February 24, 1980 - A moment I will never forget🥇🇺🇸 “We should be dreaming. We grew up as kids having dreams, but now we’re too sophisticated as adults, as a nation. We stopped dreaming. We should always have dreams.” -Herb Brooks

Herb later reflected, “This was a real genuine love affair by young people that respected one another. That was the period, the chapter, the verse — the end of the story for me, right then.” It was for me, too.🥇🇺🇸

All the sacrifices that had led to that moment compounded in overwhelming emotion, and I knew I could never have realized my Olympic dream without the love and support of my parents and my family.

Al & Ken perfectly captured the magnitude of the moment. The Games aren’t just about hockey—they’re about proving what is possible. The pressure, the uncertainty, the belief—it all came down to those minutes on the ice. Grateful for their voices that helped tell our story.

Herb Brooks built more than a team—he built a brotherhood. His vision wasn’t just about winning games, but about uniting players under a shared purpose. It was never about "I, me, myself"—it was about us. That spirit made all the difference. #HerbBrooks #MiracleOnIce #TeamFirst

Had an amazing day with the Catholic University Women’s Lacrosse Team at USOPM! We explored the museum, discussing mindset, winning, and teamwork, then wrapped up with an inspiring panel by the 1980 Lake Placid scoreboard. What an inspiring group of teammates and leaders!
