President Donald Trump will honor the 1980 United States Olympic men’s hockey team that defeated the Soviet Union on its way to winning a gold medal in Lake Placid during the signing of the Congressional Gold Medal Act on Friday.
The team, which featured players fresh out of college, completed the “Miracle on Ice” with a stunning upset over the Soviets, who were considered the favorites and an international power for years.

Mike Eruzione, Jim Craig, Buzz Schneider and the widow and children of the late Herb Brooks are scheduled to attend.
