    • Abstract:
      The article reports that at the 2004 All-Star Game, a man brought his daughter into the Western Conference locker room for an autograph or two. The 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team pulled off its miracle 25 years ago, but the impact remains. There's a pay-it-forward element in the American hockey community: Players who were inspired by the '80 team have inspired the next generation of players. ESPN Classic is showing a documentary on the team and a game against the Soviet Union with Miracle on Ice— 25th Anniversary Special on Tuesday and the gold medal game against Finland on Thursday.
