00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:03,253
Previously on
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers...
2
00:00:03,253 --> 00:00:05,880
How's picking from the bottom
of the board working out?
3
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:08,675
I think you should give this team
a chance at least.
4
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:10,218
It's a really great group of kids.
5
00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:13,722
I like the blue streak in your hair.
It's badass.
6
00:00:14,347 --> 00:00:17,976
You and the bad boy?
Now that would be a nice rebellion.
7
00:00:17,976 --> 00:00:21,646
I wanna be a part of this team.
I wanna be a Duck.
8
00:00:21,646 --> 00:00:24,607
Their righties play as lefties,
and the lefties as righties.
9
00:00:24,607 --> 00:00:27,068
Cole thought it was the only way
they wouldn't humiliate us.
10
00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:30,780
The Evan I used to know
would never have done that.
11
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:33,533
You've reached
the front office of the Anaheim Ducks.
12
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:34,784
Please leave a message.
13
00:00:34,784 --> 00:00:39,122
Hi. I got your number from Gordon Bombay,
14
00:00:39,122 --> 00:00:42,000
and I'm calling because I need some help.
15
00:00:43,793 --> 00:00:49,257
Please get back to me
at your earliest convenience
16
00:00:49,257 --> 00:00:54,554
because my kids need help with their...
17
00:00:57,307 --> 00:00:59,851
Hey. Is dinner over?
18
00:01:00,268 --> 00:01:04,439
Well, dinner's at 7:00. It's now 8:30.
19
00:01:04,606 --> 00:01:06,649
And there's a guy over there
with a mop, so...
20
00:01:07,776 --> 00:01:09,235
Wow, this is a tough place.
21
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:13,865
You know, honestly it amazes me
how often you ignore the schedule,
22
00:01:13,865 --> 00:01:16,618
when your job here
is to keep the kids on schedule.
23
00:01:16,618 --> 00:01:19,329
All I heard was "amazing"
and then, like, a...
24
00:01:19,329 --> 00:01:22,540
Speaking of schedules, tomorrow is
a day off from tournament play,
25
00:01:22,540 --> 00:01:24,793
so the kids
can select their team captains.
26
00:01:24,793 --> 00:01:27,504
Yes, right. I can tell you
they won't be selecting someone
27
00:01:27,504 --> 00:01:30,590
who'd humiliate the other team
by playing with the opposite hand.
28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,176
- Are you really still on that?
- It was three hours ago.
29
00:01:33,468 --> 00:01:35,678
- If anybody should be upset here it's me.
- You?
30
00:01:35,678 --> 00:01:38,014
Yeah. EPIC promises, top-tier competition.
31
00:01:38,014 --> 00:01:41,851
And I'm sorry to say it, but the Ducks
aren't exactly delivering on that.
32
00:01:41,851 --> 00:01:45,730
We're on a slow ascent to greatness,
and there's still a lot of games left.
33
00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:48,608
And you were so sure
that you could help my son.
34
00:01:48,608 --> 00:01:51,194
He didn't even show up today.
He's actually doing worse.
35
00:01:51,194 --> 00:01:54,948
No, he's not. And I'm helping him with
a lot of things besides hockey skills,
36
00:01:54,948 --> 00:01:57,367
and he wants to be
back on the team. He told me.
37
00:01:57,367 --> 00:01:59,744
All I'm saying is you came at me
with a lot of stuff
38
00:01:59,744 --> 00:02:01,287
about how we do things wrong here.
39
00:02:01,287 --> 00:02:04,457
All right, well, I have a plan
that's gonna turn things around.
40
00:02:05,208 --> 00:02:08,169
A turn is coming. Many turns.
41
00:02:08,753 --> 00:02:10,130
Call me.
42
00:02:25,353 --> 00:02:28,606
Oh, look. Now he knows
how to use his right hand.
43
00:02:28,606 --> 00:02:30,984
Guys, I'm so sorry about
how the game went down.
44
00:02:30,984 --> 00:02:33,945
We don't need your sympathy, dude.
We can open our own door.
45
00:02:33,945 --> 00:02:36,823
- I'm not letting go.
- Well, we're not walking through.
46
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:38,324
Okay, fine.
47
00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:40,952
I was just about to walk through there.
48
00:02:40,952 --> 00:02:43,413
No, but you guys just said...
What do you want from me?
49
00:02:44,664 --> 00:02:47,292
Oh, it is on.
50
00:02:49,419 --> 00:02:51,087
Really? You had to throw that in there?
51
00:02:51,087 --> 00:02:53,673
Sorry. When it's on, it's on.
I don't control that.
52
00:02:53,673 --> 00:02:56,676
Anyways, you guys broke up.
