February 22, 1980.

The underdog U.S. team defeated the four-time defending gold medal Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York.

The U.S. win is considered one of the most dramatic upsets in Olympic history.

The Soviet squad fell to the youthful American team 4-3 before a frenzied crowd of 10,000 spectators.

When the final horn sounded, the players, coaches and team officials poured onto the ice in celebration.

To many Americans, the "Miracle on Ice" represented a Cold War victory
