In honour of the 18-year anniversary of Anaheim being awarded an NHL team, Rachael analyzes one of the most beloved hockey films of all-time: "The Mighty Ducks". The film was not well-reviewed when it was first released, but has since become a cult-classic, and a widely successful media franchise for Disney, spawning two sequels, a television show, and a National Hockey League team (the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, now known as the Anaheim Ducks). "The Mighty Ducks" stars Emilio Estevez as Gordon Bombay, a cocky lawyer, who is ordered to coach a ragtag peewee hockey team in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as part of his community service for a DUI. The film also stars a young, unknown Joshua Jackson as Charlie Conway, one of the hockey players on the Ducks.
