Rahimi & Grote Show · Jack O’Callahan reflects on U.S. men's hockey team winning Olympic gold · 23 Feb 2026 podcast

it was just a whole different time, right?

I mean, Americans weren't in the NHL.

They weren't really well-respected sort of in the genre of like world hockey.

And we really, you know, we broke through that glass ceiling.

What we did in 1980, you know, created opportunities, not just for some of the guys on our team, but for the guys going forward, you know, Chris Chelios, Eddie Olachuk, you know, Keith Kachuk, and

And, you know, go forward for that, right?

Mike Madonna.

And then you move into the Patrick Kane world.

And then these guys, you know, Jack Eichel and the Kachuk kids and the Hughes kids and on and on, right?

So for us, it's like, you know, we were the descendants of 1980.

I mean, 1960, right?

Those guys won a gold medal in Squaw Valley.

And, you know, we knew all those guys.

And we looked to them always.

You know, we were sort of standing on the shoulders of the guys that came before.

guys really embracing our story uh you know they've grown up watching the movie miracle and hearing all about us for all these years and it's been a big motivator for all these usa hockey kids to you know to come out and play with the passion and emotion that we had in 1980 and they certainly did that um that's probably the one uh real similarity is

is the way they came together as a team and the way they play with passion and emotion and their pride and their USA on the front of their jerseys and playing for, you know, everybody that had done so much for them in their lives.

I mean, you see these kids talk after the game and the emotion that was coming out and how they handled themselves and how they handled the victory and how proud they were of, you know, what it took to get there, you know, not just... They understood.

They understood.

It wasn't just them.
