In a sporting culture that boasts figures like Babe Ruth and Jesse Owens and institutions like the Yankees and Bears it seems unlikely that a team of college hockey players would make a lasting impression.
But as 1999 drew to a close most surveys declared the “Miracle On Ice America's greatest sports achievement of the 20th century. A few years later it was immortalized by Hollywood in the movie Miracle.
“It may just be the single most indelible moment in all of U.S. sports history said Sports Illustrated of Team USA's improbable gold medal run at the 1980 Winter Olympics. “One that sent an entire nation into a frenzy. American hockey came of age on February 22 1980 when the young Americans took down the mighty Red Machine from the USSR.
This 16" by 20" photo captures those college youngsters in a moment of pure joy and celebration seconds after the final horn had sounded and the Soviets have been defeated. Signed in perfect blue sharpie this photo includes signatures from nineteen members of that unlikely squad of heroes including Captain Mike Eruzione and goalie Jim Craig.
