Corrected entry: Going into the playoffs, the Ducks were seeded last, and the Hawks were seeded first. Therefore, the Ducks should have played the Hawks in the first round, not the finals.

The Mighty Ducks (1992)
Corrected entry: In the championship game, Adam Banks scored a goal after being cross-checked by a Hawk. This sequence of events does not result in a power play, as depicted by the movie. When a penalty is called, the ref will refrain from blowing his whistle if the team that did not commit the penalty still has control of the puck. If the team scores during that time, the penalty is nullified.
Correction: In peewee hockey cross checking would still be called as it is used as a teaching tool. However in high school and above the goal would nullify the penalty.

The Mighty Ducks (1992)
Corrected entry: All youth hockey players use mouth-guards, yet most (if not all) players in the movie don't have any.
Correction: Many leagues did not require mouthguards until very recently, and some still do not require them.

Correction: While that is true that the Ducks were last and Hawks were first, since they faced each other in the finals they may not have been in the same "league." Similar to the NHL while the Pittsburgh Penguins will play the Chicago Blackhawks in the regular season, they don't play each other in the playoffs due to being in a different league.
