Description:

They were the first. The miracle before the miracle on ice. 1960 marked a time of transition. The Cold War was heating up. Television was introduced to the Olympics. Decades of Canadian hockey dominance were met by an emerging Soviet dynasty. In the middle of it all, a team of unheralded but talented Americans saw their chance for gold. Carpenters, insurance salesmen, firemen and servicemen by day, these men also happened to be America's greatest hockey players. And for two weeks in California, they were the best in the world. Together they achieved something that has still never been matched by an American hockey team: an unblemished record in an Olympiad. But for all the greatness of the 1960 US Olympic team, they remain a footnote in the history books. It's a triumph that could aptly be called a "Forgotten Miracle."

Great DVD. Was all that I hoped it would be. I remember this team and the players. Was great seeing it happen at the time and beable to relive if.

5Forgotten Miracle Remembered  May 06, 2010
Forgotten Miracle brought back memories of a world and sporting event from my youth. I still have a vague recall of watching the USA-USSR game on a grainy black and white television. I also remember the sense of pride in "beating the Russians." With no disrespect to the 1980 team, I have always felt that they have received more than their share of the glory. This DVD helps to balance the scales just a little.

I truly enjoyed the DVD. It would have only been enhanced if it was done in circa 1981. I would have liked to hear Mr. Brooks viewpoints. I wish there was more footage on the game and color commentary on the plays. Hats off to the team that put together this documentary. I really liked the way this story was told as well as seeing and hearing from greats like John Mayasich.

This is the perfect documentary for a hockey fan. The documentary, while lacking in actual footage does a wonderful job through personal interviews with the players, families, and hockey experts to tell the story of the 1960 USA hockey team. The documentary is also the perfect amount of time, allowing you to watch the whole thing in an hour and really let you know the story of the team. I would definitely recommend adding this to your DVD collection

5on my hockey all-star team  Feb 27, 2010
I have been a hockey parent, coach, collector and fan for over fifty years, and this wonderful DVD is a must-own for all you hockey pucks out there. It ranks right up there with the two DVDs "Pond Hockey" and "Golden: The Hobey Baker Story", plus the two books "Home Ice" and "Open Ice" by Jack Falla. I know the Cleary brothers, and "The Forgotten Miracle" shows how they and their 1960 teammates represent everything heroic and honorable about hockey in particular and athleticism in general. If they hadn't "set the table" back in 1960, I doubt if Herb Brooks and the "Do you believe in miracles" team of 1980 would ever have had its own success story. Have a box of tissues handy when you view this, or for that matter when you read or view the other four members of my "all-star" team.
