1980 USA Hockey

living in Minnesota 15yo my family saw them come off the plane returning from Lake Placid wearing their cowboy hats and Oly outfit and proudly wearing the Gold medals...it was pretty huge.

watched many of the players on that team play in the High School hockey tourney on into the Minnesota Gophers NCAA Champs.

We also saw them (pre Olympics) get creamed by a Russian exhibition team--you could hear coach Brooks yelling at the players

and current Seahawks team
