He is absolutely adorable. Those eyes! What a cute story.

Oh I can't wait to switch to another computer to view the vid(the sound card on this one is messed up). I am still moved to tears by the story of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team and their success. I have a copy of the documentary here at the house and my (now 7 yo) nephew has been watching it with me since he was 5.

Thanks for sharing, Natal.

I was lucky enough to go to Boston University at the time of the Miracle....many of the players were from my school and lived in my dorm. I'm still proud of those guys. America needed that then. I'm just as starry-eyed as that boy about that team.

I was lucky enough to actually BE in the arena watching our team at the 1980 Winter Olympics, and witness the games that team USA played to win that well deserved gold metal. What a heartwarming, heart-thumping, delirious moment it was when the bell sounded the finish of that game! It was the most moving sports event I've ever seen and now, nearly 30 years later, people in LP talk about how that one victory felt like it was for all of America! Lake Placid is my hometown, and those young athletes really gave us all a reason to be proud!

Awwwwwww! Thanks for sharing that Natal!

I had not seen this, he's too cute; my dad will get a kick out of this one.
I'm always looking for fun things to send him.

Love it! That is beyond adorable!

Now he's motivating team USA! ;)
