For whatever it's worth, 5 of the 20 players on the roster of the 1980 U.S. Olympic "Miracle on Ice" hockey team were from the area now covered by the 8th Congressional district.

I have no idea why I even felt the need to post that. LOL.

I was in the arena when the USA miracle hockey team received their gold medal and saw in person Jim Craig drape himself in the flag.
