On this day in 1980, the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, saw one of the most thrilling and historic moments in sports history: the "Miracle on Ice" ice hockey game. The United States men's team, composed mainly of amateur players, was pitted against the heavily favored Soviet Union team, which had won gold medals in five previous Winter Olympic Games.
I grew up in Minnesota playing hockey against some of those guys in the 70’s... epic period in state hockey... best sport in the world ❤️ 🏒 🙏🏻
🏒 An epic that will never, can never, be equalled. 🥇
