!). They’ve become so intense that the original type of players who formed the team are now considered inadequate.
Lauren Graham stars as the mother of 12-year-old Evan, an avid hockey player who gets cut from the Ducks. In response, she decides to assemble a group of other kids who didn’t make the team to form their own squad (anyone noticing a pattern here?).
What to Expect
Although it’s uncertain how significant Estevez’s role will be, it’s hard to imagine him not being a central character, especially since he appears in the trailer. There’s still no confirmation on whether Joshua Jackson will make a cameo as Charlie, particularly since his character’s mother married someone other than Gordon in the sequels (how rude!). However, fans of Graham from Gilmore Girls and Parenthood will surely enjoy seeing her in action.
Game Changers is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 26, featuring 10 episodes. It’s exciting to think that a new generation will get to experience the franchise, and it gives older millennial parents the perfect excuse to introduce their kids to the classic ’90s films. A true win-win!
