THE MIGHTY DUCKS (1992)

Starring Emilio Estevez and Joshua Jackson

Directed by Stephen Herek

When hotshot lawyer Gordon Bombay is sentenced to community service coaching a peewee ice hockey team of underdogs, you know things are gonna get real good. At first a reluctant coach still facing the demons from his own peewee ice hockey days, he gradually gains the respect of his lovable but rowdy group of kids, and transforms them into a winning team just in time for the finals. Mighty Ducks 2 returned with the same group of children and inspiring victory, plus cooler uniforms, but we won’t blame you if you gave the third one a pass.

FUN FACT: Then lesser known child actors Leonardo dicaprio and Jake Gyllenhaal both auditioned for the part of Charlie Conway, but both lost out to Joshua Jackson.
