He's also an entrepreneur in a life that has always been on the go.Chris Chelios drops by for a fun chat with Neil and Vic IN THIS EPISODE:[01:38] - The Happy Gilmore 2 experience where Chris played a non-speaking role as a henchman alongside fellow NHLer Sean Avery.[04:07] - Chris shares the story of when Avery moved into his house when the two were UHL teammates during the 2004-05 NHL lockout. That Avery wasn't the ideal house guest would be an understatement.[06:06] - Aside from the final seven games of his NHL career as a member of the Atlanta Thrashers, Cheli shares the significance of playing the other 1644 games with three of the "Original Six" teams, Montreal, Chicago and Detroit.[09:21] - How Cheli wound up with number 7 in Chicago with some additional backstory on him wearing 24 in Detroit.[10:34] - Playing for Scotty Bowman and Mike Keenan[13:46] - Cheli trashes Keenan's office.[15:36] - With the Winter Olympics coming up in Italy in 2026, Chris talks about the differences competing as an olympic amateur in 1984 on the heels of the "Miracle on Ice" team and as a professional in 1998, 2002 and 2006. He also notes that though many on that 1980team did not have star careers, the doors that opened for Americans because of that group were immeasurable.[18:08] - Returning to Chicago and Wrigley Field to throw out the first pitch and sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."[21:11] - Having owned restaurants and having his own brand of Chili, Cheli talks about his venture into tequila.[23:18] - What's next for Chris Chelios?[25:32] - Looking back, despite not having won a Stanley Cup in Chicago, seeing Patrick Kane's overtime winner in 2010 to give the Blackhawks their first championship since 1961 still rings special for Cheli. [29:37] - Having played with so many players over 26 NHL seasons and international tournaments, there's still two players Chris would have like to have played just one game with...[31:17] - Returning to thoughts on Messier, Chris tells the story of accidently clipping him with his stick and then happening to Google Mess top elbows.

(Aug 6, 2025) After announcing plans to step down last week, Assemblyman Billy Jones of Chateaugay Lake will head to Clinton Community College to lead workforce development initiatives; we join dive crew for a behind-the-scenes look at how they suction milfoil from Lake George; a five-year plan is underway to create a life-size bronze statue depicting all twenty players of the 1980 Miracle on Ice hockey team; and Chef Curtiss brings a shrimp and grits recipe. 

What does it take to bring out the best in a group of individuals and transform them into something greater than the sum of their parts? In this episode of our school-related movie review series, we dive into Miracle (2004), the powerful retelling of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team's unbelievable upset over the Soviet Union. It's a story of vision, discipline, belief, and building a culture of excellence—all themes that deeply resonate in the world of education today. Joining us for this conversation is Bryan Benway, someone who brings a unique and dynamic perspective to the table. Bryan grew up near Lake Placid, the very town where this historic miracle on ice took place. He spent years as a hockey broadcaster in the Central Hockey League and now serves as Director of Marketing at Bartlett Cocke General Contractors—one of the most respected education-focused construction firms in Texas. But before transitioning into construction, Bryan spent several impactful years in public education as the Director of Communications for Boerne ISD, where his leadership earned the district nearly 50 statewide awards. With a career that has spanned storytelling, school communications, sports broadcasting, and educational construction, Bryan is the perfect guest to help us explore the parallels between Miracle and the everyday work of school leaders and educators. From coaching a team to believe in themselves, to navigating doubt, adversity, and pressure with resilience—Miracle is more than just a sports film. It's a reflection of what great educational leadership looks like: setting a clear vision, building trust, and pushing students and teams to achieve more than they ever thought possible.   Takeaways: Coach Herb Brooks wasn't looking for the best players—he was looking for the right ones. In schools, it's not always about the top-performing individuals, but about how the team works together to support every student. Brooks had a bold and unconventional vision, and he never wavered from it. Strong educational leaders similarly need to set a clear direction, especially when leading change or overcoming obstacles. The infamous “Again!” scene shows how accountability and pushing through discomfort can prepare teams for real-world pressure. In classrooms and school systems, structure and consistent expectations help students and staff thrive. Brooks told his players, “Great moments are born from great opportunity.” Educators create those moments every day—when they believe in students, when they champion a struggling learner, or when they stand up for what's right. The miracle happened in Lake Placid—a town with deep personal roots for our guest, Bryan Benway. It's a reminder that the spaces we create (in schools, stadiums, or communities) can hold meaning and inspire greatness when people feel connected to them.   About Bryan Benway: Bryan Benway brings nearly 20 years of award-winning experience in communications to his role as Director of Marketing at Bartlett Cocke General Contractors. Since joining the company in October 2024, he has led the Marketing Department to earn the SMPS San Antonio People's Choice Award for the 2024 holiday card design. Prior to Bartlett Cocke, Bryan served as Director of Communications for Boerne ISD, where his leadership earned the district nearly 50 awards from the Texas School Public Relations Association (TSPRA). His individual accolades include being named a 2020 Hill Country 40 Under 40 honoree by the Economic Development Corporation and receiving the Schreiner University Rising Star Award in 2016. Bryan's diverse background also includes serving as District Director for Texas State Representative Kyle Biedermann and as a National Host for Yahoo! Sports Radio, where he hosted a nightly talk show broadcast on more than 800 stations nationwide, including SiriusXM.   Learn More About Bryan Benway: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryan-benway-50b8b073/   Learn More About Bartlett Cocke General Contractors: Website: https://www.bartlettcocke.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bartlett-cocke-general-contractors/     Connect with host, Kevin Stoller: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinstoller/   Learn More About Kay-Twelve: Website: https://kay-twelve.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kay-twelve-com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kay_twelve/     Episode 244 of the Better Learning Podcast Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com  2004 a movie came out called Miracle on ice. The story of the 1980 US Hockey team that beat the Soviets to win Gold. Herb Brooks was the COACH… NORWAY TIE Again… Again… Again… BLUE LINE, RED LINE, BLUE LINE, TO THE WALL AND BACK They were nicknamed “Herbies”  It was to demand the most out of his players and find out which ones had it emotionally and mentally not just physically.  He wanted to find the right players and not the best players….  What many of the players did not realize was Herb had a degree in Psychology… he understood what it took to get the most out of his players… HE PERFECTED HIS COACHING STYLE FROM HIS OWN PAIN - he was the last one cut from the roster to make the 1960 Olympic team which won a gold. He was thought to be not as gifted, fast, conditioned  or experienced as the others on the team.    During the season of prep for the Olympics the team hated Herb. He was their enemy…  NOT REALIZING THAT THIS WAS ON PURPOSE TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN HIS PLAYERS.  He had players from Boston who hated the skaters from ND and the like…    TODAY WE SEE THE LIFE OF MARK OR JOHN MARK  He was surrounded by some Herb Brooks By the names of the Apostle Paul and Peter… not easy guys to be around… especially for Mark or John Mark as he was actually called. John Mark was educated, came from a wealthy family, had privilege and was probably a little bit of a whiner. Paul had a falling out with Barnabas because he did not want to travel with Mark… BTW Mark and Barnabas were cousins…   

