Arguably the greatest upset in sports history will celebrate its 45th anniversary Saturday.

On Feb. 22, 1980, the United States men's hockey team stunned the mighty Soviet Union 4-3 in the Winter Olympic semifinals in Lake Placid, N.Y., a moment forever immortalized as the "Miracle on Ice."

With the Four Nations finals bringing international hockey to the forefront of culture again this week, cllct counts down 10 of the top items from the "Miracle on Ice" to ever sell at public auction.

1. Lake Placid "Miracle On Ice" hockey rink

The actual hockey rink boards from the 1980 Winter Olympics sold for $8,784.60 in 2016. Included in the lot were the boards, glass, benches and penalty box.

The rink was used for a few years after the Olympics and then stored in a facility in Minnesota for two decades before being sold at auction.

Dubbed “the key artifact of the greatest underdog story ever told,” team captain Mike Eruzione’s jersey sold in 2013 for $657,250 at Heritage Auctions.

Eruzione’s stick, which scored the winning goal against the Soviets, sold for $262,900 in 2013.

Heritage wrote at the time, ”If the Miracle on Ice was the greatest David and Goliath tale in American sports, then this is the sling that launched the fatal blow.”
