My favorite hero would have to be Jimmy Craig. He is the goalie that helped the United States win in the 1980 Winter Olympics. You may know about him from the Disney film "Miracle". One of the reasons I like him so much is that I too am a goalie. The interesting thing about him is that he was never the best goalie to play, but he was one of the most determined. The coach knew that there were better but as far as a team player, Jimmy was the best.
If you have never seen the movie, I highly recommend it. I think I've seen it over 20 times and I could watch it another 20. Hey, maybe one day we could watch it in here! Haha, just kidding. We probably won't have time this semester.
