As a hockey player who grew up just a short drive from where the Miracle on Ice occurred during the 1980 Winter Olympic Games, it should come as no surprise that I’m a big fan of the Winter Olympics. This week I’m sharing three resources for learning about the Winter Olympics across virtually all subjects.
