Fantasy camp with 1980 hockey gold medalists starts Sunday

LAKE PLACID — Fourteen of the 19 remaining 1980 USA Hockey team players will be back in Lake Placid Sunday through Wednesday to participate in the third annual Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp.

Fifty-six campers are scheduled to participate in the four-day event at the Lake Placid Olympic Center, which includes lodging, tournament games, a bobsled ride, home and away replica 1980 USA Hockey game jerseys, a highlight video and “inside” stories from each of the Team USA players as they remember their Olympic experiences 37 years ago.

The camp is seen as an opportunity for participants to bond with players from the 1980 gold medal team. Olympic team players Bill Baker, Neal Broten, Dave Christian, Mike Eruzione, John Harrington, Steve Janaszak, Mark Johnson, Ken Morrow, Mike Ramsey, Buzz Schneider and Mark Wells are each back for a third year. Mark Pavlich, Eric Stroebel and the 1980 hockey team’s assistant coach Craig Patrick return for the second time.

Gary Smith, the team’s athletic trainer during the Games, and Jim Craig, the team’s backstop, will also participate for the first time. Craig last visited Lake Placid on Feb. 22, 2015, during the squad’s 35th anniversary celebration.

The camp costs $6,495 per person, plus $1,095 for a guest. Registration is closed.
