A lot has changed since Bombay took The Mighty Ducks from being perpetual underdogs to winning the state championship. They’re indomitable now, and quite selective about who dons their team’s jersey. So, when 12-year-old Evan (Brady Noon) is dropped from the squad, his indignant mother encourages him to create his own team of hockey-loving misfits. And who better to train them than jaded ex-hockey star Bombay – who still claims to hate both hockey and kids.
Girlmore Girl’s Lauren Graham is Evan’s protective mum Alex, while the next generation of hockey hopefuls includes Brady Noon as Evan (Boardwalk Empire), Swayam Bhatia as Sofi (Succession), Taegen Burns as Maya (The Right Stuff), and Kiefer O’Reilly as Logan.
With lots of heart, humor, and emotional uplift, audiences will be cheering on the loveable losers right through to the finale. And, if you’re a fan of the film franchise, you’ll be thrilled to hear that the original Mighty Ducks cast will be reunited in episode 6 of the season.
So, get ready for comedy carnage and triple dekes galore as we explain how to watch The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers online with Disney Plus.
