Most of them were rehashes though.
Luis is basically "Spazway" from the first movie. It was never said that Charlie was fast, but he would get on a breakaway, and mess it up.
Dwaynes Puck handling is a wasted opportunity. It never really comes up again, he is just a cowboy caricature.
Ken is basically Tammy and Tommy, but he is a better character.
Dean is probably the best addition. The team needed an enforcer. In the first movie it was Fulton off the ice, but on the ice he didn't know how to skate. So his evolution in this movie seems natural. But at the same time, the Knuckle puck is a rip off of Fultons Gimmick.
I never hear this talked about, but I think Julie was supposed to be based on Manon Rheaume. The first woman to play in an NHL game. She was also a goalie, and she made her debut in 1992, just a few years before this movie.
