Own a Cover Commemorating Team USA’s Historic 1980 Olympic Hockey Victory
The 1980 Men’s Olympic Hockey Team was an upstart squad that many didn’t expect to be a factor against the experienced European and Canadian squads. Instead, the scrappy US college players surprised everyone by advancing to the medal round. It was a fine achievement, but one they weren’t expected to improve upon. Standing in their way was the powerhouse Soviet team that had won the gold medal in the previous four Olympics and were widely considered to be the best in the world.
On February 22, 1980, the US men’s hockey team scored an unexpected victory over the Soviets, an event dubbed the “Miracle on Ice” and considered one of the most memorable moments of those games and in all of sports history. Team USA went on to defeat Finland 4-2 two days later to win the gold medal.
Now you can own a limited-edition cover commemorating this historic win. It features the 1980 Winter Olympics Hockey stamp with a pictorial cancel and a cachet picturing headlines celebrating the victory. A great piece of sports and Olympic history – send for yours now.
