30 years ago on Monday will be the Anniversary of “The Miracle On Ice.” This is a nice video that gives the back story as to why this game was such a huge deal.

It was one of those games that gave a Nation something to cheer about in a such a gloomy time. The people of the U.S were able to look back on the game to forget the present problems. It was that type of win though, one that just re-energized an entire Nation so to speak.

It is also one of those games that just goes to show people what sports is all about. David vs. Goliath, a team able to defy the odds and share a common belief that they could defeat the hockey power house of recent years. Despite being smaller, less talented and less experienced they were able to pull off well.. A Miracle.
