The "Miracle on Ice" was anÂ ice hockeyÂ game during theÂ 1980 Winter OlympicsÂ inÂ Lake Placid, New York. It was played between the hostingÂ United StatesÂ and theÂ Soviet UnionÂ on February 22, 1980, during the medal round of the men'sÂ hockey tournament. Though the Soviet Union was a four-time defending gold medalist and heavily favored, the United StatesÂ upsetÂ them and won 4â€“3. The Soviet Union had won the gold medal in five of the six previous Winter Olympic Games, and they were the favourites to win once more in Lake Placid. The team consisted primarily of professional players with significant experience in international play. By contrast, the United States' team, led by head coachÂ Herb Brooks, was composed mostly ofÂ amateurÂ players, with only four players with minimal minor-league experience. The United States had the youngest team in the tournament and in U.S. national team history. In the group stage, both the Soviet and U.S. teams were unbeaten; the U.S. achieved several surprising results, including a 2â€“2 draw against Sweden, and a 7â€“3 upset victory over second-place favorite Sweden.Â For the first game in the medal round, the United States played the Soviets. Finishing the first period tied at 2â€“2, and the Soviets leading 3â€“2 following the second, the U.S. team scored two more goals to take their first lead midway in the third and final period, then held on and wonÂ 4â€“3. Two days later, the U.S. won the gold medal by beatingÂ FinlandÂ in their final game. The Soviet Union took the silver medal by beatingÂ The victory became one of the most iconic moments of the Games and in U.S. sports. Equally well-known was the television call of the final seconds of the game byÂ Al MichaelsÂ forÂ ABC, in which he declared:Â "Do you believe in miracles? YES!"Â In 1999,Â Sports IllustratedÂ named the "Miracle on Ice" the top sports moment of the 20th century.
