    Delson, Quebec, Canada (PRWEB) February 08, 2012

    The Miracle on Ice. One of history’s most incredible underdog stories was fashioned 32 years ago by a hockey team composed of young Americans at the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, N.Y.

    Ken Morrow wore his country’s red, white and blue colors with pride and passion as he and his United States teammates stunned the world by upsetting the powerhouse Soviet national team, who were considered a shoe-in to claim their fifth straight Olympic gold medal. This historic “Morrow” Team USA number 3 game-worn jersey is the one Ken was wearing during the “Miracle on Ice” game, the unforgettable 4-3 win over the U.S.S.R. on February 22, 1980 that paved the way for the Americans to claim gold two days later on home ice.

    Classic Auctions is honored to offer the Ken Morrow Collection, which also features the U.S. Olympic team track suit Ken wore at the gold medal ceremony in Lake Placid as well as game-used “Miracle on Ice” equipment, including the rugged defenseman’s skates. The auction will close exceptionally on Wednesday, February 22, 2012, in honor of the 32nd anniversary of this landmark event in international hockey history.
