Documentary: The Mighty Ducks and how they came to be
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING
Summary: What if someone made a documentary on the ducks? Interviewing all of the players and asking them about the games and the people. Here's my idea of how it would go.
Authors Notes: This had been in my head for the longest time, so I just had to write it. So here it is.
Chapter 1 The Movie Part 1 of 3Wayne Gretsky: The Ducks. People all over the world now know who they are. One heck of a junior hockey team, a group of kids who can play, and won the gold. But how did they get that far? How did they get scholarships to one of the most honored schools in the country? This will tell us how it all started.
They were a peewee team without a hope. They couldn't even skate 2 feet without falling, then having the rest of the team fall over them.
He had played hockey for as long as he could remember, he played for the Hawks, the top peewee team in Minnesota. He was called to take a penalty shot, he could win the game with this shot.
Gordon Bombay: I was going in, I had the goalie faked out of his pads, and then-
Charlie Conway: Our favorite coach CHOAKED!
All of the ducks are sitting around in a room, with a reporter and a camera, along with Coach Bombay and Coach Orion.
Wayne Gretsky: He quit hockey, and took up law, still going for the W. But when he got another DUI, and was sentenced to community service, he became the new coach for the District 5 hockey team. He hated hockey and he didn't like kids. He even told them that when he first met them.
David Averman: And he ended up with us. We sucked. Our idea of a close game was losing 5-0, we never even scored a goal.
Charlie: When he drove his limo onto the ice, we all though he was a drug dealer. So, Jesse went up to him, with all of us behind him, told him that if he didn't leave that we were gonna use his eyeballs as hockey pucks, and then Coach Bombay pulled out the roaster, we of course though he was pulling out a gun or something.
Greg Golberg: He downed an entire bottle of Tylenol during our first game. The Hawks killed us.
Charlie: Ya Banksie, my back still hurts from when you hit me into the boards.
Adam Banks: Oh ya, umm, I'm sorry.
Charlie: No your not.
Banks: Your right.
Averman: After that, we practiced diving. We were that bad.
Charlie: And forget our moto at the time.
Charlie, Guy, Connie, Averman, and Goldberg: Take the fall, act hurt, get indigent.
Averman: We almost got disqualified because of all the diving we did.
Guy: After that, we were able to get real equipment. Then we went back and relearned all of the basics.
Connie: Who can forget those eggs?
Bombay: I cant. It was my idea. Soft hands, concentration, not strength. I ended up with egg yoke all over me.
Charlie: Sorry bout that, but that sweater! I was helping you out!
Bombay: Funny
Goldberg: Then they were nice enough to assault me with pucks.
Bombay: We tied him to the goalposts, because he was scared of the puck flying at him, then I lined everyone up and we shot every puck we had at him. It was fun.
Charlie: Then we got Fulton. Coach finally got him to do it after Fulton accidentally broke two of Coaches car windows. We had to teach him how to skate, and what better place, than skating around the mall.
Fulton: I crashed into about 5 people in that mall. I am surprised I didn't break something.
Connie: The next game was against the Cardinals, and when we finally scored the first goal ever, we went crazy. To us, it felt like we had just won a national championship or something. We ended up tying that game.
Averman: We had a nice little falling out the next game and forfeited, only to get back together later by Quacking at our school principal.
Charlie: The next game was Adam's first as a Duck, not a hawk.
Adam: When I walked into the locker room, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me. Everyone hated me, I was still an enemy. But after I scored a goal, they were at least a little nicer to me, except Jesse. It took a while with him.
Fulton: We won the game though.
Charlie: Ya, then we went crazy playing on the North Star's ice. Then coach took us to the game that night. It was crazy. Fun, but crazy. We played the Hornets next. That game was a little ruff, but we won 5-3.
Adam: Next was the Cardinals again. We won that one 4-2, and we went crazy, we were going to the championship, where we would play the Hawks. And for me, it was like I was starting to play with the Ducks again. I was in between the two, the Ducks didn't know if I could be trusted, and the Hawks hated me. Jesse really didn't trust me. At the beginning of the game, he told me not to forget what side I was on. That was a weird game to play.
Charlie: They were after him from the start. They scored once. Then they scored again. Then Goldberg saved one. Then they scored again. Banks went in and scored, but McGill pushed him from behind, and Adam hit the post. He was out. The first thing he asked when he woke up was if it went in. Jesse finally seemed to trust him after that, as he was rolled away on the stretcher, he told us to kick some Hawk butt.
Fulton: The game went on and I went out on the ice. We need a goal, so Jesse cleared the way and I was able to shoot one in. Then the Hawks scored again. Then we had one cool play. We had Tammy go up to the Hawks net and start spinning. Her brother Tommy told her when to stop and passed her the puck before the goalie could get back into the net. McGill then took Tammy out as she was going back to the bench, so I went over to the Hawks bench, threw him over and pretty much picked a fight with the entire team. I got kicked out of the game, but oh well.
Guy: Then the Oreo line took the ice. That was Jesse, me, and Terry. The birth of the flying V was next. Jesse tied the game for us. The Charlie got to take a penalty shot with no time left on the clock.
Charlie: Everyone chanted my name, I was extremely nervous. Talk about pressure. No one cared if we won or lost, we were just happy we made it this far. But we still wanted to win. I circled around the puck to calm down a bit, then headed toward the goal. I triple deaked, faked the goalie out, shot, it hit the post and went in. After that, we went absolutely crazy.
Goldberg: We won the State Championship.
Averman: We sucked when we started, then we ended up winning it all.
Charlie: After that, we saw Coach off as he went to go and try out for the minors.
Bombay: I shook all of their hands, each giving me some small bit of advice, Fulton giving me the exact opposite of what I gave him, remember, strength, not concentration. Then I got on the bus, told them I would be back next year, we had a title to defend, the rode off out of sight.
Wayne: Well, everyone, stay tuned, for the second part of this story will be coming soon. The tale of the Ducks. Brought to you only by me, and the director of this documentary, Icebox. Join the Ducks as they tell us about the Junior Goodwill Games. Learn it from their own words, and their own experiences as some leave, and some join in one incredible tale of Ducks, and how to fly together through anything. That's all for tonight. Tune in next time. Till then, Good-bye, and good flying.
