The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers

Last Updated on: February 22nd, 2023

The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers Disney plusIn present day Minnesota, the Mighty Ducks have evolved from scrappy underdogs to an ultra-competitive, powerhouse youth hockey team. After 12-year-old Evan Morrow is unceremoniously cut by the Ducks — a team he’s played for practically his whole life — he’s heartbroken. His mom, Alex Morrow (Lauren Graham), has had enough. She’s been lugging Evan’s hockey equipment, driving him to practices at dawn — and now he’s being told “don’t bother” playing? She just snaps — getting in the coach’s face with the big question of the series:  “Shouldn’t kids be allowed to play a sport for fun?” Alex convinces Evan that they should start their own team, a whole group of “Don’t Bothers.” The underdogs, the misfits, kids who are too small or slow or just don’t buy into this modern sports culture. They’ll play for the love of the game.

I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it.
