We are in the age of reboots and revivals and I know that is a sore subject for all the purists out there. However, I personally enjoy the idea of giving new generations something to enjoy, which also allows us oldies to relish in the nostalgia. Yes, some reboots/revivals are trash, but so far I’ve been lucky enough to review some gems like the latest reimagining of Saved By The Bell and Punky Brewster. It’s time to add The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers to that must-watch list because so far it is FANTASTIC! I had the opportunity to watch the first 3 episodes of the series and I cannot wait for more.
Something I personally cannot wait for are the OG Ducks cameos coming our way. According to an interview with creator Steven Brill Entertainment Weekly, a handful of original cast members of the movie series will be making their way onto our television screens!
“It starts with a fun encounter Coach Bombay [Emilio Estevez] has with Fulton — they have an interesting run-in on the street reminiscent of ways they used to meet each other back in the early days,” creator Steven Brill tells EW. “This chance meeting between Bombay and Fulton leads to a bigger story.”

For episode 6: Spirit of the Ducks, the current coach, and the history of the Ducks are being honored. Joining the festivities will be Elden Henson as Fulton, Matt Doherty as Averman, Vinny La Russo as Adam Banks, Marguerite Moreau as Connie, Garret Henson as Guy, and Justin Wong as Kenny Wu! As of now, there’s no word about Joshua Jackson reprising his role of Charlie, but I get it. We can’t just throw everyone into the first season even if my 12-year-old heart wants it.
