LAKE PLACID, N.Y. --- Day Two of the third annual Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp got underway in Lake Placid, N.Y., today, Monday, March 27. Today, the 56 “campers” and several players from the famed 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team took to the Olympic Center’s Herb Brooks Arena ice to participate in team practice and evaluations. 

In addition to the practices and evaluations, the campers also toured the Lake Placid Olympic Museum, where many sat in front of the museum’s television to watch the “Miracle on Ice Game,” which can be viewed every day while the Museum is open. Today’s camp also included the draft, where players were broken into four teams (Red, White, Blue and Gold).

The “campers” were not the only players drafted. The draft’s second round included players from the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team, who will play alongside the campers Tuesday and Wednesday.

Games begin Tuesday, tomorrow, at 9 a.m. The medal round begins Wednesday at 2:30 p.m.
