D3: The Mighty Ducks is the third film in The Mighty Ducks trilogy. It was produced by Walt Disney Pictures, distributed by Buena Vista Distribution, and originally released to movie theaters on October 4, 1996. The film opens with team captain Charlie Conway and his teammates being awarded junior varsity hockey scholarships to Eden Hall Academy, a prestigious prep school that Bombay attended. The Ducks experience many early struggles: playing in the new defensive style of coach and former NHL player Ted Orion , Orion abandoning several Duck traditions, and off-ice conflicts with the... Varsity team, culminating in a tie in an exhibition game, after having a huge lead. Eventually, when Coach Orion restricts the old Ducks uniform, Charlie decides to leave the team. Fulton follows, but later considers quitting hockey and reverting to his old ways before joining the Ducks in the first film. But even later, he returns.
