Congress will honor the “Miracle on Ice” Team USA hockey squad that upset the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympics on their way to an improbable gold medal.

The House of Representatives passed the “Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act,” which will award members of the illustrious hockey team with Congressional Gold Medals. The bill will go to President Donald Trump’s desk to sign.

“The ‘Miracle on Ice’ team represents everything our country is about: grit, determination, perseverance, and hope,” Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital. “Their historic win 45 years ago was more than a dramatic upset in the world of sports — it became a defining moment of unity in our nation’s history and inspired us all to believe in miracles again. 

“I look forward to seeing this bill signed into law by President Trump and am grateful to my colleague, Representative (Peter) Stauber, for ensuring this team receives the Congressional recognition they deserve.”

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., also released a statement on the act’s passage.

“It is an incredible honor to represent Lake Placid, where the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men’s Hockey Team pulled off one of the greatest sports upsets in world history,” Stefanik said. “The American defeat of the Soviet Union during the Cold War was a triumph of perseverance, unity, and spirit, not only for the athletes on the ice but for all Americans. 

“As we commemorate the (45th) anniversary of this legendary victory, I am proud to lead this bipartisan effort to ensure that their extraordinary achievement is properly recognized. This legislation will ensure that future generations will never forget the legacy of the ‘Miracle on Ice.’”

On Feb. 22, 1980, the Americans pulled off one of the biggest upsets in history when the ragtag group of mostly college hockey players defeated the Soviets 4-3.

Broadcaster Al Michaels put the exclamation point on the game with one of the most famous calls in sports history.

The U.S. then defeated Finland to win the gold medal. It’s the last time the U.S. has won gold in ice hockey.
