Do you believe in miracles? In the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics the underdog United States hockey team defeated the mighty squad from the USSR. Immortalized by broadcaster Al Michael’s historic call, the Miracle on Ice is widely regarded as the greatest upset in sports history. The US team was made mainly of college hockey players, who were seemingly no match for the battle tested Soviets. Despite the massive odds against them, the USA prevailed 4-3 and went on to win the gold medal that year.
