It has been 25 years since we saw Emilio Estevez tie his skates for the third and last edition of 1996 Powerful ducks movie. But ducks never say they die … and not even little hockey coaches. Gordon Bombay is back The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, a new Disney + series based on the 1990s franchise. Before its debut on March 26 on the streaming service, Disney released a teaser trailer for the 10-episode show that introduces us to the new status quo in Minneapolis youth hockey . (See the trailer above.)
Thanks in large part to Bombay’s training, the Mighty Ducks are now the most powerful hockey team in the world, and forming the team is fierce competition. That’s what Evan Morrow (Good guys escape star, Brady Noon) learns when he is cut off from the team unceremoniously and gets stuck looking for a new place to land. “If you can’t be good at hockey, it’s, like, don’t worry,” said one of the coaches.
But Evan’s mother, Alex – played by Gilmore Girls Lauren Graham – is very upset by her son’s rejection and takes it upon herself to restart the idea of building a new team of hockey misfits. And she will have some help from another rejected Ducks, Coach Bombay. No longer welcome in his former team’s arena, he drives a run-down ice rink that isn’t getting much business. No wonder he was so cynical about the sport again, to the point of saying to Alex, “Why do you care so much?” “Because you care,” she replies. Where Gordon Bombay is headed, the triple deke cannot be far behind.
Not surprisingly, Ducks fans are feeling the nostalgia of the 90s on Twitter.

“Ugh millennial flattery at its best,” she says as she sobs watching a preview of a Mighty Ducks reboot starring Lorelei Gilmore and silently renews Disney + through her tears.
