It was launched on September 28 Disney+Season 2 of the original Les Petits Champions: Game Changers series is synonymous with change for the young members of the Mighty Ducks team. After a hectic first year under the tutelage of Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) and Alex Morrow, Evan and his teammates are invited to an intensive training camp that will test their limits!

This program, designed for the cream of junior hockey, is led by coach Colin Cole, both impressive and demanding, and stars Josh Duhamel (Las Vegas, Transformers). A big treat for the actor, who was especially happy to work with Lauren Graham, who he’s from “fan of life”.

“I love this series. I really liked the movies at the time in the 90s and I was really pleasantly surprised by the first season, he says. I love playing this very intense hockey coach who demands excellence, and Alex wants to make sure the kids actually practice rather than become arrogant players.

Already in the middle of the first season, the theme of parental pressure on children in the world of sports returns in these new episodes. “What pressure do children put on themselves?” What pressure are they under? When is it time to let them fail or let them succeed? I don’t think there’s a real answer other than to think about this problem and approach it with kindness, as the series and the Disney films before it have done. “ Lauren Graham says.

This second season reunites Brady Noone, Maxwell Simkins, Swayam Bhatia, Luke Islam, Tegen Burns, De’Jon Watts and Naveen Paddock, the young talents Josh Duhamel loved working with.

“They’re really great kids, and I’m not just saying that for interviews, but they’re really talented, honest, kind, caring and supportive of each other. When I arrived, I did not expect to have such a good working relationship. It was beautiful to see these kids getting along so well and supporting each other!” he told us.
