Quack, quack ... get ready to watch the Mighty Ducks in flight on Disney Plus. Mighty Ducks: Game Changers is a reboot/sequel series to the '90s-era youth hockey trilogy (which starred a young Joshua Jackson). Emilio Estevez reprises his role as inspiring coach Gordon Bombay and several former Ducks are set to make appearances in later episodes.
But Mighty Ducks: Game Changers puts a major twist on the underdog team we knew and loved in the films. Now, the Ducks are a junior hockey powerhouse and extremely selective about who makes the team. When 12-year-old Evan Marrow (Brady Noon) is cut, his mother Alex (Lauren Graham) encourages him to form a new underdog team. And they get the help of the Ducks' original coach, Gordon.
