Still recognized as arguably the greatest upset in sporting history despite the 40-year vintage, the US men’s Olympic hockey team shocked both the Soviets and the world at large with their epic victory over the powerhouse Russians at the 1980 Winter Olympics, forever remembered as the “Miracle on Ice”. Captured by photographer Bill Greene, this framed team-signed 16” x 20” print of the immediate moment after the final buzzer is the main item offered here along with a framed official 1980 Lake Placid Olympics poster. The celebration picture has been signed by 20 members of the iconic team including Jim Craig, Mike Eruzione, Ken Morrow, Neal Broten, Mike Ramsey, Mark Johnson, Phil Verchota, Mark Wells, Steve Christoff, Dave Christian and others with the autographs displaying with some fading from age but all are still easily legible. Framed to full dimensions of 27 ½” x 23 ½”, the intricate wooden frame shows moderate wear to the corners and edges while the photo inside able to move and in need of being properly reset. Also included is a framed poster from those famous 1980 games.
