Mighty Ducksfans rejoice!
On Wednesday, Disney+ released the first look of the highly-anticipated second season ofThe Mighty Ducks: Game Changers.
The trailer opens withJosh Duhamel’s new character Colin Cole, a former NHL player-turned-coach who runs an extreme summer hockey institute, as he welcomes a team of high-powered players to the program.
“All of you were invited here because you’re the best of the best,” he says before action-packed footage of heavy-hitting hockey plays is shown. “What I wanna know is, can you be better? Do you wanna be a legend?”
“We’re the Mighty Ducks,“Lauren Graham’s character Alex Morrow responds after Colin asks, “Who are you?”
As the team begins their time at the camp, it soon becomes clear that it’ll be a challenging experience for all, as Alex’s light-hearted, fun attitude quickly clashes with Colin’s intensity.
Along the way, the Ducks contemplate giving up on the program, with Alex telling her underdog team, “This is not summer camp, this is psycho.”
But she soon has a change of heart and begins to encourage them after realizing her team’s full potential. “You guys deserve to be here just as much as any of those kids. Ducks fly together,” she says.

The team ultimately decides to stick it out as Alex convinces Colin that the Ducks aren’t to be underestimated.
“These kids have something special, some kind of magic but sometimes you have to break the rules to get where you want to go,” she says, later telling Colin, “I just needed to let you know that i’m going to take you down.”
“I’m sorry, is that trash talk?” Colin asks, to which Alex responds, “I think so! … I thought it was pretty good.”
“Yeah, you’re not very good… it was a solid B, maybe,” Colin jokes back.
