Apr 30, 2021 · The Mighty Ducks is a franchise that gives so much — here are all the life lessons it taught us as kids that we still stand by today.
- Never, ever drink and drive. Well, the film sort of taught us this. I mean, the DUI arrest leads Gordon Bombay back to his first and future love – hockey and Charlie’s mom — but come on, nobody likes community service.
- Kids have personalities too. In my day, movies and soap operas were chock full of sweet, innocent blank canvasses of children. But the Mighty Ducks took a more Goonies approach to portraying its tweens.
- Without Goldberg and that other kid, we never would have known how to make the most of our ample Irish cheeks.
- Diving gets results. Repeat after me: “Take the fall, act hurt, get indignant.”
- Life Is Full of Second (or Third) Chances
- Reunite with Old Friends
- Revisiting Your Childhood Hobbies Is Fun
- Ducks Fly Together, Duh
The first Mighty Ducks movie centred on Coach Bombay’s fall from grace after missing the crucial championship goal many moons ago. But as the film goes on and he’s surrounded by an unlikely bunch of kids whom he coaches in ice hockey, his love of the game is reignited and he gets to live the glory years vicariously. In the reboot, we pick up with B...
Assuming your old friends aren’t in your life’s rearview mirror for a very good reason, maybe it’s time to rekindle a friendship? Relive the golden years, spice up your current life, whatever, just show some love to the people who once meant something to you for no other reason than it could be fun. Bonus points if you get your childhood netball te...
Much like me watching all the original Mighty Ducks movies and then smashing through The Mighty Ducks: Game Changerson Disney+, revisiting activities you enjoyed as a kid can be fun. Not everything has to have a higher meaning (there’s a bonus life lesson for you) and sometimes going back to bask in innocent childhood loves just feels, well, nice. ...
In case you forgot, we’re here to remind you that ducks fly together. Aka, teamwork is the foundation of everything and it’s also a very key message in The Mighty Ducksso it had to be in here. Quack, quack, QUACK . . . fine, we’ll stop. Catch up now on The Mighty Ducks: Game Changersbefore the big finale hits Disney+ on May 28.
Nov 12, 2013 · Real Life Lesson: It’s quite easy to play the victim rather than accepting the situation and digging our own way out. We often blame outside forces for our situation: our genetics, the weather, the economy, our significant other, bad luck, the government, or whatever. It’s far too easy to say “if only I had _________, things would be better.”
- "QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!" Repeated by Mighty Ducks team members. The Mighty Ducks trilogy. The quacking might seem nonsensical to some, and it likely got on the nerves of parents watching the movies with their kids in the '90s, but the sound made the team a unifying force.
- "You Cannot Be Afraid To Lose. That's How You Gain The Confidence To Attack The Puck When The Game Isn't Yours." Ted Orion, D3: The Mighty Ducks. D3 might not be a favorite among fans, but it does feature this nugget of wisdom.
- "I'm No Lady. I'm A Duck!" Connie Moreau, D2: The Mighty Ducks. There are never more than two girls on the team at a time. Tammy (Jane Plank) leaves after the first movie and Julie comes on board, but Connie (Marguerite Moreau) is there throughout all three movies.
- "A Quarter Of An Inch The Other Way And You Would Have Missed Completely." Charlie Conway, The Mighty Ducks. When the team learns that Gordon Bombay played is a former Hawk, most of them are ready to cut ties with him completely.
Jan 30, 2021 · Top 10 Leadership lessons from the Mighty Ducks. While D1 got a 23% on Rotten Tomatoes and D2 received a 20% (I know… absurd), the films will live in the infamy of any 30-40 year old in 2021 as one of the greatest childhood films of all time. The Sandlot’s slice of Americana may take the top spot, but the ducks delivered in a serious way.
Mar 23, 2021 · With the Mighty Ducks reboot coming to Disney+ this week, we've taken a look at the lessons we learnt from The Minnesota Miracle man, Gordon Bombay.