It was mutual. What's the problem?
53
00:02:59,804 --> 00:03:01,097
- What's up guys?
- Thanks.
54
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:03,016
No problem.
55
00:03:05,393 --> 00:03:06,853
Awkward.
56
00:03:16,487 --> 00:03:17,530
Hey there.
57
00:03:18,656 --> 00:03:22,577
Sorry. Didn't deal with that
door standoff great. I...
58
00:03:23,161 --> 00:03:24,954
I don't handle conflict well.
59
00:03:24,954 --> 00:03:27,081
That's why I can't watch
those bake-off shows.
60
00:03:27,457 --> 00:03:29,375
- It's fine.
- You okay?
61
00:03:31,419 --> 00:03:32,545
This place is incredible.
62
00:03:32,545 --> 00:03:35,423
And I'm playing the best hockey
I've ever played in my life here.
63
00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:37,467
I should be happy, right?
64
00:03:38,384 --> 00:03:41,012
But no. No.
65
00:03:41,804 --> 00:03:43,097
Me and Sofi broke up.
66
00:03:43,097 --> 00:03:46,100
Things are weird between me
and the Ducks and... I'm not gonna lie.
67
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:48,102
When Jace walked in, I wanted to trip him.
68
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:52,273
I asked myself,
"Did I give up too much for hockey?"
69
00:03:52,273 --> 00:03:56,277
Yes. Sorry. It slipped. My bad. Um...
70
00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:59,572
But look, you're my best friend
and I got your back.
71
00:03:59,572 --> 00:04:01,366
Just not in front of them, all right?
72
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:05,286
That's a separate thing.
But spiritually, I got you. Big picture.
73
00:04:05,495 --> 00:04:07,038
Thanks. I guess.
74
00:04:08,164 --> 00:04:13,002
Okay. I may hit you with some hard truths,
what my moms call a thunder chat.
75
00:04:14,545 --> 00:04:16,965
'Cause it's gonna rain,
whether you like it or not.
76
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:21,844
Okay. You made these decisions.
This is on you.
77
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:25,098
Look, team Dominate's
probably gonna win the tournament.
78
00:04:25,598 --> 00:04:28,559
And then you're gonna get the chance
to play in front of scouts.
79
00:04:28,559 --> 00:04:30,770
And I'm gonna be the guy
sitting there saying,
80
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:34,440
"Damn. My best friend's
playing in front of scouts."
81
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:40,238
You've given up so much. As I see it,
your only option is to go all the way.
82
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:46,452
You're right. You're right.
Hockey's my girlfriend now.
83
00:04:46,869 --> 00:04:48,371
You can't date a sport.
84
00:04:49,998 --> 00:04:52,083
Being captain is more than just an honor.
85
00:04:52,083 --> 00:04:56,129
That C on your chest at
the summer showcase is like a spotlight.
86
00:04:57,755 --> 00:05:01,050
- And the scouts pay attention to that.
- Yeah, they do.
87
00:05:01,217 --> 00:05:03,553
Now, we do things
a little bit differently here at EPIC.
88
00:05:03,678 --> 00:05:07,807
We wait till we're a few games into
the season before we pick our captain.
89
00:05:07,807 --> 00:05:11,769
That way you can make an informed decision
on who you think your leader should be.
90
00:05:11,936 --> 00:05:13,688
Now, I don't want any of you leaving here
91
00:05:13,688 --> 00:05:16,399
until you've all agreed on
a unanimous pick.
92
00:05:17,275 --> 00:05:19,819
Okay? Okay, get to it.
93
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:24,240
Well, this should be easy.
94
00:05:24,699 --> 00:05:28,536
We all know it's gonna be me,
so we might as well just vote now.
95
00:05:28,536 --> 00:05:31,914
So then we'll have the rest of the day
just to chill.
96
00:05:34,542 --> 00:05:37,962
He makes a good point.
All in favor of Lawrence?
97
00:05:51,851 --> 00:05:52,894
What's up, dude?
98
00:05:54,562 --> 00:05:57,273
Actually, I don't think
the captain should be Lawrence.
99
00:06:00,318 --> 00:06:01,569
I think it should be me.
100
00:06:02,904 --> 00:06:07,825
Okay, guys. Look,
I know that yesterday was tough, okay?
101
00:06:07,825 --> 00:06:10,995
But today we get to pick a team captain.
This is so exciting.
102
00:06:10,995 --> 00:06:12,997
- Yay.
- Come on.
103
00:06:12,997 --> 00:06:16,626
Feels like nominating someone
to be the captain of the Titanic.
104
00:06:17,168 --> 00:06:19,921
- While it's sinking.
