  • Introduction
    Introduction by the time i arrived home that Friday afternoon my dad was already there, listening to the game. I found him in the kitchen, leaning over the small RCA solid state radio. The game was scheduled to be shown on television later that night, on tape delay. But true fans, dedicated fans, heard the live call over the radio that afternoon. The date was February 22, 1980. The “Miracle on Ice” has been celebrated as an upset without equal.Sports Illustrated dubbed it the greatest event in sports history, surpassing Ali and Foreman, Jesse Owens in Berlin, and Roger Bannister’s four-minute mile. For my dad and me, among the relatively few Americans who experienced the game live, there was a sense that something special was happening. I cannot remember any specific words of radio announcer Curt Chaplin, nothing like Al Michael’s iconic call on TV later that night—“Do you believe in miracles? Yes!” I do recall that we were riveted. We did believe in miracles. As late afternoon gave way to the darkness of a winter evening, we stayed in the kitchen—him leaning against the counters, me sitting on the linoleum floor—listening out of a belief in the impossible. At the same time, we were surprised the game was so close. We didn’t understand why Soviet goaltender Vladislav Tretiak was on the bench after the first period, but we knew that it helped the Americans’ chances. We were relieved that the Soviets led by just one goal after the second period and held hope for a comeback.
