The U.S. women's hockey team's winning the gold medal in Nagano, Japan, reminds many fans of the pride felt in this country 18 years ago when the U.S. men's hockey team stunned the world by upsetting the heavily favored Soviet Union team, and then defeating Finland to gain the gold. Pictured are four members of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" team, Terriers Jim Craig (SED'80), Mike Eruzione (SED'77), Jack O'Callahan (CAS'79), and Dave Silk (CAS'80,GSM'93). A few weeks after their heroics in Lake Placid they received a standing ovation before a BU game at Walter Brown Arena. Eruzione, now Boston University's director of athletics development, scored the winning goal against the Soviet Union. "We believed in ourselves," he recalls. "We personified what teamwork was all about. There wasn't just one player who enabled us to win, there were 20." Boston University Photo Services |
