Quotes
Dean Buckley:
[to Coach Orion]
Ted. Ted. I know you're as disappointed in that tie as we are.
Coach Orion:
Actually, I'd have preferred a loss.
Dean Buckley:
You're kidding, right, Coach?
Coach Orion:
Well, you learn a hell of a lot more from losing than from winning.
Dean Buckley:
We don't have time for learning. We need to win. They could lose their scholarships.
Coach Orion:
You're kidding, right, Dean?

I'm not sure exactly why so many people think of the Mighty Ducks movies as silly and pointless. I was never good at sports, but I have always believed that, with proper coaching, any sport could teach children and teenagers about life. The third installment of this series, directed more toward teenagers than anyone else, really shows how teamwork and positive thinking can overcome obstacles and help them grow. I have seen D3 many times and yet as I recently bought the DVD and watched it again, I couldn't help but cheer for the Ducks.
