MILWAUKEE – Today, to celebrate the anniversary of the “Miracle on Ice” Game, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled three officially licensed bobbleheads. The first bobbleheads feature of Herb Brooks and Jack O’Callahan, the head coach and key player of the gold-medal winning 1980 Winter Olympics U.S. hockey team that is famously known for its upset victory over the Soviet Union in the “Miracle on Ice” game on February 22, 1980. The third bobblehead features a generic Team USA player in the 1980 USA hockey jersey with a sticker pack that lets fans customize the jersey name and number as well as the logo on the top of the base. The special edition bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in collaboration with Official Herb Brooks and Jack O’Callahan licensee, LowSport.

Standing on a red, white, and blue base bearing his name in gold, the Herb Brooks bobblehead is wearing a plaid blazer with a brown tie, pants, and shoes. The backing of the bobblehead includes Brooks’ famous speech he delivered to his team prior to the “Miracle on Ice” game against the Soviet Union: “Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that’s what you have here tonight, boys. That’s what you’ve earned here tonight. … One game, if we played ‘em 10 times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with ‘em. Tonight, we stay with ‘em, and we shut them down because we can! Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world. … You were born to be players, every one of you. You were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done; it’s over. I’m sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw ‘em. This is your time! Now go out there and take it!” The bottom of the speech includes the coach’s signature, along with logos of USA Hockey and the Herb Brooks Foundation.

Positioned on a circular ice-like base bearing his name, the Jack O’Callahan bobblehead is on his knees with his arms raised in triumph. He is wearing a blue helmet and a white No. 17 USA sweater with his name on the back. This marks the first bobblehead of O’Callahan. The third bobblehead features a generic Team USA player in the 1980 USA hockey jersey with a sticker pack that lets fans customize the jersey name and number as well as the logo on the top of the base.

The bobbleheads, which are individually numbered to 1,980, are available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbleheads are expected to ship in July and are $40 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.
