The poor guy wearing the #1 jersey in that photo was the only player on the U.S. team who didn’t play in a single game at the 1980 Winter Olympics: backup goaltender Steve Janaszak.

I played in that arena, a few years before that historic match, loved watching the US team beat the rooskies.

There’s a very interesting ESPN 30 for 30 episode called “Of Miracles and Men” which covers the Soviet side of the contest. It’s very interesting, if you can find it to watch.
