Season 1 Review: Each of the opening three episodes conclude with their own little grace notes, neat bows on a new development that, again, in a multitude of other contexts would come across as treacly. By fully embracing the strengths of the show and its franchise predecessors, “Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” has already earned those moments with breakaway speed. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Game Changers isn't epic enough to serve as a tentpole series for Disney+, but it is the sort of solid entry that helps establish the service as not just the house that Baby Yoda built, but rather the home of good clean fun, for parents and kids alike. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Because it’s a series, “Game Changers” has more layers than a film. While Alex initially insists they just play for fun, by the end of episode two Evan says losing every game isn’t fun, ensuring this series will have some smarts to accompany its big heart. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Game Changers is a wholesome entry into the Mighty Ducks canon that maintains the ’90s-style earnestness of the original trilogy. Saccharine and oftentimes precocious, yes, but with more competency and heart than, say, Fuller House. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The little team that could is a timeless tale, and though Netflix‘s “Cobra Kai” does a better job at breathing new life into a decades-old story, “Game Changers” is a smooth skate for those already invested in its world of misfits on ice. Read full review

Season 1 Review: [Cobra Kai] subverted the source material and delivered a moving meditation on growing older. Game Changers, by contrast, is all about reinforcing the Disney message about being the best version of yourself. ... Estevez is agreeably cantankerous as a grumpy old (ish) man hauled onto the ice once more and against his better judgement. Mighty Ducks viewers may well empathise with his reluctance as they, too, are dragged back to a franchise that perhaps isn’t all it’s quacked up to be. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Graham is charming as always even with thin material, and it’s not hard to see that Game Changers is just slow-playing Gordon’s emergence, in the same way that Cobra Kai treated Daniel LaRusso as a minor character when it began. These early episodes are pleasant if a bit dull. Read full review

Must watch, this is a feel good series . Intriguing from the start. It’s classic feel to the original movie & general all age appealing. I was blown away by story line and how from adult to children can learn and grow from this watch.
