Faculty, Students
Renown hockey writers, Tim Rappleye and Keith Gave will present their account of what is arguably among the greatest events in sports history. Like the group of players who stunned the world by upsetting the mighty Soviet Union in the iconic "Miracle Game" at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid in 1980, few gave the Team USA women much of a chance to beat the Canadians in the inaugural women's tournament in Nagano, Japan in 1998. After all, Canada's women had dominated their game for decades, winning every major international tournament until then. But when the Gold Medal game had ended, Team USA was standing atop of the podium after a shocking upset that ignited what many consider to be the greatest rivalry in all of sports.