- Guys, come on.
105
00:06:20,171 --> 00:06:24,884
This is a big moment.
When Evan left, we lost a leader.
106
00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:28,888
We became a rudderless ship.
But it's time.
107
00:06:28,888 --> 00:06:33,226
This is our chance to regroup.
We're gonna re-rudder and rally.
108
00:06:33,518 --> 00:06:37,313
With a strong captain to guide us,
the possibilities are endless.
109
00:06:38,189 --> 00:06:42,777
Koob.
Maybe you should be captain.
110
00:06:43,277 --> 00:06:47,198
Oh. No. No, no. Sorry. I did not mean
for that to come out so inspiring.
111
00:06:47,198 --> 00:06:50,368
I'm definitely not your guy. Um, carry on.
112
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:55,123
Maybe we can get Evan back.
Also who is Evan?
113
00:06:56,999 --> 00:06:59,127
Well, I think Sofi should do it.
114
00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:02,046
Okay, I think we're getting ahead
of ourselves here.
115
00:07:02,046 --> 00:07:04,257
We can't pick a captain, you know,
116
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:06,300
without getting
our heads in the game first.
117
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:10,388
It's up to us to turn this around.
No one else is gonna help us.
118
00:07:10,596 --> 00:07:13,933
- He's gonna help us.
- Except maybe that guy.
119
00:07:13,933 --> 00:07:15,977
All right, everybody.
Get your stuff together.
120
00:07:15,977 --> 00:07:18,896
We are going on an unsanctioned fieldtrip.
121
00:07:22,066 --> 00:07:23,526
All right, everybody. Ready?
122
00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:28,990
Alex?
123
00:07:30,324 --> 00:07:31,325
Oh.
124
00:07:32,034 --> 00:07:36,789
- Marni, hey. What are you doing here?
- Just getting in my steps.
125
00:07:36,789 --> 00:07:39,959
Ten thousand a day
keeps the low bone density at bay.
126
00:07:40,251 --> 00:07:44,088
What are you doing? Wait.
Are you leaving campus?
127
00:07:45,047 --> 00:07:46,048
No.
128
00:07:47,675 --> 00:07:50,261
I was just enjoying nature.
129
00:07:50,386 --> 00:07:51,387
Oh.
130
00:07:51,929 --> 00:07:53,556
Okay. I'll leave you to it.
131
00:08:00,062 --> 00:08:01,564
It kinda looks like you're leaving.
132
00:08:03,274 --> 00:08:04,317
No.
133
00:08:04,859 --> 00:08:07,612
- Hey, Coach. Could we stop for a boba?
- Uh, sure.
134
00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:12,074
- Maybe.
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
135
00:08:12,408 --> 00:08:15,995
No, no, no, no. Coach Cole
does not allow leaving the campus.
136
00:08:15,995 --> 00:08:20,166
- That is against the rules.
- It may be his rule but it's not mine.
137
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:22,835
And believe me,
Coach would support this.
138
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:26,088
We have an amazing opportunity today
to improve as a team,
139
00:08:26,214 --> 00:08:28,049
which is what he's always saying he wants.
140
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:33,221
So if you look at it that way, telling him
would actually be defying him.
141
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:39,769
- You're right. Uh, I don't know.
- Hey, Marni, these kids are hurting.
142
00:08:41,938 --> 00:08:44,857
Being a perennial underdog
really takes its toll.
143
00:08:46,275 --> 00:08:48,653
Haven't you ever felt
what it's like to be an underdog?
144
00:08:49,612 --> 00:08:50,780
Every day.
145
00:08:53,074 --> 00:08:57,245
You know what? Fine.
But I am terrible at keeping a secret.
146
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:59,372
Don't worry. He's not gonna ask.
147
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:02,959
And if he does, just tell him
we went on a long run.
148
00:09:03,501 --> 00:09:05,211
He already thinks we're slow and weak.
149
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:07,129
So he won't think twice
if we're gone all day.
150
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:09,257
Wait. All day? Where are you going?
151
00:09:10,132 --> 00:09:12,510
You just said you're not good
at keeping secrets.
152
00:09:13,469 --> 00:09:16,055
That's right. You are good at this.
153
00:09:17,306 --> 00:09:18,391
Thanks.
154
00:09:25,648 --> 00:09:28,609
Kids, I present to you, Honda Center.
155
00:09:30,319 --> 00:09:34,282
Also known as the home
of the Anaheim Ducks. Made it, baby.
156
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:35,408
Whoo!
157
00:09:44,208 --> 00:09:46,752
Pretty exciting, right?
This team was formed...
158
00:09:46,752 --> 00:09:51,299
This building was built because of
a group of kids just like you. Come on.
