Listen to the behind the scenes stories from Dan, who at the time was just a 7th grade rink rat running around the olympic facilities, bumping elbows and asking for autographs, while the hockey world was changing right before his eyes. There is nothing more special to a hockey fan, than reliving the 1980 Miracle On Ice from someone who lived it. What a magical experience, and magical stories from Dan. King and Carts have a pretty great breakdown of this years opening ceremonies, along with their experiences at various football parties yesterday.
