This Mighty Ducks trivia quiz has 50 free questions with answers and covers the whole Disney trilogy and everything it hatched. It starts with the 1992 original - Gordon Bombay's drunk-driving arrest, the District 5 kids, Gerald Ducksworth, the Hawks and Charlie's triple deke - then skates through D2 (Team USA, the Bash Brothers, the knucklepuck and that shootout) and D3 (Eden Hall, the Warriors, Coach Orion and Goldberg's unlikely winner). Beyond the films there are questions on the cast (Emilio Estevez, Joshua Jackson, Kenan Thompson, Elden Henson), the 1996 animated series set on Puckworld, the Disney+ show Game Changers with Lauren Graham, and the real NHL franchise that Disney named after the movie: its first season, its rebrand as the Anaheim Ducks and its 2007 Stanley Cup. Roughly a third of the questions are easy warm-ups for anyone who grew up quacking; the rest climb toward jersey numbers, filming locations and cameos only a true Duck will know. Every answer has been checked against Wikipedia and the sources it cites, and each explanation adds one more thing worth knowing.

Q 01What was Gordon Bombay's job before a drunk-driving arrest landed him behind a Pee-Wee hockey bench?
Defense attorney
He had just won his 30th case and celebrated by drinking and driving; his boss got the sentence suspended in exchange for community service.
Q 02How many hours of community service was Bombay sentenced to serve coaching youth hockey?
500
The deal was brokered by his boss Gerald Ducksworth, who kept the case's disposition suspended on that condition.
Q 03Before they were the Ducks, what was the team called?
District 5
The team lacked equipment, skill and even a practice rink when Bombay met them, and were shut out year after year at the bottom of the league.
Q 04Charlie Conway wins the championship on a penalty shot using which move Bombay taught him?
The triple deke
It mirrors the exact situation Bombay faced as a boy in 1973, when he missed a decisive penalty shot for the Hawks and lost in overtime.
Q 05Emilio Estevez, who plays Bombay, is the older brother of which actor?
Charlie Sheen
Estevez kept the family's Spanish surname while his brother adopted the stage name Sheen, like their father Martin.
Q 06In which city was the original 1992 film shot?
Minneapolis
Principal photography ran from January to April 1992, and the story's Twin Cities setting stayed with the franchise through all three films.
Q 07In D2, Bombay coaches Team USA at which fictional international tournament?
The Junior Goodwill Games
The tournament was staged in Los Angeles, and the glamour of the city soon distracts Bombay from his players.
Q 08Which country does Team USA face in the D2 championship game?
Iceland
The filmmakers deliberately picked the tiny Nordic nation over Russia as the villains, and the final ends in a five-shot shootout.
Q 09Which street-hockey player joins Team USA in D2 and brings the 'knucklepuck' with him?
Russ Tyler
The knucklepuck tumbles end over end instead of spinning on its axis, which is what makes it so hard for a goalie to read.

The Flying V
Bombay had shown up late for that game, forcing Charlie to tell the referee that tutor Michelle McKay was the assistant coach.
Q 11Who makes the game-winning save in the D2 shootout after being subbed in for the final shot?
Julie Gaffney
She falls to the ice on the shot and the whole arena waits until she opens her glove and drops the puck.
Q 12In D3, the Ducks receive scholarships to which prestigious prep school?
Eden Hall Academy
The school's name was invented by mashing together the suburb of Eden Prairie with Cretin-Derham Hall and Saint Thomas Academy.
Q 13Who takes over as the Ducks' coach in D3?
Ted Orion
He was a former NHL player, and his strict defensive system so irked Charlie that he was stripped of the captaincy and briefly quit.
Q 21The original Mighty Ducks of Anaheim logo was built around what object?
A duck-billed goalie mask
Behind the mask sat two crossed sticks, a puck and a triangle; the mask style was inspired by Jacques Plante's old-school design.
Q 22Fulton Reed's fellow 'Bash Brother' in D2 and D3 is which enforcer from Chicago?

The Don't Bothers
Alex Morrow, played by Lauren Graham, knew nothing about hockey when she started coaching them.
Q 16The team was renamed 'the Ducks' in honor of whom?
His boss, Gerald Ducksworth
Ducksworth's law firm sponsored the new gear and ice time, though he later fired Bombay for refusing to drop a protest.

Ottawa Senators

The soundtrack bookends the film with Queen: another of the band's stadium anthems opens the track listing.
Q 24What is the name of the varsity team that bullies the Ducks at their new prep school in D3?
The Warriors
The stakes of the final JV-varsity game are the school's team name itself: a Ducks win means the school becomes the Mighty Ducks.
Q 25Who scores the lone goal in the D3 JV-versus-varsity showdown, with time expiring?
Greg Goldberg
The longtime goalie had been moved to defense, and Charlie draws the goalie before passing back to him for an open-net 1–0 winner.
