Where are they now? The original cast of The Mighty Ducks.

You know what '90s kids love? 

All the cute stuff we grew up with. Polly Pockets, scratch 'n' sniff stickers, Tamagotchis... 

And, duh, epic movies that are bona fide classics these days. 

Oh, you want an example? Well, sure – how about Mighty Ducks? The comedy-drama about fledgling little league ice hockey teams holds a special place in all our hearts (I mean, Joshua Jackson when he was teeny? Too cute.)

To sate our your thirst for some serious nostalgia, we thought we’d take a look back at the original cast of the beloved trio of movies and see what they’re up to now...

Emilio Estevez AKA Gordon Bombay

A member of the original brat pack, Estevez already had some film roles under his belt before he stumbled across a bunch of rag-tag ice hockey players and turned them into peewee champions.

Since starring in The Mighty Ducks, Estevez has starred in a bunch of movies including Late Last Night, The L.A Riot Spectacular and Dear Dracula. He's also had TV roles in The West Wing and Two and a Half Men – and, of course, he came back for some more Ducks action for the 2021 TV series reboot, Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, reprising his OG role as Coach Bombay.

In addition, he continues to be Charlie Sheen's less controversial brother.

Joshua Jackson AKA Charlie Conway

After playing Charlie Conway in The Mighty Ducks franchise, Jackson landed the role of Pacey on teen drama Dawson's Creek.

There, he broke teenage girl hearts all over the world.

Since Dawson's Creek, Jackson has continued to be ridiculously good-looking and talented. And busy!

He spent years working on the JJ Abrams sci-fi series Fringe, before taking on a steamy new role in The Affair from 2014-2019. 

When The Affair ended, Jackson followed up with a turn in Little Fires Everywhere in 2020, nailed the lead role as the creepy Dr. Christopher Duntsch in 2021's Dr Death, and is gracing our screens yet again in 2023 in the TV series remake of classic movie Fatal Attraction.

As for his personal like, in 2016, he broke up with his long-time girlfriend, Diane Kruger. Women around the world were simultaneously heartbroken but also just a li'l bit hopeful that it could finally be their chance... until he went and fell in love with British actress Jodie Turner-Smith in 2018. The pair married in December 2019 and welcomed a daughter together in 2020.

Marguerite Moreau AKA Connie

Connie was the only female player on the Ducks until Gordon recruited figure skater Tammy onto the team. GIRL POWER.

Moreau went on to star in Wet Hot American Summer, Queen of the Damned, Runaway Jury, The Uninvited, and Life Happens.

She's also had reoccurring TV roles on The O.C, Parenthood, Shameless and Grey's Anatomy.

Elden Henson AKA Fulton Reed

While shy Fulton Reed didn't have a lot to say in the original movie, he was a crucial part of the Ducks' victory at the end.

After The Mighty Ducks, Henson went on to star in She’s All That, Manic, Cheats and Déjà Vu. 

He went on to play Pollux in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, and was another to reprise his role for the 2021 TV reboot, The Might Ducks: Game Changers.

At the start of the movie, George is the team's goalie and he's terrified of getting hit by the puck.

With the help of Coach Gordon (aka Estevez), he eventually gets over his fear. All together now... awwwwww.

After the Ducks, Weiss made several guest appearances on television shows like Mr. Rhodes, Boy Meets World, The King of Queens, Family Law, Freaks and Geeks and Crossing Jordan.

In 2017, he was arrested for possession of methamphetamine, according to People.

So... yeah.

Matt Doherty AKA Lester Averman

Averman was the class clown of the team and spent more time cracking jokes than actually playing hockey... and we loved him for it.

Since the Ducks trilogy, Doherty has made guest appearances on Boston Public, Bones, Grey’s Anatomy and Franklin & Bash. He eventually went on to study writing and theatre, though has popped up here and there (including in – you guessed it – the TV Ducks reboot!).

This story was originally published in January 2018, and has since been updated with new information.