159
00:09:51,507 --> 00:09:52,883
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
160
00:09:53,009 --> 00:09:54,218
How did you pull this off?
161
00:09:54,218 --> 00:09:55,928
Well, back at the Ice Palace,
162
00:09:55,928 --> 00:09:58,097
Gordon Bombay gave me
a phone number to call
163
00:09:58,097 --> 00:09:59,599
in case we ran into trouble here,
164
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:02,226
a sort of "break glass
in case of emergency" thing.
165
00:10:02,518 --> 00:10:06,606
So hockey 911, today we are meeting
the head coach of the Anaheim Ducks.
166
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:08,899
You shut yourself up.
167
00:10:09,942 --> 00:10:10,985
You okay?
168
00:10:12,194 --> 00:10:15,239
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
- Let's go, guys.
169
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:23,205
Oh, my gosh.
170
00:10:32,423 --> 00:10:33,591
This is crazy.
171
00:10:34,842 --> 00:10:35,843
Look. The Ducks.
172
00:10:36,093 --> 00:10:39,847
There they are. Hi. I'm Gabe.
I think we spoke on the phone.
173
00:10:39,972 --> 00:10:40,973
Yeah.
174
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:44,560
I'm the assistant to the assistant
to the director of fan relations.
175
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:48,439
- Yeah, that's made up.
- He's a funny one. Yeah.
176
00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:51,776
Anyway, I hear you guys are Mighty Ducks.
177
00:10:52,151 --> 00:10:54,487
Yeah, that name
means something around here.
178
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:56,614
We're gonna give you
the first-class treatment.
179
00:10:56,614 --> 00:10:57,740
All right.
180
00:10:57,865 --> 00:11:00,326
Unfortunately,
that doesn't include meeting Coach.
181
00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:01,410
What?
182
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:04,455
- What?
- Yeah, I'm sorry.
183
00:11:07,958 --> 00:11:12,463
So, here's the thing. Last night there was
a big executive Anaheim Ducks dinner
184
00:11:12,463 --> 00:11:15,716
with a Michelin star chef
who didn't read the room.
185
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:17,343
Duck was served.
186
00:11:18,469 --> 00:11:21,639
Yeah, so Coach is in a little bit
of a PR crisis right now.
187
00:11:21,764 --> 00:11:26,560
My friend Gordon Bombay said
that you could do us this favor.
188
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:31,148
You don't get it. It was full duck.
Like, it was served with the head.
189
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:33,275
I didn't wanna say that
in front of the kids.
190
00:11:33,275 --> 00:11:36,487
Anyway, Coach feels terrible,
and he'd like to reschedule.
191
00:11:36,612 --> 00:11:38,906
Like, maybe next Thursday?
Does that work for you?
192
00:11:38,906 --> 00:11:42,284
We can't do any other day.
We're not even supposed to be here today.
193
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:45,413
I'm really sorry. But, uh...
194
00:11:45,413 --> 00:11:48,708
You know, we wouldn't want a Duck
to leave disappointed, though.
195
00:11:49,458 --> 00:11:56,006
So, we got some Anaheim Duck hats,
puck cakes.
196
00:11:56,257 --> 00:11:58,634
Some pens that are in the shape
of hockey sticks.
197
00:11:58,634 --> 00:12:01,971
They're a little uncomfortable
to write with. Those are all yours.
198
00:12:02,513 --> 00:12:06,183
Great meeting you guys.
Good luck. Quack, quack!
199
00:12:12,773 --> 00:12:15,234
I mean, what else can I tell you
about myself?
200
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:18,571
My shooting percentage is scary high.
201
00:12:19,071 --> 00:12:22,324
I could probably bench press
all of your parents.
202
00:12:22,867 --> 00:12:26,912
I saw Sidney Crosby at the airport once
and we gave each other the 'sup nod.
203
00:12:26,912 --> 00:12:27,997
He knew.
204
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:32,418
So, I mean, guys, it's a no-brainer.
205
00:12:34,211 --> 00:12:35,212
No-brainer maybe.
206
00:12:36,046 --> 00:12:40,468
But it was also a no-brainer for me
last year when I got cut from my old team.
207
00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:43,471
Then they begged
to have me back later.
208
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:48,350
It was also a no-brainer that the new team
that I started wouldn't win a single game.
209
00:12:49,477 --> 00:12:50,811
We made it to the state finals.
210
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:55,566
I mean, look, guys, I've been
facing adversity my entire hockey career.
211
00:12:55,941 --> 00:12:58,944
Only reason I'm still here is 'cause
I want it more than anyone else.
