There's A Bill Looking To Give Miracle On Ice Team Congressional Gold Medals And It Better Pass

It's been 44 years since the US Hockey Team stunned the all-conquering Soviet squad at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, and while the players earned themselves gold medals (after beating Finland, people forget that) they may soon be getting some gold medals of the Congressional variety.

You don't see a lot of bipartisan efforts in Congress anymore, but we've got one for something that anyone who loves this great country should be able to get behind: giving the Miracle on Ice team Congressional Gold Medals.

Congressman Pete Stauber, a Republican from Minnesota — the State of Hockey — introduced the Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act along with the bill's co-sponsors Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., Mike Quigley, D-Ill., and Bill Keating, D-Mass.

The bill would call for three gold medals to be produced that would then be displayed at three different locations around the country.
