The whole team “Mighty Ducks” have won scholarships to prestigious Eden Hall: Charlie (Joshua Jackson), Goldberg (Shaun Weiss), Fulton (Elden Henson), Averman (Matt Doherty), Julie ‘the Cat’ (Colombe Jacobsen-Derstine), Russ (Kenan Thompson), Dwayne (Ty O’Neal), Luis (Mike Vitar), Ken (Justin Wong), Guy Germaine (Garette Ratliff Henson), Connie (Marguerite Moreau), and Adam (Vincent Larusso). But there are some changes for the team. First of all, one of the ‘Basher Brothers’ Dean Portman (Aaron Lohr) is not going to join them. But most important, their coach Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) won’t be coaching them anymore. Charlie can’t accept that and even more can’t accept their seemingly harsh new coach, Ted Orion (Jeffrey Nordling). The ‘Mighty Ducks’ have a big game ahead of them against the Varsity team ‘Warriors’ who are going to be hard to beat. Will they be able to beat them and show them who’s the best?

With plenty of suspense and humor, “D3: The Mighty Ducks” is certainly worth the watch. Terrific acting done by the whole cast, including the notable actor Joss Ackland who plays Hans, the good friend and mentor to the ‘Ducks’. The suspense during the hockey games were sometimes pretty intense, especially the last game between the ‘Ducks’ and the ‘Warriors’. As for the humor, the movie was hilarious, I was laughing most of the time!

A few of my favorites parts are when the ‘Ducks’ play pranks on the Varsity team and when Bombay gives his little ‘speech’ to the board members of Eden Hall.
And a few of my favorite lines is:
Cheerleader: Cheerleaders only. Are you a cheerleader?
Linda: Do I look like an idiot?
Connie: This ninja stuff makes you look, I don’t know, how would you say…
Guy Germaine: Ruggedly handsome?
Connie: Amazingly stupid.
Dwayne (while swinging a lariat at one of the Varsity members): It would be more fun for me if you ran.

I’m a huge fan of the Mighty Ducks trilogy. I must say that this film is my favorite. This one, I thought, had more of a plot. Some moments were inspirtational to me, and the fighting between the two teams really gets you into the movie. You don’t have to be a fan of hockey in the least bit to love this movie.

Paul Kariya, at the time was captain of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (now Anaheim Ducks), makes a cameo appearance during the second intermission of the Ducks/Varsity Warriors game.
