Charlie gives up his spot on the roster so Adam can play, cementing his position as the true team captain.Īt first, Iceland appears to be out to dominate Team USA again, but they manage to score one goal. Before the game, Adam's injury is healed and returns to Team USA's locker room, only to find they already have a full roster. To fill the open roster spot, Charlie recruits street hockey player, Russ Tyler, whose unique 'knucklepuck' (which rotates end over end toward its target as opposed to spinning about its centerline) secures USA's victory over Russia (who defeated Iceland earlier), advancing USA to the championship game for a rematch against Iceland. The renewed Bombay finally realizes Adam's wrist injury, benching him despite his complaints. Inspired by their coach's 'return', the players come back to win the game and advance to the next round. They play poorly, entering the third period tied, until Bombay shows up and apologizes for his behavior. During a match against Team Germany, Bombay fails to arrive on time, forcing Charlie to tell the referee that Michelle is actually 'Coach McKay'. However, Bombay continues to suffer until Jan, the brother of his mentor, Hans, personally visits him, and reminds him of how he used to love the game.

Eventually, the team's tutor, Michelle McKay, cancels their practice and confronts Bombay, while the players come across a street hockey team who teaches them how to play like 'the real Team USA'. Frustrated, Bombay drives his players even harder, but they begin to suffer, completely exhausted. Star center Adam Banks manages to score a goal but gets slashed in the wrist moments later.

Team USA plays badly, with Julie and Portman ejected from the game. Reality sets in when the team suffers an embarrassing 12-1 defeat at the hands of Team Iceland, coached by ex-NHL player Wolf 'The Dentist' Stansson, who is known for his tough reputation. Backup goaltender Julie asks Bombay for a chance to play, but he tells her to wait, as current goalie Greg Goldberg is on a hot streak. During this time, Fulton Reed and Dean Portman gain recognition for their enforcer skills, becoming known as the 'Bash Brothers'. Fortunately, easy victories come over Trinidad and Tobago and Italy in the double-elimination tournament. The lure of celebrity becomes a distraction to Bombay, who begins to neglect the team in exchange for a luxurious lifestyle. Team USA consists of many of the old Ducks, in addition to five new players with special talents. Bombay is then offered a chance to coach a team representing the United States in the Junior Goodwill Games. However, after a career-ending knee injury, he returns to Minneapolis. Former peewee hockey coach Gordon Bombay is a star in the minor leagues and is expected to make it to the NHL soon.
