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.

[ Laughing ]

So l'm right in the middle of my

cross-examination and l say to the guy,

Yargh !

Well, you're great at breaking windows.

Do you ever hit the goal ?

Yeah. Well, one out of five.

Fulton, is it true what they say ?

The Ducks ?

We're the Ducks ?

Man, what brain-dead jerk

came up with that name ?

As a matter of fact, l did. But l didn't

have a choice. We're being sponsored.

By who ? Donald and Daisy ?

Hey, you don't wanna be Ducks ?

You'd rather be District Five ?

Some stupid number ?

Better than some stupid animal.

l'll have you know, Peter,

that the Duck is one of the most noble,

agile and intelligent creatures

of the animal kingdom.

- But they're wimpy.

- They don't even have teeth.

Neither do hockey players.

Have you guys ever seen a flock

of ducks flying in perfect formation ?

lt's beautiful. Pretty awesome

the way they all stick together.

Ducks never say die.

Ever seen a duck fight ?

No way. Why ?

Because the other animals are afraid.

They know that

if they mess with one duck,

they gotta deal

with the whole flock.

Oh, man !

l'm proud to be a duck.

And l'd be proud to fly

with any one of you.

So how about it ?

Who's a Duck ?

l'll be a Duck.

Yeah. Me too.

[ lndistinct chatter ]

Anybody see Goldberg ?

All right !

- Now we're the Ducks !

- [ Cheering ]

- The Mighty Ducks !

- [ Cheering ]

- What are we ?

- [ Together ] The Ducks !

What the hell are they doing ?

Every time you get the puck,

you're the quarterback.

Make eye contact with the receiver.

Talk to him, let him know it's comin'.

Come on, guys. This isn't a library.

Talk to each other.

What a weird-ass team.

How you doin' ?

- You ready ?

- l think so.

Okay, Fulton.

Shoot your heart out.

My God !

Wow !

- [ Crowd gasping ]

- One out of five.

All right,

Let's forget the past.

We lost a few games, tough !

That was District Five.

- Now we're the Ducks.

- Yeah.

- And the Ducks... are undefeated.

- All right ! Yeah !

Quack, quack.

- Quack. Quack.

- [ Together ] Quack ! Quack !

Quack ! Quack !

Quack ! Quack !

[ Chanting ]

Quack ! Quack !

Go... Ducks !

- [ Cheering ]

- What the hell was that ?

[ Bombay ]

Let's go, Ducks ! Defence ! Defence !

Dig it outta there !

Let's go ! Let's go ! Yeah !

Let's go, Ducks !

Throw it ! Throw it !

To the crease !

[ Cheering ]

Yes ! The Oreo line !

That's my boy !

[ Laughing ]

Defence, Karp !

Defence ! Come on.

[ Crowd gasping ]

l don't wanna go

to school today, Mom.

- How many fingers am l holdin' up ?

- He wouldn't know.

Shut up, Peter.

Karp, are you okay ?

- Look at this.

- The Karp-ster used his head

to stop the puck.

Let's get you off the ice.

Come on.

Get him on the bench, Charlie.

Okay, Ducks,

we still got a chance here.

Connie, Terry, Jesse, Guy,

time for the secret weapon.

Okay, Fulton.

Remember, just like we talked about.

Come on, guys.

Let's do it.

[ Cheering ]

Oh, no.

- Go ! Get the face-off !

- Line up, boys, let's go.

That's it.

Aaah !

Whoa !

[ Cheering ]

Whoo ! Yeah !

That tie of yours might be what you need

to make the play-offs.

- The ducks have a shot

at the play-offs ?

- Sure.

Everyone but the last two teams

are in, remember ?

Panthers got the measles

and they forfeited the season.

So, you beat the Huskies

and you'll make the play-offs.

- Well, we might have to play the Hawks.

- So ?

So they're a tough team.

Nothing's changed since l played.

Actually, one little thing

has changed.

You wouldn't even be a Hawk now.

They redrew the district

lines last year.

The lake is not

the boundary any more.

You see ? You'd be a Duck.

l'd be a Duck.

Excuse me. Coach Reilly ?

- Yeah ?

- l'm afraid there's a bit of a problem.

- What's that ?

- One of your players is ineligible.

Banks ! Over here !

- This is a joke, right ?

- l'm afraid it's no joke.

- Problem ?

- No, just a mistake.

Are you this boy's father ? 450 North

Hennipen, is that your address ?

- Yes.

- l'm afraid there's no mistake.

-This boy is playing for the wrong team.

-What ?

According to league rules, Adam Banks

should be playing for District Five.

- My son is a Hawk, not a Duck.

- ls this your doing, Gordon ?

l'll expect to see him

at our next game.

- We'll have a uniform waiting for you.

- No way.

My son would rather not play

than play for your team.

Fine, if that's the way

you want it. But remember,
