Language Creates Reality — Words count!

The rhetorical question, “Do you believe in Miracles?” was shouted by announcer Al Michaels in 1980, as a bunch of college kids playing for the US olympic hockey team defeated the Soviet Union’s team of professionals, and went on to win the Gold medal for the USA.

In 2004 I was invited to join the cast and crew of the Disney movie Miracle as a hockey expert, and eventually the Referee of the big game between the Soviets and the USA. I want to honour the man in the middle, Miracle’s Director, Gavin O’Conner, for allowing our hockey players to make the hockey real in this movie.
