History has framed the Miracle On Ice as one of those rare sporting achievements that transcend sport. The two hockey games that comprise the “miracle” – the 4-3 win over the mighty Soviets and the 4-2 gold medal clincher against Finland – are credited with lifting Americans from a decade of gloom and despair, reviving patriotism and foreshadowing a national renewal.

This show can be seen on TV every Christmas season. Then Ron Howard takes this short film and draws it out to be a two and a half-hour long movie. The worst aspect of the movie is that it makes a mockery of Seuss's main message: “Christmas doesn't come from a store.” This movie is all about selling, from those furry talking Grinch dolls to endless fast-food tie-ins.

The “Miracle on Ice,” where the United States defeated the Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York will forever be known as one of the greatest moments in American sports history.

The United States was suffering through Vietnam, Watergate, and the wrenching upheavals of the 1960s. Many believe this game was even the beginning of the end for the Cold War. The Soviet Union had won the gold medal in six of the seven previous Winter Olympic Games, and were the favorites to win once more in Lake Placid. The team consisted primarily of professional players with significant experience

The African American girl got leader punched into her ticket because she was the one that always knew what to do. The poor boy, Billy, also got believe because he didn’t think Santa was real either.

Ice hockey didn’t even exist in Costa Rica until 1996. A Canada native, Bruce Callow, helped hockey become a known sport in Costa Rica by making a plastic, makeshift hockey rink in the middle of the food court of the Real Cariari Shopping Center. "The rink was long and thin, and the pucks would sometimes fly off into the food court while people were eating," he told the Tico Times. The Real Cariari Shopping Center is home to the only ice skating rink in Central America. Bruce Callow was a major help in Costa Rica; he started hockey programs on synthetic ice in an amusement park in Belen and an abandoned warehouse in Santa

Film scenes don’t make itself come to life; this specific job is designated to the art director. The art director is Kelvin Humenny and this man help collaborate with the director and production designer to produce the overall look and feel of Elf (2003).

The lighting itself wasn’t overwhelming but just right and what people expect for Christmas decorations.

I was unable to find an activity that I liked and so I decided that I would make one when I get to Rowan. A couple of months ago I had my last Sled Hockey Banquet and if you don’t know what Sled Hockey is, I will explain it to you. Sled Hockey is a sport similar to Ice Hockey, but sitting down. This is for those who can’t play normal stand up Ice Hockey. There are these sleds with bars and blades under a bucket that support us and two mini Hockey sticks that help us move on the ice. This sport was everything to me and I will miss it and my goal is to try to make Sled hockey at rowan. I want to incorporate this to Rowan because I know some students are going to have the same issue as me and I want to change that. It doesn’t even have to be
