Today It Happened

[sherbs]

41 years ago today, Feb 22nd, I was working at the venue and this Miracle Happened. One of the Greatest Nights, the party did not stop for day's even though it was 10 below zero. Any guesses?

On Feb. 22, 1980, in an upset dubbed the “Miracle on Ice,” the United States hockey team defeated the Soviets, 4-3, at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y

It was a celebration that did not stop for days, even the athletes from non-commi countries got into the mood. The stores in Lake Placid played the game for years on outside televisions.
