Geocache Description:

The location of an extraordinary sports achievement.


The "Miracle on Ice" refers to a medal-round men's ice hockey game during the 1980 Winter Olympics. The United States national team, made up of amateur and collegiate players and led by coach Herb Brooks, defeated the Soviet Union national team, who had won nearly every world championship and Olympic tournament since 1954.  Team USA won the gold medal by winning its last match over Finland. The Soviet Union took the silver medal by beating Sweden in its final game. In 1999, Sports Illustrated named the "Miracle on Ice" the Top Sports Moment of the 20th Century.
