Probably my favorite of the "Mighty Ducks" movies. And while I certainly don't think it's one of the greatest sequels ever made, it has elements that make for a good sequel - raised stakes (The Goodwill games), bigger villain (Iceland team and their coach), introducing new characters (the cowboy kid, "knucklepuck" kid). Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review: D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994) - 2 out of 4 stars
"Having led his rag-tag hockey team to surprise victory in THE MIGHTY DUCKS, Estevez now gets a chance to coach Team USA (incorporating his former Ducks) in the Junior Goodwill Games--and make a bundle of money as a potential celebrity. The kind of film that give the word "contrivance" a bad name: a Disney movie with mixed messages about competition, commercialism, puberty, and sportsmanship. Kids may like it anyway. Sports stars ranging from Wayne Gretsky to Kareem Abdul Jabbar make cameo appearances."

I reckon Disney will reboot this particular series in the future. Or maybe do one of those 'late arrival' sequels.

I liked this one and the original as a kid. They’re both fun kid’s sports movies.