212
00:12:59,403 --> 00:13:01,906
Look, if we're basing our captain
off talent alone,
213
00:13:01,906 --> 00:13:04,366
I stand no chance against A.J.
I know that.
214
00:13:05,659 --> 00:13:07,828
He doesn't need any of us
for him to be great.
215
00:13:07,828 --> 00:13:09,622
He said it. He said it.
216
00:13:10,873 --> 00:13:14,251
But I can only succeed if we all succeed.
217
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:17,505
And that is what
I will bring to the table as captain.
218
00:13:18,130 --> 00:13:22,051
I will never stop fighting for all of you.
I promise.
219
00:13:23,886 --> 00:13:27,765
- Wow.
- Wow, what? No, there's no wow.
220
00:13:28,390 --> 00:13:31,560
He said I... He said it.
I was... I'm better. I'm better.
221
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:33,854
I'd be a better captain.
222
00:13:36,106 --> 00:13:37,107
All votes for Evan?
223
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:42,905
Oof. Looks like
we got ourselves a stalemate.
224
00:13:43,906 --> 00:13:48,619
- How are we gonna figure this out?
- Well, we gotta see who wants it more.
225
00:13:49,787 --> 00:13:51,539
How about an endurance competition?
226
00:13:52,289 --> 00:13:53,749
- I'm down.
- Let's go to the ice.
227
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:58,087
Or maybe we bring the ice to us.
228
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:04,093
All right, guys.
229
00:14:04,093 --> 00:14:07,763
Welcome to the ice bath challenge.
Test of will.
230
00:14:07,763 --> 00:14:11,600
Last man in the tub is captain.
Do both parties agree to the terms?
231
00:14:11,976 --> 00:14:14,353
- Agreed. Bring it.
- Let's go.
232
00:14:14,478 --> 00:14:16,981
Bro, it's no problem.
I got ice water in my veins.
233
00:14:33,163 --> 00:14:34,164
Yeah!
234
00:14:36,458 --> 00:14:40,880
- Anyone got a magazine and some candles?
- Yeah.
235
00:14:41,088 --> 00:14:42,214
This is lovely.
236
00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:44,550
- Sunglasses maybe?
- Sunscreen?
237
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:46,051
- I can start tanning.
- You got it.
238
00:14:48,971 --> 00:14:52,349
I'm sorry, guys.
I feel like I let you down once again.
239
00:14:52,349 --> 00:14:56,979
No, Coach. Don't say that. I mean,
look how close we are to the rink.
240
00:14:56,979 --> 00:14:59,815
That is pro ice, right there.
241
00:14:59,940 --> 00:15:02,026
Plus, we got these hats.
242
00:15:02,276 --> 00:15:07,072
I mean, you can't beat the hats,
I mean, they're one size fits most, baby.
243
00:15:07,072 --> 00:15:09,408
And I ate four puck cakes
so I'm pretty sure I'm fixed.
244
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:11,702
No. No, no. You know what?
245
00:15:11,702 --> 00:15:16,081
We did not come here for hats
and cupcakes. I'll be right back.
246
00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:21,462
- Think she's getting us keychains?
- Wait. Where's Jace?
247
00:15:34,808 --> 00:15:38,479
There you are.
I've been looking all over for you.
248
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:44,485
- What's wrong?
- I'm fine.
249
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:47,905
Stop saying you're fine.
What are you watching?
250
00:15:48,238 --> 00:15:51,450
Uh, it's just, uh, my tragic meltdown.
251
00:15:51,742 --> 00:15:54,703
- Is that the Honda Center?
- Yep. All happened right here.
252
00:15:55,996 --> 00:15:57,831
Last year's Summer Showcase.
253
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:02,920
Pro scouts, college scouts.
Biggest game I ever played in.
254
00:16:03,212 --> 00:16:07,174
- Whoa.
- Yeah. Tied game with 15 seconds left.
255
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:10,302
I tried to clear it out of the zone
but I whiffed.
256
00:16:11,303 --> 00:16:12,846
When I pulled back it just...
257
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:15,224
Oh, my God.
258
00:16:18,018 --> 00:16:19,645
You scored on your own goal.
259
00:16:20,646 --> 00:16:23,399
That's awful. I'm so sorry.
260
00:16:24,942 --> 00:16:26,610
Just gonna put that away.
261
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:34,118
I just cracked. You know, after all
those years, under all that pressure.
262
00:16:36,203 --> 00:16:38,455
- It's my dad.
- He's not your coach anymore.
263
00:16:39,373 --> 00:16:40,916
It's different with us.
264
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:44,336
Don't you think we should just
go back inside with everyone?
265
00:16:45,045 --> 00:16:48,257
I can't breathe in there.
