Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
As the U.S. men’s hockey team prepared to take the ice before its improbable win over the Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics, head coach Herb Brooks said a few words. His speech, or, more accurately, a Hollywood writer’s imagining of it, was dramatized by Kurt Russell in the 2004 film Miracle.
Russell did a fine job, but it wasn’t until the same words were spoken by Ronald McDonald in an inspirational speech to the Allen Americans, the Dallas Stars’ minor-league affiliate, that their true majesty was realized.
