Quotes 

• Gordon Bombay : I was like you, Charlie. When I played hockey, I was a total hotshot, tried to take control of every game. I wound up quitting. So I tried the law. Same thing. I rule in the courtroom, but inside, I'm a mess. I started drinking. Man, I was going down, but then this great thing happened. Maybe the best thing ever. I got arrested and sentenced to community service. And there you were, Charlie and the Ducks. And as hard as I fought it, there you were. You gave me a life, Charlie and I want to say thank you. I told Orion about all this when I talked to him about taking over. I told him that you were the heart of the team and that you would learn something from each other. I told him that you were the real Minnesota Miracle Man.

  Charlie Conway : [astonished]  You did?

  Gordon Bombay : [nods]  I did. So be that man, Charlie. Be that man.

• Gordon Bombay : [to the board]  These scholarships, an offer, became a binding contract upon the signatures of the recipients and acceptance by the Ducks. They cannot be voided except for cause which I guarantee you, you have none. Should you decide to pursue their cancellation, I will slap you with an injunction. I will tie this matter up in court for years until long after these kids have gone on to college. And I will collect damages. I will win because I am very, very good. You know why I'm so good? Because I had a good education. You gave it to me and you're gonna give it to these kids.

  Coach Orion : [to Charlie]  He is good.

  Charlie Conway : Just getting started.

• Gordon Bombay : [to priest]  Excuse me, one second.

  [takes Hans' jersey and lays it on the coffin, then addresses the 'Ducks'] 

  Gordon Bombay : Every time you touch the ice, remember that it was Hans who taught us to fly.

• Gordon Bombay : [while walking down the hall with Charlie, he leads him to a trophy cabinet and motions to a picture of himself]  Check this out. Look at that hair. I look like Greg Brady.

  [he and Charlie chuckle] 

• Charlie Conway : [Gordon has set Charlie's alarm for 6AM]  Go away.

  Gordon Bombay : Can't do that. Come on.

  [flips Charlie and his mattress over] 

  Gordon Bombay : Get dressed, Charlie.

• Gordon Bombay : Thank you. It's a great honor to be here today to introduce you to a truly great group of kids. Sure, they can be a little rambunctious. They've run me ragged and played more than their fair share of pranks. I still haven't forgotten about those eggs, but I hung in there, and they hung in there for me. We became the Quack Attack, the Flying "V'' and the Bash Brothers. I've never had a better time. These kids are winners, each and every one of them. But more than that, these are good people. I hope that they enrich and enliven your school and your lives the way they have mine.

• Charlie Conway : The school looks stuffy, but we'll loosen it up. Huh, Coach?

  Gordon Bombay : [sighs]  I'm not gonna be your coach this year, Charlie.

  Charlie Conway : Yeah. Very funny.

  Gordon Bombay : I just got the official word. The Junior Goodwill Games Committee has named me Director of Player Personnel. I'm gonna be in charge of their junior hockey program worldwide.

  Charlie Conway : Well, don't go.

  Gordon Bombay : Charlie, I can't pass up this opportunity.

  Charlie Conway : But you can pass us up, right? I mean, you dump us in some stupid school and now...

  Gordon Bombay : I'm not dumping you anywhere. Eden Hall is a great chance for you. Charlie, I will always...

  Charlie Conway : Coach, please... don't go.

  Gordon Bombay : Charlie, I know it's hard. I... I understand what you're going thr...

  Charlie Conway : No, no. No, you don't understand. You obviously don't even have a clue.

  [walks away from Gordon]