There's too many bad memories.
266
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:54,805
Well, maybe we can make some good ones.
267
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:16,493
Here are team captain picks
for Focus, Hustle and Intention.
268
00:17:16,660 --> 00:17:19,371
- What about the Ducks?
- I have no knowledge of their whereabouts.
269
00:17:19,955 --> 00:17:22,332
I was just wondering
if they'd picked a captain.
270
00:17:22,499 --> 00:17:25,169
Right. Right. Um... Oh, boy.
271
00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:29,548
You know, someone may have heard
that they were taking a long run today.
272
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:31,717
It's just a great day for a run.
273
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:35,054
There's lots of cut grass
and there's a light wind.
274
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:37,723
- It's warm but it's not too warm.
- Marni, what is going on?
275
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:40,768
- Alex snuck off campus with them.
- What?
276
00:17:40,768 --> 00:17:42,770
I did what I could and I cannot be blamed.
277
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:47,441
- Kids can't leave EPIC. That's a rule.
- Maybe that's your rule.
278
00:17:47,983 --> 00:17:49,026
- What?
- Nothing.
279
00:17:49,026 --> 00:17:51,528
Something that Alex said,
the one that you're mad at.
280
00:17:51,528 --> 00:17:54,281
- What is she doing?
- I can't... Okay.
281
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,243
I can definitely tell you this.
She would not tell me.
282
00:18:00,037 --> 00:18:01,246
Okay, you can go.
283
00:18:01,580 --> 00:18:04,249
- Okay, I'll clean out my desk.
- Marni, you're not fired.
284
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:06,960
Thank you.
285
00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:09,963
Wow, that was a rollercoaster.
286
00:18:10,631 --> 00:18:12,216
Whoo! Ugh.
287
00:18:13,217 --> 00:18:15,385
I'm on it, sir. I'm trying.
288
00:18:17,054 --> 00:18:18,722
- Hey, Gabe.
- Alex.
289
00:18:18,847 --> 00:18:21,141
This is player and personnel only.
How'd you get here?
290
00:18:22,017 --> 00:18:24,186
Oh, people kept yelling and I kept going.
291
00:18:24,561 --> 00:18:26,355
I just don't know what to tell my kids.
292
00:18:26,355 --> 00:18:28,565
We're at this hockey camp,
we're getting crushed,
293
00:18:28,565 --> 00:18:30,234
and they really don't fit in.
294
00:18:30,234 --> 00:18:34,613
And I just don't know how to help them
and I was hoping something big,
295
00:18:34,905 --> 00:18:37,866
like getting to meet the real head coach
of the Ducks,
296
00:18:38,075 --> 00:18:40,327
would turn things around, but...
297
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:43,413
Look, I'm sorry.
I know it's not your problem. I just...
298
00:18:43,413 --> 00:18:45,624
I don't know what to do.
299
00:18:45,624 --> 00:18:50,587
Look, um, there's nothing I can do,
'cause I'm not a coach.
300
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:55,592
But I do know the Ducks.
Come in here real quick.
301
00:18:56,426 --> 00:18:59,012
So, I've been coming
to these games for forever.
302
00:18:59,304 --> 00:19:03,809
Ugh. I was a little bit of a misfit
growing up. You know, kind of a weirdo.
303
00:19:03,809 --> 00:19:05,978
I played the recorder
till I was a little too old.
304
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:08,522
So, there was that. But... Oh!
305
00:19:08,897 --> 00:19:11,733
When I found out
that the professional sports team
306
00:19:11,733 --> 00:19:14,570
that I loved was named after
a bunch of misfit kids,
307
00:19:15,070 --> 00:19:17,614
oh, it meant the world to me.
308
00:19:17,906 --> 00:19:20,784
You had Bash Brothers, who had no fear.
309
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,454
You had... Oh, this guy, he invented
a whole new way how to hit a hockey puck.
310
00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:28,542
Russ Tyler. Yep, just a kid in the stands.
He didn't play by the rules.
311
00:19:28,542 --> 00:19:29,960
So they bent the rules.
312
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,379
They let him take the puck
and put it on its side,
313
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:35,007
and the knuckle puck took flight.
314
00:19:36,258 --> 00:19:39,761
This puck right here, this is the puck
315
00:19:39,887 --> 00:19:42,681
that Russ scored with
in the Junior Goodwill Games.
316
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:45,767
Players touch it for luck.
every time they hit the ice.
317
00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:47,728
- Heard of the knuckle puck.
- No.
318
00:19:47,728 --> 00:19:49,563
- It's players only.
- Okay. Cool.
319
00:19:49,563 --> 00:19:53,609
Yeah. Anyway, long story short, they won.
