WASHINGTON — Do you still believe in miracles?
The historic USA hockey team that toppled the mighty Soviet Union at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics got yet another honor Friday, as members of the legendary squad met with President Trump in the White House to commemorate the unforgettable win.
Trump was surrounded by cowboy-hat-wearing players from the “Miracle on Ice” squad — a scrappy group of amateurs who pulled off a victory many believed was impossible — after signing legislation Wednesday honoring their achievement.
“The whole world expected the Soviets to win — unless the ice melted,” Trump said, recounting the overwhelming odds facing the US’ 1980 hockey team against the Soviets who hadn’t lost an Olympic game since 1968 and was coming off four straight gold medal wins.
