Jake Gyllenhaal, who was unknown at the time, auditioned for the role of Charlie Conway, but his parents wouldn't let him do the movie so the producers ended up casting Joshua Jackson.
Charlie Sheen was offered the role of Gordon Bombay but turned it down and later on his brother, Emilio Estevez, took the role.
The original premise of Mighty Ducks was much darker with very little comedy about an ex-NHL player turned alcoholic who seeks revenge on his old coach by coaching opposite him. The main idea stayed when Disney bought the rights to the movie, but some elements were changed (such as Bombay is now a lawyer, who never played in the NHL, who must do community service for a DUI), including much more emphasis on comedy and downplaying most of the adult themes.
Leonardo DiCaprio auditioned for the part of Charlie Conway but lost out to Joshua Jackson. In similar fashion, Juliette Lewis tried out for the part of Connie, but lost out to Marguerite Moreau.
When the Anaheim Mighty Ducks were added as an expansion team to the National Hockey League, they were named after the movie because the team was owned by Disney. However, prior to the 2005-06 NHL season, the Ducks dropped "Mighty" from their name and are now known as the "Anaheim Ducks."
"[the kids aren't thrilled about being named the Ducks] Gordon Bombay: I didn't have a choice, we're being sponsored. Les Averman: By who, Donald and Daisy? Gordon Bombay: Hey, you don't wanna be Ducks? You'd rather be District Five? Some stupid number? Peter Mark: Better than some stupid animal. Gordon Bombay: I'll have you know, Peter, that the Duck is one of the most noble, agile and intelligent creatures in the animal kingdom. Connie Moreau: But they're wimpy! Guy Germaine: They don't even have teeth. Gordon Bombay: Neither do hockey players. Have you guys ever seen a flock of ducks flying in perfect formation? It's beautiful. Pretty awesome the way they all stick together. Ducks never say die. Ever seen a duck fight? No way. Why? Because the other animals are afraid. They know that if they mess with one duck, they gotta deal with the whole flock. I'm proud to be a Duck, and I'd be proud to fly with any one of you. So how about it? Who's a Duck? Fulton Reed: [pause] I'll be a duck. Charlie Conway: Yeah, me too."
"Dave Karp: [after blocking a shot with his head knocks him senseless] I don't want to go to school today, Mom. Gordon Bombay: Karp, how many fingers am I holding up? Peter Mark: He wouldn't know that, anyway. Gordon Bombay: Shut up, Peter."
