Unlike the original films, where the jerseys were a gift from Jan and the Anaheim Ducks weren’t commented on, the jerseys are gifted to the team by the NHL franchise.

* HelicopterParents: Pretty much every kid's parent who stays in the Ducks program is '''The Agent'''; practically programming their kids lives in order to make sure they have every advantage possible, even cutting into how they eat and bringing pediatric psychologists to their practices.

* TookALevelInCynic: Gordon Bombay hates hockey now, seemingly having become disillusioned by the number of MeddlingParents trying to get their kids to the pros hijacking the sport from the coaches. He later admits to Alex he actually still loves the game, but after seeing what the Ducks program became, being forced out of his college coaching job, and struggling to make ends meet at the Ice Palace, he's reluctant to get involved again.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: As Gordon explains to Alex and Evan, Evan is right that Alex, while not as obsessed with hockey as the other Ducks parents, is still a [[MeddlingParents meddling parent]] who needs to stop trying to fix all of his problems. However, Evan in turn needs to realize she's doing it out of love and she's giving him a chance to continue playing hockey when the Duck program won't.

Ambiguously Brown wick cleaning. Characters are of the same ethnicity as the actors that play them.


* MoreDiverseSequel: The film trilogy did have a number of diverse characters, but was still mostly white, especially with the opposing teams. Although the most prominent characters – Evan, Alex and Bombay – are white, the Don't Bothers and their rivals are a fairly diverse cast; Stephanie and her two children are of mixed East Asian heritage; Sofi is South-Asian, Nick is Jewish (with two moms), Sam is Black, and Koob is AmbiguouslyBrown. Even three of the white Don't Bothers members, Logan, Tibor, and Havel, are foreign nationals.

* PutOnABus: Much like in the film series, some of the Don't Bothers from the first season don't quite make it to the second for reasons unknown. Lauren and Logan are now gone from the action, as are the barely-speaking Capek brothers. And, of course, there's Bombay...

** Both Nick and Sam's goals during the 'icebreaker' at the hockey camp would be disallowed in actual competition. Sam batted the puck in with his head, which violates a rule that a puck must be directed in using the stick if intentional, while Nick putting the puck on his stick would have been penalized for closing hand on puck. Justified, however, as this was a 'no rules', every player for themselves drill.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: ''Evil'' is too strong a word, but the one thing about the Ducks that hasn't changed since the '90's is that the team still accepts kids from all ethnic and racial backgrounds regardless of their gender. Sofi, a girl of South Asian descent, is one of the team stars.
