Introduction

The Miracle on Ice is considered by most Americans to be the greatest sports event in the United States. On February 22, 1980, the United States Olympic Hockey team defeated the much stronger and much more experienced Soviet Union Olympic team 4-3 before winning the Gold Medal, which was unbelievable to many Americans because this team was considered a long shot even to win a medal. The Miracle on Ice will be remembered by all Americans as the time when all of America was able to believe in the greatness and determination of themselves and their country.
