Cast members from the "The Mighty Ducks" movies will soon be on the ice together again.

Stars from the original three movies will be reuniting for the sixth episode of the upcoming Disney+ revival series, "The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers," according to Sydney Bucksbaum of EW. Actors Elden Henson (Fulton), Matt Doherty (Averman), Vinny La Russo (Adam Banks), Marguerite Moreau (Connie), Garret Henson (Guy), and Justin Wong (Kenny Wu) are all confirmed to appear in the episode alongside Emilio Estevez, who's reprising the role of coach Gordon Bombay.

"It starts with a fun encounter coach Bombay has with Fulton - they have an interesting run-in on the street reminiscent of ways they used to meet each other back in the early days," creator Steven Brill said. "This chance meeting between Bombay and Fulton leads to a bigger story."

In the reunion episode, the original cast will come together for a "Spirit of the Ducks" gala to honor the Mighty Ducks' current head coach and the history of the team. But as Estevez revealed, Bombay wasn't invited to the gala.

"Either the Ducks fell short or he fell short of expectations of where they'd be at this point in their lives," Estevez said. "The show is not without the Disney magic that has to exist so I think ultimately it will be satisfying.

"But it leans into reality a little bit more than one would expect, which excited me. That's really like life; something that looks like a curveball that you couldn't hit ends up being something that's a gift later on."
