Kcice & NHLPA Replaces Stolen Hockey Gear for Youth Players For Immediate Release: Contact: April 15, 2016 Michelle King, (816) 249-2600 [email protected] KCIce & NHLPA Replaces Stolen Hockey Gear for Youth Players For Immediate Release: Contact: April 15, 2016 Michelle King, (816) 249-2600 [email protected] KANSAS CITY, MO, APRIL 15, 2016 – After their family vehicle was burglarized earlier this month, some local youth hockey players received new hockey gear, after KCIce and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) stepped in to help. KCIce, an outdoor ice rink and beach volleyball management team, was notified of the burglary and contacted Patrick and Mandi Moran the parents of Saige and Eryka, the two children who’s equipment was stolen. Upon learning of the Moran’s situation, KCIce in conjunction with the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA)'s Goals & Dreams program decided to lend a helping hand and replace the stolen gear. “They had both of their bags with everything they have, including sticks, stolen,” lamented Patrick Moran, “You don’t know how much this means to them. My kids are addicted to hockey.” Eryka is a second grade student attending Parkway Elementary in St. Joseph, MO and plays in the ‘Squirts’ division for the St. Joseph Griffins Hockey Association. Her brother, Saige, is in the fourth grade and also plays for the Griffins. He will be entering the ‘PeeWee’ division in the upcoming season. “It was an unfortunate situation. Fortunately, with the equipment from NHLPA Goals & Dreams, we were able to keep two more athletes on the ice, and now Saige and Eryka can play in their tournament this week” stated Ken Morrow, KCIce President. Morrow is a former NHLPA member who skated in 550 NHL games over a 10-year career. He captured the Stanley Cup on four occasions as a member of the New York Islanders dynasty of the 1980’s and was also a member of the 1980 US Olympic ‘Miracle on Ice’ team. A native of Flint, Michigan, Morrow continually shows his passion for the sport of hockey through various outreach programs. “Our mission is to promote and grow ice based sports,” said Morrow. “Our relationships with the NHL, NHLPA, and the ice rinks we have built and continue to develop, allow us to see our mission progress. We have witnessed significant increase in participation in new skaters and hockey players.” Founded in 2006, KCIce, LLC is an outdoor ice rink developer and management group. KCIce is led by Ken Morrow, KCIce President, 1980 ‘Miracle on Ice’ Olympic Gold Medalist and four time Stanley Cup Champion, with Paul McGannon, KCIce Vice President and Founder of NHL21. KCIce manages The Rink/Sands at Burlington Creek, located at 6109 NW 63rd Terrance, Kansas City, Missouri. KCIce also developed the outdoor ice rink at Old Kinderhook in Camdenton, Missouri in 2014 with more outdoor ice rinks in development. Launched in 1999 as a way for the players to give back to the game they love, NHLPA Goals & Dreams (G&D) has donated over $24-million to grassroots hockey programs. Over the past 16 years, more than 70,000 deserving children have benefited from receiving G&D donations of full sets of hockey equipment. The players’ program has also assisted with upgrades and the building of hundreds of arenas worldwide in addition to the hockey equipment donations. G&D donations have spanned a total of 34 countries to date: Algeria, Australia, Austria, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Ecuador, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mongolia, Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Scotland, Serbia, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Ukraine and the United States of America.

  • 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.

  • Relive the Miracle for Less- Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp Says “Happy Holidays” with Extended Discount Rate
    DATE: November 23, 2015 CONTACT: Jon Lundin, ORDA director of communications, ([email protected]) at (518) 523-1655 ext. 5313 Relive the Miracle for Less- Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp Says “Happy Holidays” with Extended Discount Rate LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – Do you have a hockey fanatic in your family? Skip the long lines for sticks, skates and swag and fulfill their fantasy this holiday season with the hockey experience of a lifetime. The Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp, taking place April 3-7, in the two-time Olympic village of Lake Placid, N.Y., is extending a discounted camper rate through Christmas Day. The five-day camp features a coaching staff comprised of at least 11 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey gold medalists, all returning from last year, and includes Neal Broton, Dave Christian, Mike Eruzione, John Harrington, Steve Janaszak, Mark Johnson, Ken Morrow, Mike Ramsey, Buzz Schneider, Dave Silk and Mark Wells. The group is eager and excited to share their hockey knowledge, stories and Olympic experience with 68 campers. “The Miracle on Ice Hockey Camp is a chance to connect with one of the greatest moments in sports. Our team is continually amazed at the response we continue to get from not only fans but the general public,” added Harrington, who assisted on Eruzione’s go-ahead goal against the Russians. “It was an amazing time in our lives, a crucial time in global politics, and to know that we had some effect on the psyche of a nation is very flattering. “This camp will enable participants and players to re-live that time period, share the inside stories and allow you to play in one of the most famed arenas in all of sports.” A limited number of spots remain (must be 21 and over) for the camp which is held in the Olympic Center’s 1980 Rink-Herb Brooks Arena.

  • Four More Fantasy Camp Coaches Delivered in Time for the Holidays a Limited Number of Spots Remain to Be Filled for the Camp
    DATE: December 14, 2014 CONTACT: Jon Lundin, ORDA director of communications, ([email protected]) at (518) 523-1655 ext. 5313 Four More Fantasy Camp Coaches Delivered in Time for the Holidays A Limited Number of Spots Remain to be filled for the Camp LAKE PLACID, N.Y. –This year’s group of Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp participants have been good boys and girls this year. Santa checked his list, checking it twice, and found that none were naughty and all were nice and left four new coaches under the tree for the April 3-7, 2016, in Lake Placid, N.Y. Santa’s little helpers added 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey gold medalists Bill Baker, Rob McClanahan, Mark Pavelich and team assistant coach Craig Patrick to the coaching staff that already featured 11 players from the historic team. These four join the staff which also includes Neal Broton, Dave Christian, Mike Eruzione, John Harrington, Steve Janaszak, Mark Johnson, Ken Morrow, Mike Ramsey, Buzz Schneider, Dave Silk and Mark Wells. Following the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, in which he scored the game-tying goal against Team Sweden, Baker went on to play for the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens, Colorado Rockies, St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers. Today, Baker lives in Brainerd, Minn. where he works as an oral surgeon and maxillofacial specialist. McClanahan scored five goals during the Olympic hockey tournament, including the game winner against Team Finland. That win secured the improbable Olympic gold medal. McClanahan later went on to play in 224 games with the NHL’s Buffalo, Hartford and the New York Rangers.

Their victory resounded across the nation. In Atlanta, the Off Peachtree Bar named a drink after the goaltender: the Craig Cocktail—“Everything but vodka.”1 At the City Opera in Manhattan, news of the victory brought the “loudest Bravo” of the night.2 “Some Americans wept, others honked their horns and thousands more broke into the national anthem.”3 The response was as spontaneous as it was unexpected; an untapped reserve of nationalism poured forth. “I can’t remember anything like that happening since World War II,” Jim McKay, the American Broadcasting Company’s (ABC) in-studio host for the Lake Placid Olympics, crowed to millions watching.4 It seemed that only one group of Americans had not heard the news. As one New York Times reporter mused, imagine the hostages “emerging from the[ir] isolation in Teheran to discover that . the American hockey team beat the Russians at the Winter Olympics for the first time in nearly 20 years.”5 And yet, surrounding the photographs of the young Olympians, headlines ran that warned of a nation in decline and a world in turmoil.
