Definitely not your mom.

Her dad owns/runs the cafe in the business park where my office is located. Super nice family...he even donated the catering for the day we complete my son's Eagle Scout project.

This was absurd. Man amongst boys.

So many emotional moments from these guys 45 years after the game. I was in college in 1980, so I'm around the same age as these guys, and just watching them, watching themselves from 45 years ago, bringing up memories that they might not have even remembered was very emotional. And the family stuff. So powerful.

My favorite part was the back up goalie. Great story and attitude.

Cochran comes from a huge skiing family in Vermont. While Ryan has won silver in two straight Olympics, a great accomplishment, his mom is the only Gold medalist in the family.

For those interested in some local ties to the Olympics and this USA Women's Team. Haley Winn from Rochester, Hayley Scamurra (Buffalo), Laila Edwarda from Cleveland, OH but played at Bishop Kearney in Rochester.

The Director/GM is from good ole, Hannibal, NY. She also happens to be my aunt who is more like a big sister. Went to Oswego State and spent many years in Lake Placid working for ORDA. Her other gig is being the manager for the 1980 Miracle on Ice, boy's. She has an incredible story and works her butt off... we are all very proud of her and keeping our fingers crossed that she could bring home a gold medal to CNY.

The US Women's Hockey team is on a mission! Absolute domination during group play, but we all know that does not always translate to the same end result. Although, US has won the past 7 games in a row against Canada which is a great sign.

Lots of talent coming through from the U16, U18, and College levels... future is very bright for women's hockey!

That's awesome, As an alumni of Oswego, I think the school will need to broadcast that, especially when they win the gold.

And, my only time in Hannibal was a visit to the transfer station there. I've only been to a few dumps in my life, but I can vouch for the Oswego County Transfer Station. It's very well run and organized. And clean.

I hope Oswego State does something to acknowledge it, I am sure they will.

I spoke with her briefly after the game yesterday and while they are very confident and buzzing from group play, they know they need to lock in and stay hungry. Canada always seems to find a way to best them when it really matters, so just breaking that would be a huge relief.

And they own one of the smallest mountains in the state. But tons of kids get their start on that mountain.

Side note, they’ve got some of the best mountain biking in the state at their mountain in the summer.

I had my 3rd surgery today and it was successful. Success today has a completely different meaning than it did a few days ago. I’m making progress and while it is slow, I know I’ll be ok. Thankful… | Lindsey Vonn | 1,290 comments

Congrats to the State of Vermont for three medals this Olympics. That says a lot about the great ski and snowboarding programs in the state. Looking at this list of Vermont medalists, the last two weren't from VT, but attended the Stratton Mountain School.

I remember when Bill Koch won his Silver medal. That was such a huge thing.

Wow only silver? They looked dominant in the team skates.

Given it’s not a sport a lot of every day folks have experience in or even spending time on skates the leg strength and conditioning required by these guys is insane and under appreciated.

Seems crazy that Shaun white retired in 2022, I remember his first Olympics like it was yesterday. Guess I’m getting old.
