The Miracle On Ice
At the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York , the United States Men's Hockey team captured the gold medal.
The team was made up of mostly collegiate players, and no one gave them much of a chance to skate by the powerhouse Soviets and Finland.
This tremendous sports achievement became known as the Miracle On Ice.
This miraculous event captured the hearts and minds of all Americans, as it came during the intense period of the Cold War. It was a welcomed distraction to the turmoil at the time that our nation was embroiled in.
