Bill Gray’s Regional Iceplex announced yesterday that it has signed on as a Presenting Sponsor of this year’s Rochester Red Wings Relive the Miracle Night, set for August 19th.
This year’s event features an autograph appearance from Mike Eruzione — captain of Team USA in 1980 and the one who netted the game-winning goal vs. the Soviet Union sending the Americans to the gold medal game. Eruzione will be joined in Rochester by fellow Olympic teammates Neal Broten, Dave Christian and Mike Ramsey.
The Wings and Buffalo Bisons will wear special Team USA jerseys that night that will be auctioned off during the game to benefit the Red Wing’s Community Foundation. The four Olympians will sign autographs from 6:00pm to 6:45 p.m., and again from 7:15pm to 8:00p.m. They will also shoot first pitches prior to the 7:05 p.m. first pitch against the Buffalo Bisons. After the game, the members of Team USA will do an on-field interview for the crowd prior to a fireworks show set to music from 1980!
Throughout the game clips from Team USA’s dramatic win over the Soviets will be shown on the video board. More details of the night to follow.
