[edit] Plot Synopses

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Inspired by his own players, Bombay decides to try out in the minor leagues. After a career-ending injury to the knee, he is offered a chance to coach a team representing the United States in the Junior Goodwill Games. For this, he reunites his Ducks and introduces them to five new players from across the country (Luis, from Miami, Dwayne, from Texas, Julie, from Maine, Ken, from San Francisco, and Portman, from Chicago) to form Team USA. However, the lure of celebrity becomes a distraction to both Bombay and the players, and reality kicks in when they lose against Team Iceland in an embarrassing defeat. Frustrated, Bombay drives his players even harder, yet Team USA continues to suffer, until they come across a street hockey team who teaches them how to play like "the real Team USA." (Here, a new player emerges, Russ Tyler (Kenan Thompson), who earlier mocked Team USA during its matches). Bombay realizes that the most important thing is to have fun. After a change in attitude, the Ducks redeem themselves by working up the playoffs ladder to once again meet Team Iceland in the finals. This time Team USA proves to be a match for Iceland, but the game ends in a tie, resulting in a shootout, which the Ducks win.
