Everyone born after 1980 missed out. Or if you were too young to remember or didn’t manage to watch for some reason, you missed out. I was eight but I remember that run like it was yesterday. I wanted to play on the Olympic Hockey team one day but then my family moved to Florida before they had ice rinks and that was that.*

If you want to rehash it, track down the HBO documentary not the Disney movie. Or here’s some grainy footage on YouTube.
