President Trump signed H.R. 452 awarding Congressional Gold Medals to the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey "Miracle on Ice" team in an Oval Office ceremony on Dec. 13, 2025. Attendees included captain Mike Eruzione, goalie Jim Craig, Bill Baker and Herb Brooks’ son Dan; the players wore their 1980 opening-ceremony hats and presented Trump a replica, with Eruzione thanking the president, Craig praising his "courage" and for "making our country safe again," and Baker saying the team feels renewed pride thanks to Trump's leadership.
