Lake Plessidore is famous for hosting the 1932 Winter Olympics and the 1980 Winter Olympics, but Americans remember the village because of an American hockey game against the Soviet Union here in 1980, later known as the miracle on ice (MiracleonIce). A group of American college students and amateur players beat the popular Soviet national ice hockey team and won Olympic gold two days later. This victory is often listed as the greatest in American sports history. Eric Heiden won five Olympic gold medals here. The 1972 Winter World University Games was also held here.
