Most members of the gold medal-winning 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team are expected to return to Lake Placid, NY in February to participate in a special event centered around the 35th anniversary of their famed Miracle on Ice.
The evening at Herb Brooks Arena on Feb. 21 will include video, audio and photos, as well as a tribute to team member Bob Suter, who died in September while coaching kids. His No. 20 jersey will be raised to the rafters of the 1980 Rink where the U.S. team produced stirring victories over the Soviet Union and Finland to win the gold.
The event is part of the eighth annual Hockey Weekend Across America, a three-day nationwide celebration of the sport, and NBC will have a live studio show from Lake Placid
