About The Miracle on Ice
Lake Placid is a small village in the Adirondacks, and in February 1980 its little arena held the whole country's attention. The Soviet team had won gold at four straight Olympics, and the Americans were college players with a coach who cut and drilled them relentlessly. Most people who watched it can still tell you where they were sitting when the clock ran out.