320
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,821
And they won because they decided
to look at things differently.
321
00:19:58,155 --> 00:20:01,074
You know,
they kinda looked at things sideways.
322
00:20:01,408 --> 00:20:04,369
You know, being a Duck,
it was never about fitting in
323
00:20:04,369 --> 00:20:07,164
or trying to find
something big to help you.
324
00:20:07,664 --> 00:20:12,336
Try thinking small.
That's what the Ducks are all about.
325
00:20:13,378 --> 00:20:19,718
All you gotta do is just figure out
that weirdo awesome sideways
326
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:21,178
for each of those kids.
327
00:20:22,638 --> 00:20:26,099
Alex, you want the coach
of the Ducks to help you.
328
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:29,061
You are the coach of the Ducks.
329
00:20:38,153 --> 00:20:42,157
Someone call the coach
Come tell him to come notice
330
00:20:42,157 --> 00:20:43,242
Notice
331
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:45,953
- We've lost faith and we feel hopeless
- Hopeless
332
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:48,872
- Nick Ganz, they don't know the name
- Name
333
00:20:48,872 --> 00:20:51,792
- Mighty Ducks, we're gonna change the game
- I guess...
334
00:20:52,876 --> 00:20:54,920
- We still fly, though
- Fly, though
335
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,922
Matter of fact, hit them with a high note
336
00:20:58,048 --> 00:21:01,468
Yeah, we down like the V
but we fly for whatever
337
00:21:01,468 --> 00:21:04,388
Yeah, we're the Ducks
so we're flying together
338
00:21:04,972 --> 00:21:06,306
Eh, eh
339
00:21:06,473 --> 00:21:09,393
Sofi and Jace
I don't mean to diss them
340
00:21:09,393 --> 00:21:11,770
But they were there alone
Definitely kissing
341
00:21:12,896 --> 00:21:14,439
- What?
- Guys.
342
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:16,191
- Hey.
- Get your skates on.
343
00:21:16,191 --> 00:21:19,111
- I'll meet you on the ice.
- Okay. Let's go.
344
00:21:25,158 --> 00:21:26,368
This ain't nothing.
345
00:21:27,327 --> 00:21:29,663
- Nothing.
- This is insane.
346
00:21:29,871 --> 00:21:33,417
Yeah, this is nuts.
But I'm not giving up. Ever.
347
00:21:33,417 --> 00:21:35,669
I've sacrificed too much this summer,
348
00:21:35,877 --> 00:21:38,255
and, man, I'm not letting
that sacrifice go to waste.
349
00:21:39,214 --> 00:21:41,133
This is stupid.
350
00:21:41,675 --> 00:21:44,636
Yeah! Yeah!
351
00:21:55,897 --> 00:21:58,275
Let's go! Yeah!
352
00:22:00,444 --> 00:22:03,238
Can anybody tell me what this is?
353
00:22:04,406 --> 00:22:05,407
Uh...
354
00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:08,744
- A hockey puck?
- This is a knuckle puck.
355
00:22:09,745 --> 00:22:11,163
- Knuckle puck?
- That's right.
356
00:22:11,747 --> 00:22:13,665
Somebody reminded me that
the original Ducks
357
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:15,417
were challenged just like you guys
358
00:22:15,417 --> 00:22:18,045
by teams that were supposed to be
better than them.
359
00:22:18,045 --> 00:22:21,006
So they had to look at the game sideways.
360
00:22:39,816 --> 00:22:42,778
It was everywhere and nowhere.
361
00:22:42,944 --> 00:22:44,738
Whoa!
362
00:22:46,281 --> 00:22:47,949
I can't believe that actually worked.
363
00:22:47,949 --> 00:22:53,789
So, today, I want each of you
to find your inner knuckle puck.
364
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:57,459
- Who's ready to change things up?
- Whoo! Come on!
365
00:22:58,710 --> 00:23:02,964
Okay, Fries, you've said that your brother
likes to use you as target practice.
366
00:23:02,964 --> 00:23:06,760
We're gonna turn that into your advantage.
All right. Fire away.
367
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:07,844
Fire away?
368
00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:13,600
It went in.
369
00:23:14,935 --> 00:23:17,854
- Score! Go for it!
- Keep them coming.
370
00:23:18,146 --> 00:23:21,441
Gertie, Sam,
the two of you are fearless.
371
00:23:21,441 --> 00:23:23,819
While the old Ducks had the Bash Brothers,
372
00:23:23,819 --> 00:23:27,322
I would like to propose that
you guys are the Smash Siblings.
373
00:23:27,739 --> 00:23:30,659
Gertie, you go that way.
