The Ice Capades of Hell

February 22, 1980. A ragtag team of American college kids faced the seemingly invincible Soviet hockey machine at Lake Placid, in what sports announcer Al Michaels would immortalize with four words that still give us chills. But the real story isn't just about beating the Soviets—it's about what happened in the locker room beforehand, the coach who broke his players down to build them back up, and how 20 kids from small-town America pulled off what many still call the greatest upset in sports history.
