Line 10:
In the third movie (released 1996), the Ducks are accepted scholarships to the famed Eden Hall Academy, the high school Bombay attended. They also get a new coach in the form of Ted Orion. Orion irritates Captain Charlie Conway with his less-lenient teaching methods ([[So Last Season|"Your little duck tricks won't work anymore!"]] Orion remarks), switching of the teammates' positions, and by renaming them the Warriors. The team also faces adversity from the varsity team, as the former Ducks were accepted into the Academy instead of their younger siblings. After Conway becomes more accepting of his new coach following some self-reflection and a pep talk by Bombay, Orion also softens up a little, and re-renames the team the Ducks, and the stage is set for a game against the varsity team.

{{tropelist}}
* [[And This Is For]]: A heartwarming example in D3. When the Ducks finally take back their Jerseys and prepare to fight the Varsity Warriors in the finals, they touch the ice as a tribute to their {{spoiler| late}} friend Hans who was Norwegian.
{{quote| '''Charlie Conway:''' This is for Hans.}}
* [[Accidental Athlete]]: Fulton, the guy can't even skate when he first becomes a duck.
* [[Advertised Extra]]: Emilio Estevez gets top billing in the third movie, but Bombay barely appears at all.
Line 16 ⟶ 18:
* [[Attack Pattern Alpha]]: The Flying V. [[Running Gag|Used so much]] that [[So Last Season|opponents catch on]].
* [[Bash Brothers]]: Dean and Fulton are explicitly called "The Bash Brothers."
** When Ken Wu stands up to an [[Took A Level In Badass|Iceland team member and hockey fights him]], thanks to a little teaching from Russ and his friends; Fulton and Dean cheer and dub him a Bash Brother also, which in turn has the announcer call him [[Sixth Ranger|"The Third Bash Brother"]]. This sticks in the 3rd movie too.
* [[Big Game]]
* [[Broken Aesop]]: The movie sort of blows its "Have fun and don't take youth sports too seriously" moral when Gordon [[Rules Lawyer|Rules Lawyers]] away the Hawks' best player (jerking around an 11-year-old) just to get back at his old coach.
** The other Aesop, "it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it only matters if you tried hard and had fun," is kind of broken with the way {{spoiler|the Ducks always win in the end}}.
* [[Brother Chuck]]: Some of the players from the first movie are suddenly gone with no explanation in the sequels. It's particularly noteworthy in the case of one of the players - Jesse's brother.
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: In D3 when Dean Portman returns, he tries to be friendly to Cole from one enforcer to another. Cole brushes him off and tries to single him out and check him during the next play. Dean just [[Slasher Smile|grins at him]] and [[Evil Laugh|laughs]] as Cole charges towards him before bending down and tossing Cole into the boards. According to Dean himself [[I Am Not Left-Handed|he was just getting started.]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Adam Banks. Injured in the first two movies and {{spoiler|isolated from his friends in the third}}. Sorry, cake eater!
* [[The Casanova]]: Luis Mendoza
Line 56 ⟶ 60:
* [[Meaningful Funeral]]: {{spoiler|Hans' death is the turning point in D3.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Adam '''Banks'''. He's rich.
** Same could be said about Ted Orion. His last name Orion is the name of a Greek Warrior and huntsman that Zeus placed among the stars as a Constellation. [[Papa Wolf|He is fiercely protective of his team]] and tries to train them like Warriors and he also was formerly of the Hockey Team, Minnesota (Now Dallas) North Stars.
* [[Miracle Rally]]
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: Emilio Estevez agreed to reprise his role in the third film in exchange for a directorial job he had been angling for.
