APRIL 2021 USAHOCKEYMAGAZINE.COM // 15 k MORE THAN 40 YEARS AFTER the small village of Lake Placid, N.Y., became the center of the hockey universe, the ghosts of miracles past can be heard echoing through the halls of the Herb Brooks Arena, the site of the 1980 Olympic Hockey Team's "miracle" victory. Katie Million knows this feeling very well. "Living in Lake Placid for almost 20 years, you feel the impact of the 1980 miracle hockey team every day," said Million, who has worn many hats over the course of her career, including her current role as the director of the U.S. Women's National Team programs. "Walking through the doors of the Herb Brooks Arena in the Olympic Center still brings chills." Looking to keep the memory alive, a group of supporters are looking to erect a monument celebrating this special moment that means so much to local citizens and hockey fans around the country. The three-year project was created by the Friends of the 1980 Miracle Hockey Team, LLC to raise money for a statue by sculptor Robert Eccleston depicting members of the U.S. hockey team celebrating on the medal stand.
