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.

At least l can handle the puck !

[ lndistinct arguing ]

Hey, shut up !

You guys stink !

l thought we came

here to play hockey.

- You know, l knew we forgot something.

- [ Laughing ]

Oh, you think it's funny ?

You think losing is funny ?

Well, not at first,

but once you get the hang of it.

We're the ones out there

gettin' our butts kicked.

Yeah, it's not like you coach us

or anything. At least we try.

You didn't listen

to a word l said.

l said, keep your heads up.

You put your heads down.

l said, hustle.

You went slower !

That was the sloppiest

playing l've ever seen.

Why the hell don't you

just listen to me ?

Why the hell should we ?

l don't care.

You want to lose, fine. You're the ones

who look like idiots out there.

[ Reilly ]

Great game !

Hans ?

[ Cheering ]

l don't believe it !

Who would throw these away ?

- First look's free, next five

minutes costs a buck each.

- Fork it over.

Forget it, Karp.

l can see this every day on MTV.

This one's from Minneapolis.

Hey, Guy, look, it's your mom.

- Let's give him a wedgie.

- Good idea, Jesse !

l was just kidding, okay ?

Hey ! Give that back !

- Hi, girls.

- Does your mommy know you have that ?

Nah, she's busy with the mailman.

That'll make great bathroom reading.

That's mine, you jerk !

You don't even know

what to do with it, wuss-breath.

- You gonna let him

[ Buzzer ]

Give me a break, ref ! Open your eyes !

Did you see what he did to me ?

Goldberg, you don't take the fall

while they're shooting at you.

Oh ! Well, l guess you didn't

explain that very well, did ya ?

- District Five !

- l throw myself on the ice --

Cut the acting class.

One more dive, l forfeit to the Jets !

What ? l'm insulted by that !

- Let's go ! Let's go !

- Quit it !

[ Whistle blowing ]

Face-off ! Let's go !

Charlie !

That guy is twice your size. The next

time he gets you in a corner like that,

l want you to grab your eye

like it's cut and then hit the ice !

- Got it ? Let's go.

- [ Referee ] Let's go ! Face-off !

Okay, even 'em up, boys.

Here we go.

Hey --

- Come on !

- That's it, Charlie.

- That's it, Charlie !

- Come on !

Damn it, Charlie !

We can't even win when we cheat.

- Stupid cake-eater tricks !

- [ Connie ] That was embarrassing.

Charlie ! What the hell

is the matter with you ?

When l tell you to do something,

you do it ! You got it ?

Look at me.

- You got it ?

- You can't make me cheat.

Jesse, Terry, let's go.

This is what l gave up

my overtime pay for ?

To see my kids takin' falls ?

Gordon.

- How did you know ?

- Through the back door

at this time of night.

Just like you used to.

You'd spend hours

watching me do this.

What do you think ?

ls this sharp enough ? Ow !

- Did you cut yourself ?

- No. [ Chuckling ]

You always fell for that.

- God, you're morbid, Hans.

- No, l'm Scandinavian.

- lt's nice to see you.

- Sure, sure, sure.

You probably thought

l was dead.

l saw you at the game the other night.

Why didn't you say anything ?

You were so busy

screaming at the kids.

l didn't want

to spoil the moment.
