“Miracle on Ice” Olympic Gold Medalist Hockey Goalie Jim Craig “Miracle on Ice” Olympic Gold Medalist Hockey Goalie Jim Craig (born May 31, 1957, North Easton, Massachusetts) is an American ice hockey goaltender best known for his role in the historic 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. As a member of the U.S. hockey team, Craig helped lead the Americans to an unexpected gold medal victory in what became known as the "Miracle on Ice." The victory remains one of the most stunning upsets in Olympic history, with Craig, who started every game in goal, playing a pivotal role in the team’s success. At the start of the Olympics, the U.S. team was ranked 7th out of 12, while the Soviet Union, widely considered the best team in the world, were the overwhelming favorites. The Soviets had dominated international hockey, defeating an NHL All-Star team the previous year and thrashing the Americans 10–3 in an exhibition just days before the tournament. Between 1956 and 1992, the Soviet Union had an iron grip on the Olympic gold medal, with only the American teams of 1960 and 1980 breaking that dominance when the Winter Games were held in the U.S. Before joining the U.S. national team, Craig was an All-American goaltender at Boston University. Throughout the 1980 Olympic tournament, he played nearly every minute of every game. Craig helped the U.S. team pull off a series of surprising victories, often conceding an early goal but then shutting down opponents in the final period.
