With Netflix Miracle on Ice doc coming, Mark Johnson had star role

“Miracle on Ice” remains a lingering light over any American triumph in the winter games. A Netflix documentary called “Miracle: The Boys of ’80” debuts Jan. 30 to again stir up the emotions of that incredible victory for the USA men’s hockey team over the Soviet Union in the medal round of the 1980 games.

It’s a triumph that almost certainly doesn’t happen without major contributions from Wisconsin.
