Description
“A wonderfully detailed enrichment of the greatest sports moment of the twentieth century. Wayne
Coffeyâ€s fresh perspective artfully takes a twenty-five-year-old story and advances it to the present with
an enhanced appreciation of that stunning, breathtaking, still too-amazing-to-believe accomplishment.―
—Al Michaels“The 1980 U.S. hockey team has been mythologized in print and on screen for almost
twenty-five years. Wayne Coffeyâ€s The Boys of Winter goes much deeper than that and, for the first
time, gives us a clear picture of who these remarkable boys—and men—were . . . and are. It is a very fine
book.― —John Feinstein “I celebrated my fifteenth birthday on the very day that the ‘Boys of
Winter†beat the Russians in Lake Placid. Wayne Coffey brilliantly weaves the behind-the-scenes story
that amplifies how improbable this ‘miracle†really was.― —Pat LaFontaine, NHL Hall of Famer
“The great stories can always be retold, but when they are retold with the emotion, the muscular prose,
the freshness that Coffey brings to the Miracle on Ice, they seem new.― —Robert Lipsyte, New York
Times, and author of The Contender “No matter how many times I hear the story of the U.S. Olympic
hockey teamâ€s heroics in Lake Placid in 1980, I want to hear it again. It is allegory, fable, wonderful
drama. Now Wayne Coffey comes to the campfire to tell the tale again, raising the requisite lumps in the
requisite throats, adding new details to the familiar pictures. Very nice work. Very nice, indeed.― —Leigh
Montville, author of Ted Williams“First came the Hollywood version of the Miracle on Ice. Now comes
the real story, rich in context and texture, as only a journalist and author like Wayne Coffey can report it and
tell it.― —Harvey Araton, New York Times “Meticulously researched, entertaining, and enlightening as
an example of sportswriting and social history, Wayne Coffey has re-created the event that would eventually
put the Cold War on ice. The Boys of Winter is the definitive book on a defining moment in American
culture.― —Jay Atkinson, author of Ice Time “Wayne Coffey re-creates the excitement of the unlikely
run the U.S. menâ€s hockey team made through the 1980 Olympics . . . an adventure that seems even
more unlikely now than it felt twenty-five years ago.― —Bill Littlefield, host of NPRâ€s Only a Game
and author of Fall Classics Once upon a time, they taught us to believe. They were the 1980 U.S. Olympic
hockey team, a blue-collar bunch led by an unconventional coach, and they engineered perhaps the greatest
sports moment of the twentieth century. Their 'Miracle on Ice' has become a national fairy tale, but the real
Cinderella story is even more remarkable. It is a legacy of hope, hard work, and homegrown triumph. It is a
chronicle of everyday heroes who just wanted to play hockey happily ever after. It is still unbelievable. 'The
Boys of Winter is an evocative account of the improbable American adventure in Lake Placid, New York.
Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews, Wayne Coffey explores the untold stories of the U.S. upstarts,
their Soviet opponents, and the forces that brought them together. Plagued by the Iran hostage crisis,
persistent economic woes, and the ongoing Cold War, the United States battled a pervasive sense of gloom
