Mistakes

The science teacher makes a water molecule and claims it makes up "96% of the human body." This is simply wrong. Depending on the person, it usually ranges between 70-80%, with around 15-18% of us being carbon. See more...

Trivia

When Coach Bombay is talking to the old store owner guy while he sharpens a skate and whatnot, there is a picture of Mike Modano hanging up behind them. Modano was the Minnesota North Star's first overall pick in the 1988 entry draft. He even stayed with them when they moved to Dallas in 1993. See more...

When Gordon first meets the players, Goldberg tells him he will not be on the team much longer because he is moving away. However, this never happens, and no explanation is ever given. [So where's the mistake? We never go home with Goldberg so how would we ever know what's going on in his personal life?]

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. [This is only true if all teams play in the first round. Some smaller leagues, in an effort to give weaker teams a chance, give the top 2 teams a bye in the first round and then play a strict bracket from then on. While professional leagues reseed after each round(i.e. NHL, AHL, etc.) this midget league obviously does not.]

All youth hockey players use mouth-guards, yet most (if not all) players in the movie don't have any. [Many leagues did not require mouthguards until very recently, and some still do not require them.]
Edit
At the end of the movie, Charlie goes to take his penalty shot and goes around the puck three times. In the rules you must touch the puck within a 5 second time period or the shot is forfited. [In the novelized version of the movie, this is described as Charlie skating around the puck while waiting for the signal to start his run.]
Edit
I don't see how any referee in his right mind would let players in a shootout, not wear a helmet. [In hockey, it is not required to wear a helmet during a shootout/penalty shot. There is no action until the next puck drop after the shot is taken and therefore the helmet is not required for safety.]
Edit
When Bombay is in the limo on the ice the first time after he tells district 5 to practice he is on the car phone. Pay attention to the cord when all the kids come in. It's not connected to anything. [It's not attached to anything because one of the kids goes 'Oh cool is that a real phone?' and he pulls it out. Notice he looks exasperated when he realises the phone has been disconnected.]
Edit
In the beginning of the movie when Gordon Bombay is coaching D-5, there would be no way this team would be permitted to play with the lack of and/or outdated hockey equipment. Goldberg has no goalpads, most of his skaters have no full facial protection, no shin pads and the use of bike and football helmets. [In most minor leagues espicially in the 80s and early 90s you did not need a full face mask.]
Edit
When Coach Bombay has the Ducks practice passing eggs to each other, he tells them "Confidence, not strength." At the end of the movie, when the Ducks say goodbye to Bombay, Fulton Reed repeats this advice to Bombay, but he gets it backwards. Fulton says "Remember: strength, not confidence." [That was intentional.]
Edit
The flying V is 15 feet offside. [The Flying V is NOT offside. They were very careful to make this play legal. If you watch the play carefully, you will see that just before the team enters the offensive zone, the puck is passed to the lead guy, who brings it across the blue line. This makes it legal, as the player with the puck is the first to cross the blue line.]
Edit
At the very end of the movie where Gordon Bombay is saying his goodbyes, if you look at the bus behind him the American flag is reversed. [The American Flag on the passanger side of the Greyhound bus where Gordon was entering is always in reverse.]
