The opening ceremonies in Milan-Cortina are complete, and the Winter Olympic Games have begun, and what better way to celebrate the Winter Olympics than to be joined by Dan Brooks, son of 1980 USA Hockey coach Herb Brooks. Find a comfy chair, and maybe a blanket like King would use if he were sitting in Billy G’s living room, because this pod has some stories. Listen to the behind the scenes stories from Dan, who at the time was just a 7th grade rink rat running around the olympic facilities, bumping elbows and asking for autographs, while the hockey world was changing right before his eyes. There is nothing more special to a hockey fan, than reliving the 1980 Miracle On Ice from someone who lived it. What a magical experience, and magical stories from Dan. King and Carts have a pretty great breakdown of this years opening ceremonies, along with their experiences at various football parties yesterday.

Yeah Mounds View! The school is three times as big as when I went there. They have a huge football field need an ice rink so they don't have to skate in Vadnais Heights.
Absolutely love this podcast this week! Irondale grad of 81 here and my high school was at the high school hockey tournament all 3 years! I remember exactly where I was when US beat the Russian team and I've always been a hockey fan! Only sport I watched. Mounds view and Irondale huge rivals
