While there have been rumours for quite some time, Disney has finally announced details for the return of The Mighty Ducks. Emilio Estevez will be returning as coach Gordon Bombay and the series will pick up right where the movies left off, with Lauren Graham — of Gilmore Girls fame — joining the franchise.

The new series is set in present-day Minnesota, where the Mighty Ducks have evolved from scrappy underdogs to an ultra-competitive youth hockey powerhouse," writes TV Guide's Kelly Connolly.

"Graham is set to star as hockey mom Alex. When her 12-year-old son, Evan, is unceremoniously cut from the Ducks, the two set out to put together their own team of misfits and, in the words of the show's official description, 'challenge the cutthroat, win-at-all-costs culture of competitive youth sports.'"

The show is titled The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers.' As of right now, no specific date has been given for its release.
