Hockey players dream of winning the Stanley Cup since they were little kids and now they have a chance. Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin both wear the letter C on their jersey and have both been to post season four times since they entered the league.

The HBO documentary Do You Believe In Miracles? The Story of the 1980 U.S. Men’s Hockey Team digs deep into the sociological process of sport and how that process propelled the United States Hockey past the powerful Soviet Union hockey dynasty to a gold medal. Even more than the process of socialization, the HBO Films documentary explores the American values during the years of the Cold War and how those values made the matchup against the Soviet Union ‘bigger than life’ for not just the players involved, but citizens of both countries.
