History Series / TheMightyDucksGameChangers

** Many of the Don't Bothers' games (and the original Ducks' games in the films) end with a goal as the clock hits zero. This is exceedingly rare in real life; in most tied games the last few seconds are run off the clock to send the game to overtime, and even when there is a goal, there are still usually one or two seconds remaining on the clock.

* {{Bookends}}: An example doubling as an IronicEcho. The opening shot of season one is in the Ducks' complex, with a Zamboni riding over the modern Ducks logo; the closing shot is [[spoiler:in the Ice Palace, with a Zamboni riding over the ''original'' Ducks logo.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: An example that doubles as a RewatchBonus; this exchange after the Don't Bothers first identify themselves as such:

* ADayInTheLimelight: While Evan, Nick, and Sofi tend to get the most focus, the supporting Don't Bothers do get some time to shine in a few B-plots:
** Episode 4 has Koob attend Evan and Nick's sleepover and he learns how to come out of his shell and have fun without screen devices.
** Episode 5 focuses on Maya and Lauren, who have a falling out but reconcile before the end of the episode.
** Episode 7 has a light focus on Sam, who has lost his desire to "be crazy" and feel enthusiastic about the team after Evan's betrayal.
** Episode 8 focuses on Logan, who wants to become a better hockey player and find stability in his life after his mom's departure. It also has a light focus on Nick, who becomes jealous of Logan because Nick is insecure about his athletic inabilities.

''The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers'' is a 2021 Sports Drama SequelSeries airing on Creator/DisneyPlus, continuing the story of the Film/TheMightyDucks franchise.

* AgeGapRomance: They're not an OfficialCouple yet, but Bombay and Alex are clearly into each other. However, a FreezeFrameBonus reveals that Bombay was born in 1963, making him close to 60 in the series. Alex's age is never specified, but being that she dropped out of law school when she became pregnant, she seems to be anywhere from late thirties to mid-forties.

** When Evan gets cut, Alex lays into the ''entire'' Ducks culture for being insane, expensive, and controlling at center ice. Naturally, [[RealityEnsues she has to wobble her way back to the bench, and becomes a viral embarrassment for Evan at school]].

** Logan's lacrosse style goal is a real, albiet rare, scoring technique.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: As per franchise tradition: the team the Morrows put together is comprised of a kid too small to hack it on the Ducks, an injured sniper, a daredevil skateboarder, a popular girl, a geeky nihilist, a podcaster, and a kid who can't even skate, all coached by someone who's never even played.

** Sofi leaves the antagonistic team to join the "Good guys", much like Adam did in the first.
** Evan and Charlie share many traits: Both are one of the best players on their teams, are captains (at least at some point) and are raised by single mothers (whom Bombay is attracted to). Possibly {{Lampshaded}} when Evan [[spoiler:wears a vintage Conway Ducks jersey in the second Don't Bothers/Ducks game]].

** A sibling pair (the Czech brothers) joins the team mid-season, just as the Duncans did in the first film.

** Sofi leaves the antagonistic team to join the "Good guys", much like Adam did in the first movie.

** Exaggerated with the Don’t Bothers’ general plot: [[spoiler:They start as a team with almost no hockey experience and equipment; ten weeks later, they make it to the state finals.]]

** In their first game a team who can barely stay upright on the ice and has little hockey experience (and no "real" practices), six skaters, and a goalie who never moves, ''only'' [[spoiler:gives up 12 goals.]]
