The original Mighty Ducks film quacked its way into movie lover’s hearts in 1992 and nearly three decades later, it still has a dedicated fanbase.
The Mighty Ducks, which starred Emilio Estevez as Coach Gordon Bombay, made hockey cool nationwide — and inspired some fans to quack in class when they didn’t get their way. After Gordon gets into legal trouble, he is ordered to coach a peewee hockey team — the Ducks — in a league against his former childhood team, the Hawks.
With the help of Minnesota hockey hopeful Charlie Conway (Joshua Jackson), Gordon rounds up a motley crew to play on his team. Throughout the film, the players — including Goldberg (Shaun Weiss), who is a goalie that can’t stop falling down, ringer Fulton Reed (Elden Henson) and former Hawks player Adam Banks (Vincent LaRusso) — bond under the support and guidance of coach Bombay.
The ‘90s film’s success led to two sequels, D2: The Mighty Ducks and D3: The Mighty Ducks. In 2014, the D2: Mighty Ducks stars got together to celebrate its 20th anniversary and recreated the team’s iconic “Flying V” formation on a tennis court.
