The New York Times
The film is remarkably oblivious to the fact that if the team weren't hell-bent on a championship, young moviegoers would be significantly less interested in its adventures.

The Mighty Ducks
A self-centered lawyer (Emilio Estevez) is sentenced to community service coaching a rag tag youth ice hockey team in the Disney family comedy. The film was a surprise hit and led to two sequels, an animated series and an actual NHL franchise (originally owned by the Walt Disney Company).

Roger Ebert
It must be said that this movie is sweet and innocent, and that at a certain level it might appeal to younger kids. I doubt if its ambitions reach much beyond that.
