During Disney’s big investor presentation last year, there was little provocation for the next series of legacy sequences The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. Unfortunately, it was never officially released out of the show. But today brings the first teaser trailer suitable, which shows The Mighty Ducks becoming the opposite of everything they used to represent.
Inside The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, Evan Morrow, 12 years old (Brady Noon of Good guys) is cut from the team. So your mother (Lauren Graham) encourages you not to give up hockey, meet other kids and start a new one. Of course, they will need a coach, and it turns out that former Mighty Ducks coach Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) there’s not much going on. But he seems a little reluctant to go back to the hockey rink, setting the stage for a perfect return from less favored sports.

See how Disney + sets the stage for this new series set in the world of the original Mighty Ducks franchise:
In today’s 10-episode season in Minnesota, the Mighty Ducks have evolved from clumsy underdogs to an ultra-competitive and powerful youth hockey team. After 12-year-old Evan Morrow (Brady Noon) was cut off from the Ducks without ceremony, he and his mother, Alex (Lauren Graham), started building their own team of misfits to challenge the cruel costs of youth sports culture today. With the help of Gordon Bombay, they rediscover the joys of playing just for the sake of the game.
It is an interesting move to turn The Mighty Ducks into snobbish and elegant villains, especially when it looks like they could easily be a representation of Disney itself. Does this mean that this new team of misfits will have a totally different name? It looks like the new team is wearing yellow shirts, but we can’t understand what they say.
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers also stars Maxwell Simkins, Swayam Bhatia, Luke Islam, Kiefer O’Reilly, Taegen Burns, Bella Higginbotham, and DJ Watts. We only have a glimpse of the new young hockey team, but that quick joke at the end brings the right kind of vibe to a Mighty Ducks series.
Original franchise creator Steven Brill is back as a co-creator and executive producer. He is accompanied by Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa (The king of queens, 13 Continuing 30) as co-creators, executive producers and showrunners. Michael Spiller he is also an executive producer and director of the series while James Griffiths executive producers and directed the pilot. If that weren’t enough, Emilio Estevez and Lauren Graham are also executive producers. And just to be sure, George Heller and Brad Petrigala from Brillstein Entertainment Partners, Jon Avnet, and Jordan Kerner are non-writer executive producers. They can also start their own hockey team.
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers will debut at Disney + from March 26, 2021.
