Craig (b.1957) is a retired NHL goaltender who played 3 seasons with the
Atlanta Flames, Boston Bruins and Minnesota North Stars
between 1979 and 1984. Drafted 72nd overall in the 4th round of the 1977 Amateur
Draft, Craig became one of the most iconic goaltenders in the history of the
NHL when he backstopped for the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team in the "Miracle on Ice"
match against the Soviet Union. Impressively, Craig stopped 36 out of 39
shots taken at him during the game, and the U.S. defeated the Soviets 4-3 in
the greatest upset in sports history. The U.S. went on to defeat Finland for the
gold, and at just 22 years old, Craig became an Olympic Champion. He has
been elected to the ECAC First All-Star Team, NCAA East First All-American Team
and the Ice Hockey World Championships B Pool Tournament All-Star Team. In
1999, Craig was inducted into the International Hockey Hall of Fame.
