30 years ago today - Miracle on Ice.

[the 4th hanson bro]

What was one of the greatest upsets in the history of sports happened 30 years ago today in a small town in New York. A team of unknown college students beat the Soviet Union in Olympic hockey. The same team that beat Team USA 10-3 just 3 days before the opening of the 1980 Olympics.

I remember this game vividly. It was Friday night, my parents were bowling and I was able to stay home because I wanted to watch the game. This is the game that made me fall in love with the sport of hockey. Later that year, I got Mike Eruzione's autograph.

I remember watching that game too.

One of the peak moments in my sports watching memories.

I remember the great Sports Illustrated cover after the game as well. No words at all, just the picture.

I was a month old at the time. Definitely one of those things I'd watch if I had a time machine.