Sam, circle around that way.
374
00:23:30,659 --> 00:23:33,829
Meet in the middle, make a sandwich,
take them down. Go.
375
00:23:38,542 --> 00:23:39,835
Yeah. I mean, yeah.
376
00:23:41,461 --> 00:23:42,712
Whoo!
377
00:23:45,590 --> 00:23:48,301
I call that the Duck. Quack, quack.
378
00:23:48,635 --> 00:23:51,012
Coach, I wanna score.
379
00:23:52,055 --> 00:23:56,059
Yeah, I mean, that's a sideways thing
for a goalie to do, right?
380
00:23:56,393 --> 00:23:58,979
Yes. Great idea.
381
00:23:58,979 --> 00:24:02,315
So where do we start?
I was thinking, uh...
382
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:07,404
They'll never see you coming.
383
00:24:08,363 --> 00:24:11,283
Sofi, you're our sharpshooter,
but I think we should mix it up.
384
00:24:11,283 --> 00:24:13,118
Put 'em on their heels.
Try a knuckle puck?
385
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:14,286
Let's do it.
386
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:16,455
Hit it.
387
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,673
Nice. Bring it in, guys. Bring it in.
388
00:24:30,927 --> 00:24:32,679
Great job. Really great work.
389
00:24:33,013 --> 00:24:36,933
Do you think we are ready to go back
and kick some EPIC butt?
390
00:24:38,185 --> 00:24:39,769
- Yes, we are!
- Wait, wait. Uh...
391
00:24:40,187 --> 00:24:42,355
We still need to pick a captain.
392
00:24:43,273 --> 00:24:44,274
I think it's easy.
393
00:24:50,113 --> 00:24:51,114
I nominate Jace.
394
00:24:51,239 --> 00:24:52,240
Ha!
395
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,368
Jace? No, I didn't mean it like that.
I mean...
396
00:24:55,368 --> 00:24:58,663
No, I totally get it.
I mean, I don't understand either.
397
00:24:58,663 --> 00:25:01,541
The captain should be the one
who loves the game more than anyone.
398
00:25:01,541 --> 00:25:04,628
Yeah. You've seen me on the ice.
I'm a mess out here.
399
00:25:04,628 --> 00:25:06,129
But you're out here.
400
00:25:06,463 --> 00:25:08,965
It took a lot of guts
to step back out on this ice.
401
00:25:09,382 --> 00:25:12,010
You know what happened to Jace
at the Summer Showcase, right?
402
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:13,803
It happened right here.
403
00:25:15,931 --> 00:25:18,975
Life threw you a knuckle puck.
Yet here you are.
404
00:25:19,726 --> 00:25:22,062
It's obvious to me
how much you love this game.
405
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:23,355
Yeah, but...
406
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:30,487
I second Jace for captain.
407
00:25:36,034 --> 00:25:37,035
I agree.
408
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:41,957
I agree.
409
00:25:46,378 --> 00:25:47,963
Everyone, hands in. Whoo!
410
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:50,840
Ducks on three. One, two, three!
411
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,925
Ducks!
412
00:25:54,511 --> 00:25:58,515
Hey. I found some friends
who said they'd scrimmage with you.
413
00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:05,730
- That's the real Anaheim Ducks!
- How cute. Mini Ducks.
414
00:26:05,730 --> 00:26:07,732
- Let's see what you got.
- No way!
415
00:26:07,899 --> 00:26:09,150
- Oh, my God!
- Let's go!
416
00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:16,783
Yeah!
417
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:24,249
Nice!
418
00:26:34,634 --> 00:26:35,677
Yeah!
419
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:40,599
Yeah!
420
00:26:46,605 --> 00:26:47,606
Whoo!
421
00:26:59,576 --> 00:27:00,577
Thanks, man.
422
00:27:15,425 --> 00:27:20,430
Hey, Morrow. You took the kids off campus?
You know, we have rules here for a reason.
423
00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:24,225
There are liability issues. Apparently,
you don't think these rules apply to you.
424
00:27:24,225 --> 00:27:26,686
- Did you even pick a captain today?
- Mmm-hmm.
425
00:27:26,686 --> 00:27:28,229
Yeah? Who is it?
426
00:27:28,521 --> 00:27:30,607
- It's Jace.
- What?
427
00:27:30,857 --> 00:27:34,027
Sometimes you have to break the rules
to get where you wanna go.
428
00:27:35,487 --> 00:27:36,946
That was awesome.
429
00:27:36,946 --> 00:27:39,783
- Hoping you'll be the real Ducks one day.
- Yeah.
430
00:27:42,285 --> 00:27:45,372
Look at him. I can't believe it.
