Jim Craig, goalie for the 1980 USA Olympic hockey team, parlayed his Gold Medal success into an impressive business career: President and Founder of Gold Medal Strategies Vice President of Sales and Business Development at Hat Trick Group Consultant for Walt Disney Pictures for production and filming of the movie, “Miracle.” “The 1980 United States Olympic Hockey Team will forever remain etched in our memories as one of the greatest sporting events of all-time. In fact, Sports Illustrated selected the team's victory over the Soviet Union en route to winning the gold medal as the No. 1 sports moment of the 20th century. It was a magical ride that happened amidst the backdrop of the Iranian hostage crisis and Soviet invasion of Afghanistan - events that made the now fabled "Miracle on Ice" even more impactful on American history. Jim Craig has been considered the backbone to this young team having a standout Olympic tournament. Stopping 36 of 39 shots on goal to help the US defeat the Soviets 4-3 sent the country into a frenzy and provided that American pride the nation needed at such a fragile time."
