Kenny Morrow's 1980 US Olympic Hockey Gold Medal. It was like holding the holy grail.

45 years ago tonight, the US Hockey Team won Olympic gold and inspired a nation. So it was surreal to spend the evening with star defenseman Ken Morrow and my old pal Allan Kreda to celebrate their new book, Miracle Gold, about Ken's stellar career and to hold Ken's actual gold medal.

Not only a divine talent, but one of the kindest, sweetest people I've ever encountered. An immense loss to our world. RIP Ms. Flack.
