So I guess Gunner Stahl, after being mortified by losing the Goodwill games in D2, chooses to go to Eden Hall Academy and become the Varsity teams goalie, but due to unknown reasons, changes his name to scooter! haha
shareThe college team actually consists of the actors who played the Hawks & a few of the Iceland team from 1 & 2. They used a lot of the same actors in different roles in all 3 movies.
sharethe lawyer who lost to bombay in the first appears in the 2nd and plays a carnie in the third. also, the principal from the frist plays a teacher in the third. maybe they're not meant to be the same characters?!
shareMaybe it's a huge conspiracy and the Hawks and Team Iceland were in cahoots to thwart the entire success of the Ducks. Maybe after watching the Junior Goodwill Games on national TV, the Hawks (who were all watching the games together still stinging from their pee wee championship loss) phoned the Iceland coach, "The Dentist", with a master plan to enroll all of their players at Eden Hall.
Changes would have to made to the line up, of course, because who can trust Gunner Stahl as a forward after that travesty of a penalty shot. He was too fancy and went glove side, just as Bombay and Julie "the Cat" Gaffney anticipated. That's just the type of play that will take you out of the starting line up. I'm even surprised he ended up as a goalkeeper, maybe now he appreciates the predictability of fancy players.
