Biography[]
In the first movie, Averman refers to her as "the velvet hammer." She is the first to kindly welcome Coach Bombay to the group and asks if he plays hockey or skates nowadays, to which he coldly replies no. When the team invades Bombay's limo, she declares that she feels like Madonna sitting in it. She is close to Guy Germaine and is often shown holding hands with him, implying that they are dating. Later, when the team is upset with Coach Bombay, Charlie is ostracized in class for sticking up for Bombay and the others start to push him around. Connie stands up for him and it leads to the entire team arguing amongst themselves, thus landing them in detention for 'quacking at the principal.'
She suggested to Coach Bombay that Guy take the penalty shot against the Hawks before Bombay settles on Charlie to finish the game. After the Ducks won the game, Connie and Guy had a victory kiss.
In D2, Connie is about to accept a kiss from Guy on a platform with a waterfall backdrop when Charlie skates in to tell them that "Quack attack is back!", thus making her excited and quickly joining the group to help round up the others. Like Charlie, she is fiercely loyal to the team and works hard to help them win. When the team was introduced to the new Ducks, she takes an interest in Luis Mendoza, commenting that he was a "good-looking skater." This resulted in Guy Germaine elbowing Lester Averman for agreeing with Connie, indicating Guy's jealousy. She was also the target of Dwayne Robertson's affection. When she attempted to score a goal in the second match against Iceland, a bigger male player checks her into the boards. When she regained control of the puck, it became wedged against the boards, leading Dwayne Robertson to lasso the Iceland player before he can check Connie again. She thanks Dwayne for his act and states that "I'm no lady, I'm a duck!" before shoving the Iceland player to the ice. When the team wins over Iceland, she hugs Luis Mendoza, but in the credits she holds hands with Guy. Connie was part of the Team USA (Junior Goodwill Games). She later attended Eden Hall Academy, as seen in D3: The Mighty Ducks. She is portrayed by Marguerite Moreau.
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers[]
Guy and Connie Moreau.
After D3, Connie married Guy and became a Minnesota State senator. She and Guy have three kids which Guy describes as feeling like "seven". Connie sent an invitation to Bombay for their wedding, but he never attended due to the struggles in life he was having. When she reunited with Bombay and the other Ducks at Twin City Slice, she was put off by Gordon's dismissive attitude about them and the Mighty Ducks. However, when Evan Morrow revealed to Connie and the others that Gordon was not invited to the gala, she and the other Ducks picked him up in a limo (which they drove onto the Ice Palace's ice) and took him to the gala. The old Ducks stopped a speech by Stephanie about Coach T to tell the crowd that the true recipient of the award should be Gordon Bombay. Notably, Connie mentioned that while the original Ducks did not have the best start, Bombay made them champions by teaching them that hockey wasn't just about winning and losing but about the heart and the team. She then threw shade at Coach T before ending her speech with "Ducks fly together!"
The next day, Connie joined the other Ducks in playing with the Don't Bothers at the Ice Palace. She is seen giving checking instructions to Lauren and Maya.
Playing Style[]
Connie is an efficient skater and a good puck handler. Her more graceful skating maneuvers often throw off defenses, which enables her to weave around them. Despite her offensive prowess, her small size and weight make her vulnerable in defensive situations.
