Apr 26, 2024 · Broten and Canadian goaltender Ed Belfour are the only two players in hockey history to win an NCAA championship, Olympic gold medal and Stanley Cup championship. Broten played 17 seasons in the NHL, where he scored over 50 points nine times and played over 1,000 games, including a 105-point season in 1985-86, when he became the first American ...
Feb 12, 2018 · Nearly 40 years since the game against the Soviet Union, the 1980 U.S. men’s hockey team still relishes in the accolade. In 2000, the Associated Press called their victory over their Russian...

Emily Kaplan:Great moments are born from great opportunity. Greg Wyshynski:Holy smokes, hockey can look that good? Again! [whistle] Again!
Kaplan: Early during player tryouts, Jim Craig asks Jack O'Callahan if there was a reason Joe Mullen wasn't trying out. "Yeah, about 30,000 of 'em sitting in his New York bank account," O'Callahan says. Mullen, one of the greatest American-born NHL players ever, had just graduated from Boston College. He was undrafted and unaffiliated, and was actu...
Kaplan:Honestly, it's all of the camera angles for the on-ice action. The filmmakers really took advantage here, as the cameras showed us perspectives a typical television broadcast can't. Bill Baker's last-minute goal in the opening Olympic game against Sweden, which earned the U.S. a tie, stood out. We get to see a closeup of the puck on the pass...
Kaplan:Well, it's not exactly my favorite, but my answer here is "the wet blanket wife." Patricia Clarkson does a fine job portraying Patti Brooks, Herb Brooks' wife. Her function in the movie, however, is to hover and nag and ground our protagonist who has life-changing aspirations. The dynamics of being married to a coach are always complicated, ...
Kaplan:Loved seeing television footage recapping the 1979 Challenge Cup -- when the NHL replaced its All-Star Game in 1979 with an exhibition series between top NHL players and the Soviet national team. I thought about this event a lot when I went to Moscow for the KHL All-Star Game in January and how cool it would be to stage a crossover event bet...
Kaplan:Mike Mantenuto, who played Jack O'Callahan. His performance in this movie is great, but it also haunts me. Mantenuto was a former college hockey player himself at Maine, and this is his most high-profile role as an actor. About six years after filming, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served as a Special Forces soldier. In 2017, at age 35, h...
Kaplan: Two options here. I wouldn't mind seeing a movie version of the Vegas Golden Knights' inaugural season -- really leaning into the whole Golden Misfits narrative. The stakes aren't quite as high, but there's enough interesting characters and against-all-odds build up to make a good film. An inside-the-war-room (dramatized) depiction of the e...
Kaplan:The most famous scene in this movie is of course Kurt Russell's locker room speech before the big game against the Soviets in the Olympics. It's stirring, it's powerful, and it includes five or so chunk quotes that have been quoted ad nauseam -- including by yours truly. But I want to know, how authentic was the speech compared to what Brook...

- Patrick Kane. Age: 35. 1,578 votes. Spectacularly skilled with the puck and blessed with exceptional vision on the ice, Patrick Kane has solidified his place as one of the best American-born hockey players ever since joining the NHL in 2007.
- Mike Modano. Age: 53. 1,157 votes. As the highest-scoring American-born player in NHL history, Mike Modano was known for his blazing speed and laser-guided passing that left defenders grasping at straws.
- Chris Chelios. Age: 62. 906 votes. Iron man Chris Chelios played an astounding 26 seasons in the NHL, building a reputation as one of the sport's toughest and most durable defensemen.
- Brett Hull. Age: 59. 1,028 votes. Armed with one of the most lethal shots in hockey history, Brett Hull terrorized opposing goaltenders with his lightning-quick release and pinpoint accuracy.
As of the year 2015, there are over 2,000 ice rinks in the United States alone (United States, 2008). There are now 32 teams participating in the NHL, with 25 in the United States and 7 in Canada. As of spring 2014, the United States has won 16 Olympic medals (gold, silver, and bronze) total.
