This year, our nation celebrates its 250th birthday. As part of this celebration, we remember the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team and their achievement of the iconic “Miracle on Ice.” Disney’s 2004 film ‘Miracle’ recounts this inspiring story, but no movie or documentary can convey the true scope of this event as well as all-American goalie Jim Craig.

Jim Craig was the true backbone of the 1980 Olympic Gold Medal Hockey Team, whose ‘Miracle’ win was voted by Sports Illustrated as the greatest moment in sports history in the 20th century. Craig, who began every game in-goal, was a leading figure in the team’s success.
