Plot: A gigolo, a former professional athlete, a spoiled heiress, a champion female figure skater, a live band, and three desperate men are all brought together under the same roof, for a party thrown by a young, hot-shot, corporate attorney. The three desperate men are good people forced into crime by their own personal circumstances. Knowing that the heiress will be present, they crash the party and hold dozens of guests hostage. They demand ransom from the heiress' father, a powerful publishing magnate, warning him that if he goes to the police, he will have the blood of countless innocent victims on his hands. This being Los Angeles, of course, no one at the party is really "innocent". The former professional athlete and the gigolo are morally corrupt men whom circumstances force into heroic behavior. They courageously attempt to foil the kidnapers' plans and liberate the guests held hostage. Unfortunately, no one at the party turns out to be quite what they say, and everyone has their own unique agenda. It's a party no one will ever forget, with live music, catered food, a fully stocked bar, several felonies, and a host prepared to capitalize on any eventuality.

After being charged for drunk driving, the court orders him to coach a peewee hockey team, the worst in the league, Gordon is at first very reluctant. However, he eventually gains the respect of the kids and teaches them how to win, gaining a sponsor on the way and giving the team the name of The Ducks. In the finals, they face Gordon's old team, coached by Gordon's old coach, giving Gordon a chance to face old ghosts.

Quotes:

Coach Reilly: Why'd you turn against me, Gordon? For six years, I taughtcha how to skate, I taughtcha how to score, I taughtcha how to go for the "W". You could have been one of the greats! An' now look at yourself. You're not even a has-been. You're a never-was.

Casey Conway: Look, Mr. Zen Master, you may be in tune with the ice universe, but when it comes to my kid, "I just know" doesn't cut it!

Jesse: Yo dude! You obviously in the wrong hood. This is my dominion, and it's a drug free zone. You understand? Now I'm feelin' generous today. So I'm gonna let you get your sorry vanilla booty out of here before we be usin' your eyeballs as hockey pucks!

Goldberg: Be careful man, it almost hit me that time!::Charlie Conway: Goldberg, you're the goalie. It's supposed to hit you.::Goldberg: Does that sound stupid to anyone else?

Gordon Bombay: I hate kids. They're barely human.

Gordon Bombay: You think losing is funny?::Les Averman: Well, not at first, but once you get the hang of it.::Jesse: We're the ones out there gettin' our butts kicked.::Terry Hall: Yeah, it's not like you coach us or anything. At least we tried.

[Coach Bombay has taped Goldberg to the goal]::Goldberg: My mother is not gonna approve of this, Coach! She wants me to live to be Bar Mitzvah'd!::Gordon Bombay: This is your Bar Mitzvah, Goldberg. Today, you become a man.::Goldberg: No. I think you've got the ceremonies mixed up. This is more like a CIRCUMCISION.

Frank Huddy: [Gordon has defeated Frank at court] Well, you really stooped low this time, Gordon.::Gordon Bombay: I'm insulted by that, Frank, you have no idea how low I can stoop.::Frank Huddy: I don't mind losing, I'd just like to lose fairly.::Gordon Bombay: [flippantly] Losing fairly is still losing, Frank!::Frank Huddy: [incensed] That man belongs in jail!::Gordon Bombay: It was your job to put him there!

Gordon Bombay: Now here's the long and the short of it: I hate hockey and I don't like kids.::Peter Mark: What's this supposed to be, a pep talk?::Gordon Bombay: I'm sure this will be a real bonding experience. One day, maybe one of you will write a book about it in jail.

Adam Banks: Do me a favor. Kick some Hawk butt.
