• The proposed storyline included Coach Gordon Bombay being recruited by characters played by Joshua Jackson and Kenan Thompson to lead the expansion team.
• Estevez described the script as contemporary and charming, with Bombay initially coaching a roller derby team before transitioning to hockey with his players.
