Two movies about the 1980 U.S. Men’s Hockey team’s “Miracle on Ice” — Miracle and Miracle: The Boys of ’80 — are available on streaming.
Both 2004’s Miracle and 2025’s Miracle: The Boys of ‘80 are based on the miracle victory the U.S. Men’s team scored over the Soviet Union 4-3 on Feb. 22, 1980, at the Lake Placid, N.Y., Winter Olympics in the Men’s Hockey semi-final. The U.S. team went on to defeat Finland, 4-2, two days later on Feb. 24, 1980, to win the gold medal.
The U.S. Men’s Team did not win another gold medal until Sunday, when the 2026 U.S. Men’s team scored a 2-1 overtime victory over Canada. What made the victory all the more poignant is that it took place on the 45th anniversary of the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” game against the Soviets.
The U.S. Men’s victory capped off a monumental week for the Americans, as the U.S. Women’s hockey team also defeated Canada2-1, on Thursday.
Replays of both the U.S. Men’s and Women’s gold medal games at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics are streaming on Peacock, as well as both Miracle and Miracle: The Boys of ’80.
