Having achieved a modicum of fame from their earlier adventures, all the members of the Mighty Ducks hockey team are awarded scholarships to a prestigious prep school. But they must now play in the school's uniforms and renounce their freewheeling style for the more disciplined approach of their new coach, Ted Orion (Jeffrey Nordling). After star player Charlie (Joshua Jackson) quits the team, their old coach, Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez), must return to reinvigorate the Ducks' spirit.

The Mighty Ducks, Minnesota's underdog kid hockey team, are back again, in a third version of more or less the same story.

Hot take - this is the best of the bunch because of the shift in focus and Charlie’s character arc. Is he an annoying teen? Absolutely and that’s the point - plus it continues everything else you love about this series - hijinks and hockey

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The first two are by far better but it’s decent

Well this franchise went out with a fizzle. In this installment the hockey team is given scholarships to a prestigious private high school and must establish themselves as the junior varsity team. These are the same characters and actors portraying them, but this movie doesn’t feel like part of the franchise. Any character growth from previous installments was ignored and Charlie didn’t feel like the right character. Emilio Estevez returns, but isn’t in most of the movie as the school employs a different coach. Love interests for the characters are set up but not explored in any meaningful way. There is just no heart to this movie, like the first. Skip this one unless you have to see the whole trilogy.

I think saying that my family likes to pretend this movie doesn't exist says enough about the quality of this movie.

Well, all came to this, a mocking of a nice story, reduced to a cartoonish movie that just threw away all that has been the short franchise… pitty.
