Coach Bombay and The Mighty Ducks are coming back and heading to Disney+!

Emilio Estevez will reprise his role as Gordon Bombay, coach for the local Minnesota youth hockey team in the 90s Disney hit. Twenty-five years later, the reboot series finds the Ducks are no longer the underdogs of the youth hockey scene, but now the team to beat. Twelve-year-old Alex (Brady Noon) is unexpectedly cut from the team prompting him and his mother, played by Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls, Parenthood), to form their own underdog team.

The new series will have a 10-episode run and will premiere sometime later this year.

Amanda is a mental health counselor by day and a nerd by night. She’s been fangirling since 1989 when she had so many New Kids On The Block posters in her bedroom that she ran out of wall space and had to put them on her ceiling. She finds people and stories fascinating and even went to film school years ago. The journey from film to Social Work is a long, depressing tale, but she came out the other side feeling inspired to help people. Now she’s living out that old Hollywood cliché. You know, the one where someone can’t contain their passion any longer and leaves a career in entertainment to pursue their dreams of becoming a therapist in the Midwest. She’s not a filmmaker anymore but she is a fan. Her favorite genres are sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes, and musicals. She loves Supernatural, New Kids On The Block (duh), and comes from a family of Star Trek nerds. She might also be a little obsessed with her cats.
