The Boys of Winter

In hindsight, this seems almost ridiculous. The most popular American sports moment of the 20th century is not a super bowl, world championship or basketball tournament. This is a hockey game. It is when most people outside the border with Canada did not care about sports.

Twenty-five years have passed since the US Olympic Hockey team defeated the Soviet team and acquired Lake Placid's gold medal. Americans are not feeling well about themselves when Americans are being held in Iran and the United States.

R. is invading Afghanistan. A group of college students work together to defeat one of the best teams ever, and this endeavor strengthens the spirit of Americans.

Silver anniversary is always a good time to look back and Wayne Coffee is doing things that have completed the current legendary hockey victory in his book "Winter Boy" in and after that. Coffey used the game game as a basic story, but as he progressed he woven all the biographies of the principal. This is a good way to catch up with everyone. Like the University of Wisconsin female coach Mark Johnson, some people are still playing hockey. Then Mike Eruzione basically relied on him to fight the Soviet victory by making an inspiring speech. The only person who did not speak to him died in a car accident in 2003, but still he was a coach Herb Brooks who had a good expression here.

As Americans take the initiative, Coffey will continue to compete and it will be difficult to look back on what could not be made quickly for everyone on the ocean side in the past ten minutes. Thinking about these moments of closure still supports some geese bumps. Those who understand the so-called "Ice Miracle" will learn how it happened thanks to Coffey's interview. But after reading "Winter Boy", everyone will appreciate the achievement of this team. Budd Bailey works in the sports division of Buffalo News.

Coffey, Wayne Winterboy Winter Boys provides a wonderful insight into the lives of 20 young people in the 1980 American men's hockey team. Many people may know the story that America broke the Soviet Union disliked from the movie "Ice Miracle". As a hockey player, I've seen this, and I am always interested in the lives of players other than this historical event. The winter boys talk about each player's story, how players like Neal Broten arrived at the Olympic team from the prairie town of Minnesota, and the backgrounds of these iconic players after the game. Wayne Coffey's novel crept into the 1980 US Olympic hockey team's coaches, dreams, and countless stories, so any hockey lover or sports fan must read. - Ben Zimmerman, 2020
