Synopsis: Gordon Bombay, a hotshot lawyer, is haunted by memories of his childhood, when, as the star player in his champion hockey team, he lost the winning goal in a shootout, thereby losing the game, and the approval of his coach. After being charged for drunk driving, the court orders him to coach a peewee hockey team, the worst in the league, Gordon is at first very reluctant. However, he eventually gains the respect of the kids and teaches them how to win, gaining a sponsor on the way and giving the team the name of The Ducks.

[ Averman ]

He sniffs.

He sniffs again.

Looking for that perfect place.

[ Averman ]

He sniffs some more. He stops.

l think this is it !

He's turnin' in a circle.

- He squats ! He scores !

- Yes ! We did it !

[ Groaning ]

Full load.

Stinks !

[ Averman ]

Come on, come on, give me the dollar !

Come on, Goldberg, at least try to

stop it. l'm tired of chasin' the puck.

Be careful, man.

lt almost hit me that time.

Goldberg, you're the goalie.

lt's supposed to hit you.

Does that sound stupid

to anyone else ?

Good God.

That's the hockey team.

Drive out on the ice.

lt'll be all right.

[ lndistinct chatter ]

l ain't scared.

- You don't know what you're doin'.

- Shut your face, Karp.

[ Peter ]

We're gonna get in big trouble.

- l'll take care of it.

- They're drugs, l just know it.

Yo, dude.

You obviously in the wrong hood.

This is my dominion. This is

a drug-free zone, you understand ?

We ain't buyin' nothin'.

l'm feelin' generous today.

So l'm gonna let you get your

sorry vanilla bootie outta here...

before we be usin'

your eyeballs as hockey pucks.

Thanks, bro, but l'm not goin' home

Hall, Terry.

Here's the long and the short of it.

l hate hockey and l don't like kids.

What's this supposed to be,

Maybe one day one of you

will even write a book about it in jail.

- Funny.

- ls there a goalie ?

Only for a little while.

l'm movin' back to Philly.

- Thank you for sharing that.

- No problem.

The Pete-meister.

Mr Rabble-rouser.

Passing the puck

over to Jesse-roonie, the enforcer.

- [ Grunt ]

- Ouch !

That hurt !

Oh, it's the Connie-meister,

the velvet hammer.

Hi, coach. l'm Connie.

- No. So what's our record anyway ?

We only lost by five.

We almost scored a goal too.

So what do we do now... coach ?

- What did your old coach have you do ?

- He just yelled a lot.

- That's how he hurt his arm.

- His arm ?

Yeah, one minute he's yelling

at us, ''Little bastards,

where'd you learn to play ?

Oh, you suck, you !

Skate, you little bast--'' [ Gasping ]

Heart attack. Great.

For now, l'll be in my office.

Oh, and if you

need anything, fax me.

One crack in the ice.

That's all it would take. One crack !

- The ice is not gonna crack.

- Who do you think you are ?

- l'm Gordon Bombay,

the new hockey coach.

- The new coach ?

They send you over here to coach

the team and you endanger their lives.

What danger ? l grew up on the ice;

l know when it's safe to drive on.

- How do you know ?

- l just know ! All right ?

Well, listen, Mr Zen Master, you may be

in tune with the ice universe,

but when it comes to my kid,

''l just know'' doesn't cut it.

Charlie, let's go.

Well, l guess practise is over.

- Sorry my mom ruined it, guys.
