"I remember thinking 'they don't have a chance. The Russian team was a much better skilled team, and the American team had just recently lost (10-3) to them. I didn't even watch the game. I went to the bowling alley instead because I thought for sure there was no chance to win. When I came out of the theater, people we're screaming, 'We beat the Russians.' I couldn't believe it."
Mark Parrish
"That was an incredible night. The 20 guys, not any of them were really great players. They were just out there doing anything they could, giving 120 percent. It was an incredible experience to watch, being a hockey fan.."
Lance
“It was a huge achievement. It was a bunch of guys who got together
and completely overachieved, won the gold and stole the hearts of everyone
in the world."
Shjon
"It definitely had an impact on myself, and I think it had a great deal
to do with making people watch hockey a little closer throughout the entire
United States and not just the northern states. It was a classic underdog
moment. I think being in that position pulled the country together in a hockey
sense."
