By the way, the harshest thing I've heard recently that any parent has ever said to a kid, we were all inspired by the U.S.

hockey victory in the Olympics, prior victory in 1980.

The coach of that team, Herb Brooks, was cut from the 1960 U.S.

Olympic team.

That team goes on to win the gold medal while he's sitting there watching at home with his dad.

He was the last guy cut from the team.

And after they win the gold medal, his dad turns to him and said, son,

I think they cut the right guy.

Oh, that's terrible.

And this inspired him to be very tough on that team in 1980 and whip it into shape and win a gold medal another way.
