(USA Today) -- and D3 will have you and your family cheering!|Coach Gordon Bombay and the Ducks are back in Minneapolis fresh from the victories at the Goodwill Games. They have much to celebrate when they find out they've been given scholarships to the prestigious Eden Hall Academy. Once in the hallowed halls of Eden, however, the Ducks, led by team captain Charlie Conway, lose some of their focus. They become the junior varsity of the Eden Hall Warriors, resist an aggressive new coach, and suffer indignities heaped upon them by the preppy varsity team who resent their coming to the school. Eventually the players bond with their coach and face a final test in an exciting showdown game against the varsity bullies. Even in the face of adversaries twice their size, the Duck spirit prevails. The College of St. Catherine, in St. Paul, Minnesota, doubled for the fictitious Eden Hall Academy. For the film, the crew also completely refurbished the Columbia Ice Arena in Anoka County.
