Over the years, Ken Morrow has had literally thousands of people come up to him and tell him where they were, what they were doing and what it meant when the 1980 U.S. Olympic team won an improbable hockey game against the mighty Russians en route to an equally unlikely gold medal.

And that's part of the magic, no? That people aren't so much interested in having Morrow retell the story of that seminal hockey game -- people know it by heart -- as they are in sharing how the moment was made magical for them.

On Saturday night, Morrow and the surviving members of that Miracle on Ice team will reunite in the very building where history was made 35 years ago.

Jerseys with the players' names emblazoned on the back of the familiar red, white and blue are hung in the same dressing room in the arena that housed the players on the night they would defeat the Russians by a 4-3 count, prompting the hallmark question posed by broadcaster Al Michaels: "Do you believe in miracles?"

The answer, of course, is yes.
