For the Love of the Game

Faces of joy. Some are still in high school, others war veterans. They are our U.S. Hockey team. Gold medalists all.

At a time when we read about athletes signing for millions of dollars, there are others who hope to see a fraction of that in their sporting lives.

But ask these athletes what's better? Gold. The kind of medal that's earned after coming back from life's setbacks. These are athletes who deserve our attention, and praise. For today, these young athletes, clad in red, white, and blue, took to the ice and accomplished their one goal.

Fitting they won, 1-0, over a good Russian team ... on Sochi ice.

Look at these faces. Can you see the joy?

Did you notice their sleds?
