Hockey Gifts: Forgotten Miracle DVD
Everyone remembers the Miracle on Ice, the USA hockey team that went on to win gold at Lake Placid in 1980. But unless you're closing in on being a grandparent, you probably don't remember the first gold medal the USA ever won in hockey. The 1960 US Hockey Team is considered by some to be the best squad ever assembled, and the DVD Forgotten Miracle celebrates the 50th anniversary of this legendary team. If you have an older hockey fan in your family, or just anyone interested in the history of US hockey, this will make a great trip down memory lane.
