On February 22, 1980, a group of young American hockey players took on the mighty Soviet Union team in what would become known as the "Miracle on Ice." The game took place in Lake Placid, New York, during the Winter Olympics and was expected to be an easy win for the experienced Soviet team, who had won five of the last six Olympic gold medals.
The game started off with the Soviet team dominating, scoring the first goal within the first minute of play. However, the American team refused to give up and kept fighting back. The Soviet team continued to pummel the American goal with shots, but were constantly thwarted by the incredible play of the American goaltender, Jim Craig.nike air jordan 1 low sail
