Dylan Playfair, who plays the Ducks coach is actually the son of former Calgary Flames head coach Jim Playfair.
The name of the Ducks' home rink is called the "Hendrix Hockey Pavilion." Hendrix is also the name of the company who sponsored Team U.S.A. in D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994).
In The Mighty Ducks movies the term "Cake eater" is said to a person as an insult. Throughout the first episode of the series Gordon Bombay is constantly eating leftover cake.
Lauren Graham's character in Gilmore Girls mentioned that she used to have a crush on Emilio Estevez, who she stars with in this series.
Gordon Bombay never drinks alcohol in this series. This makes sense for his character, because in the original movie, he became coach of the Ducks after being sentenced to mandatory community service for a DUI.
