Though not a major motion picture, and not actually about a given team,
"Miracle on Ice" was a nice movie. It was about the 1980 Olympic Gold
medal team. When I saw it recently, I was expecting a "campy, over
acted, melodramatic, 1980s TV movie about a historic event" but was
pleasantly surprised. It blended actual footage of the team and their
games with that of the actors. It was surprisingly well done. At the end
of the movie ABC sports does a ten minute article showing the real life
players accepting their medals and talking about what each did after the
games. Ken Marrow and Mark Wells earn one of the only plugs for their
university when the narrator (he's famous, and still on the air, but I
forget his name) mentions that "Mark Wells, who played college hockey at
Bowling Green. . ."
Given the amount of real life footage included, it was very entertaining.
