During two incredible weeks in February 1980, 20 college kids headed to Lake Placid, NY, coached by one of the greatest motivators and taskmasters of all-time. During those two weeks they gave a discouraged America - a country unnerved by the plight of 52 hostages held by Iran - a renewed sense of pride in our country. Nothing matches the excitement, emotion and pride generated by the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team's 'Miracle on Ice" at the 1980 winter games.
Of all the goals scored and the excitement generated, one of the most lasting images of the euphoric celebration of the American players after they defeated Finland to capture the Gold Medal was that of goalie Jim Craig draped in the Stars and Stripes searching the crowd for his father.
This excitement was revisited at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, UT where Jim, along with his Miracle on Ice Teammates, lit the cauldron to begin the 19th Winter Olympic Games.
