The Mighty Ducks

If you love hockey or just a fan, this is a pefect movie for that or a stay home night.Even though it's a kids movie, it still can be enjoyed by adults and teenegers.

The movie is about hockey team who really sucks and lose every game till their new coach, Gordon Bombay, who used to play hockey till he lost the champship game on a Penalty shot and his coach was angry at him cause he loved win so much.Mr Bombay, played by Emilio Estevez (who is popular actor as being part of the brat pack which he's been in the The Breakfast Club and ST Elmo's Fire and the Outsiders). Is a extreme poplar laywer till he suspend cause he was caught on DUI too many times.

Now he is forced to coach a pee wee division 5 team and lead them to the champship game but must go through the best team in the league, the Hawks.Gordon used to play for the Hawks as a kid and that the team he missed the shot with.The Hawks are coached by the same coach that Bombay played for. In his first game, he faces his former coach and loses by a score of 12-0 and The Hawks best player Adam Banks get a Hawk record for most goals in a game. The team has no hockey equipment,so Bombay goes to his boss, Mr. Gerald Ducksworth to sponser the team and gives Bombay at least 10 thosands doallars for hockey equipment for the team and jersey with the name Ducks because they don't have a team name before. Bombay reconnected with his former friend Hans who helped Bombay when he was younger and helpd him deal with his father passing.Now Hans works at the hockey shop where the team the Ducks buys all their hockey equipment. There's a relationship between Bombay and his player's mom Charlie Conway who is played by a young Joshua Jackson(Dawson creek and Fringe,Skulls and ETC).

Bombay finds out that the line where player lives has changed and the Ducks get the Hawks best player, Adam Banks who is hated by all the Ducks cause he played for the Hawks. The team makes it to the champship game vs the hawks but before that they get to practice at the rink where the NHL team, Minnesota North Stars,they meet North Stars players, Basil McRae and one of my favorite hockey players, Michael Modano. then at night they see the North Stars play.The end of the movie is kinda like the begining of the movie as it comes down to a penalty shot .

I give this movie an 8 out of 10. They some memorble quotes. Some quotes like the following
Gordon Bombay: Did you really Quack at the Principal?
Ducks: Yeah.
Gordon Bombay: Are we Ducks or what?
or the following

Goldberg: My mother is not gonna approve of this, Coach! She wants me to live to be Bar Mitzvah'd!
Gordon Bombay: This is your Bar Mitzvah, Goldberg. Today, you become a man.
Goldberg: No. I think you've got the ceremonies mixed up. This is more like a CIRCUMCISION.
well this has been Casey...Out
