After the glory days of the original Mighty Ducks, the team has faded into legend. The new generation of kids are more interested in tech, social media, and other distractions than playing hockey. But Evan Morrow, a young and scrappy player from a broken home, gets kicked off his elite hockey team for being “too rough.” With nowhere else to turn, Evan discovers a new hockey program led by a washed-up, down-on-his-luck coach who once played for the Ducks but now runs a youth hockey team with no funding and no support. The new Mighty Ducks team is an underdog group of misfits, each dealing with their own struggles but united by a shared love for the game. Together, they aim to compete in a prestigious league, proving that heart and passion can beat out money and privilege.
