60 “Campers” Arrive in Lake Placid for Second Annual Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp
DATE: April 3, 2016 CONTACT: Jon Lundin, ORDA director of communications, ([email protected]) at (518) 523-1655 ext. 5313 *** VIDEO RELEASE *** 60 “Campers” Arrive in Lake Placid for Second Annual Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp LAKE PLACID, N.Y. --- The 60 campers arrived, in Lake Placid, N.Y, today, Sunday, April 3, to participate in the five-day long second annual Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp. These campers come from as far away as Seattle, Wash. and range in age from 28 to 68 years-old. While in the two-time Olympic village they will spend the entire time playing hockey, hanging out with and listening to stories told by 16 players from the famed 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team. It was 36 years ago that this group of mostly college age hockey players defeated the favored Soviet Union 4-3, in the game that’s known world-wide as the “Miracle on Ice,” en- route to the improbable Olympic gold medal. The 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team players taking part in the camp include Bill Baker, Neal Broten, Dave Christian, Mike Eruzione, John Harrington, Steve Janaszek, Mark Johnson, Rob McClanahan, Ken Morrow, Jack O’Callahan, Mark Pavlich, Mike Ramsey, Buzz Schneider, Dave Silk, Eric Strobel and Mark Wells. The squad’s assistant coach, Craig Patrick, is also in Lake Placid. All Fantasy Campers were picked up from Albany (N.Y.) International Airport and transported to Lake Placid via motor coach. While in Lake Placid, they’ll receive hockey instruction and play games while spending four nights at the High Peaks Resort.

In One of the Most Dramatic Upsets in Olympic History, the Underdog U.S
In one of the most dramatic upsets in Olympic history, the underdog U.S. hockey team, made up of college players, defeats the four-time defending gold-medal winning Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. The Soviet squad, previously regarded as the finest in the world, fell to the youthful American team 4-3 before a frenzied crowd of 10,000 spectators. Two days later, the Americans defeated Finland 4-2 to clinch the hockey gold. The Soviet team had captured the previous four Olympic hockey golds, going back to 1964, and had not lost an Olympic hockey game since 1968. Three days before the Lake Placid Games began, the Soviets routed the U.S. team 10-3 in an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Americans looked scrappy, but few blamed them for it--their average age, after all, was only 22, and their team captain, Mike Eruzione, was recruited from the obscurity of the Toledo Blades of the International League. Few had high hopes for the seventh-seeded U.S. team entering the Olympic tournament, but the team soon silenced its detractors, making it through the opening round of play undefeated, with four victories and one tie, thus advancing to the four-team medal round. The Soviets, however, were seeded No. 1 and as expected went undefeated, with five victories in the first round. On Friday afternoon, February 22, the American amateurs and the Soviet dream team met before a sold-out crowd at Lake Placid.

Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-17666-8 - Dropping the Torch: Jimmy Carter, the Olympic Boycott, and the Cold War Nicholas Evan Sarantakes Excerpt More information introduction Miracle on Ice Mike Eruzione as the team captain stood on the platform, hand over his heart, with his Olympic gold medal hanging from his neck, as a series of cables attached to the roof of the arena pulled the U.S. flag in the air ahead of those of Finland and the Soviet Union. He was singing words to the “Star Spangled Banner,” leading the crowd in the song, as the music played during the medal ceremony. It is difficult to overstate what he and his nineteen teammates on the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team had done to reach this moment. Just in athletic terms, their victory was astonishing. They had defeated a Soviet team that had won the gold medal of the last four Olympiads. During that run, the goal differential between the Soviets and their opponents had been 175–44. After 1980, the Soviets would not lose to another U.S. team for another eleven years. In fact, they would not lose any game in international play for another five years.1 As impressive as the hockey team’s success was in athletic terms – and it was extraordinary – their gold medal was far more significant to the psyche of the nation. “It was what America needed in troubled times,” an official of the U.S. Amateur Hockey Association explained a few weeks later. Their win pro- duced “a release of emotion and national pride that swept a country searching for something to bolster its pride.”2 Their triumph was also of immense importance to the international Olympic movement.

Herb Brooks Quotes – Olympic Coach from the 1980 USA Hockey Team
Herb Brooks Quotes – Olympic Coach from the 1980 USA Hockey Team Brooks' original expressions were known by his players as "Brooksisms." According to Olympians John Harrington, Dave Silk, and Mike Eruzione, these are a few.[14] "You're playing worse and worse every day and right now you're playing like it's next month." "You can't be common, the common man goes nowhere; you have to be uncommon." "Boys, I'm asking you to go to the well again." "You look like you have a five pound fart on your head." "You guys are getting bent over and they're not using Vaseline." "You look like a monkey tryin' to hump a football!" "You're looking for players whose name on the front of the sweater is more important than the one on the back. I look for these players to play hard, to play smart and to represent their country.” "Great moments are born from great opportunities." "You know, Willie Wonka said it best: we are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams." "This team isn't talented enough to win on talent alone." "If you lose this game you'll take it to your grave...your fucking grave." "You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here. This moment is yours."[15] "Write your own book instead of reading someone else's book about success."[7] "Boys, in the front of the net its a bloody nose alley." "Don't dump the puck in. That went out with short pants." "Throw the puck back and weave, weave, weave.

Certain events transpire that are so significant, that most people recall exactly where they were and what they were doing when those events happened. This can be said about the 1980 Olympic hockey game between the Soviet Union and the United States. This event, which Al Michaels and many others today refer to as a miracle, is considered to be one of, if not the greatest upset in sports history. Occurring about eleven years prior to the complete fall of the Soviet Union, this victory was more than just a hockey victory, it was a victory for America. This win helped bring back hope into the hearts of the Americans, which they were lacking during the 1970s.
