A Recap Of The 1980 Miracle On Ice And The Bond That Propelled Them To Victory

The echoes of a hockey game played 43 years ago today still reverberate. There’s a reason the U.S.A. defeating the USSR in 1980 was selected as the most significant sports moment of the 20th century. It lifted a team, a town and a nation - events like that are in short supply today.This team also thought us something that I have based my professional life on; that when a group of people believe, trust and work for each other - miracles are possible.This week we’re re-releasing a recap of the Miracle On Ice that Lee recorded back in 2019. We hope you enjoy this special episode and it inspires you to look to the 1980 team for motivation and as an example of a well-bonded team.Click To Text The Our Kids Play Hockey Team!🚨 The Puckaround™ Pro Training Puck is being called the best off-ice puck ever — same weight, size, and feel as the real thing.
