The U.S. men's hockey team is as young as it's been in decades. But they still have their eyes set on gold.
The United States men’s hockey team may be light on years, but it’s heavy on determination.
University of Michigan sophomore Matt Beniers, who, at 19, is the youngest player on the team, says age is not important. The team is also aware of the 1980 hockey team, whose story was chronicled in the 2004 Kurt Russell movie “Miracle.”“Every single really hockey player in the in the United States has watched that movie and kind of knows what, you know, that team had to go through,” Brock Faber, a sophomore at the University of Minnesota, told TODAY.
“You got older guys, and they’ve been around the block. I think it also brings a nice calming presence on the ice and in the locker room,” Beniers said.
