Duhamel will play new character NHL player-turned-coach Gavin Cole in the hockey-themed sequel series. Inspirational, charming and hardcore, Gavin is big on the hockey metaphor that applies to life. He runs the super-intense summer hockey institute where The Mighty Ducks land for Season 2.

Duhamel most recently starred in the Netflix original series Jupiter’s Legacy based on the comic series of the same name. Next up, he will star in NBC’s The Thing About Pam alongside Renee Zellweger, which is set to release March 8. Duhamel will also star in Lionsgate’s Shotgun Wedding opposite Jennifer Lopez slated for a June 2022 release.