In the fifty-ninth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Steve Bennett and James Gruenberg to discuss which Sports Moments deserve a place on their respective lists. Is the Miracle on Ice a no-brainer? What about the Saints winning Super Bowl XLIV? Does the David Tyree helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII grab a spot? Does the Michael Jordan buzzer beater in the 1998 NBA Finals or the Cubs winning the 2016 World Series deserve a place?   After that, they discuss which Sports Calls will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that "Do You Believe in Miracles?" shouldn't get a spot? Will "Behind the Bag" be included? Is "May Day, May Day, May Day" in the conversation? What about "The Red Sox are World Champions" or "Havlicek Stole the Ball"?   Prior to that, the trio pay tribute to the memory of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, and Hulk Hogan.

BONUS: Beyond Individual Talent: 2 Leadership Myths We all Believed in with Arne Roock In this BONUS episode, we delve into the complexities of team effectiveness with Arne Roock, an experienced Agile consultant who has worked with organizations ranging from startups to large corporations. Arne shares his insights on what truly makes teams perform at their highest level, why simply assembling talented individuals isn't enough, and how organizations can move beyond the "feature factory" mindset to focus on outcomes and impact. The Myth of Individual Talent in Teams "A team of experts is not an expert team." Arne breaks down the common misconception that placing highly talented individuals together automatically creates a high-performing team. Drawing parallels from sports, he points to examples like the "Red Army" hockey team and the famous "Miracle on Ice," where team cohesion proved more valuable than individual star power. Through his consulting work, Arne observed that quick-fix workshops often produced short-term improvements but failed to create lasting change. Sometimes, teams even deteriorated after temporary interventions. This led him to Richard Hackman's work on team effectiveness, particularly the 60-30-10 rule: leaders should spend 60% of their time designing teams, 30% launching teams, and only 10% on coaching interventions. Coaching alone cannot change a team's trajectory without proper design and launch Leaders should engage with coaches at the beginning of team formation Teams need sufficient stability to achieve meaningful impact Existing teams can be relaunched or redesigned to improve performance In this segment, wer refer to Richard Hackman's 6 conditions for effective teams, and to Margaret Heffernan's Superchicken Paradox Ted Talk, and to the episode with Heidi Helfand about Re-teaming. Balancing Delivery Focus with Team Development "Organizations trends go in waves." Arne discusses the pendulum swing in organizational approaches, noting how Agile emerged as a countermovement to process-centric methodologies. Currently, he observes a strong emphasis on delivery, with many organizations repositioning Scrum Masters as delivery leads. This trend, while addressing immediate business needs, often undermines the fundamental team-building aspects of the Scrum Master role. Arne suggests that we need to find balance between delivery pressure and people-centered approaches, treating these as polarities to manage rather than problems to solve. In this segment, we refer to the book Polarity Management by  Barry Johnson, and to Arne's blog post about cross-functional teams. Moving Beyond the Feature Factory "Delivery manager will undermine team responsibility." When organizations want to shift from deadline-driven development to outcome-focused work, Arne recommends examining team design fundamentals first. He cautions that adding delivery managers won't fix teams that haven't been properly designed and launched. Most organizations operate as "feature factories," focusing on output rather than outcomes. Arne suggests two high-impact practices that can help teams deliver more value: Implementing meaningful sprint goals and effective sprint reviews Using OKRs with specific checks on value delivered, not just features completed Arne emphasizes that the Scrum Master role is a full-time position, and when they're pushed to prioritize delivery management, important team-building work gets neglected. Proper team design creates the foundation for shared delivery ownership without requiring additional management roles. In this segment, we talk about an article that explains how to use OKR's with a “value-check” included.  About Arne Roock Arne works as a consultant for Agile methods and (leadership) team effectiveness. As a trainer and coach he supported both startups and big corporations in different industries. For the past ten years he took a deep dive into the tech industry as an embedded coach with Jimdo and Spotify. You can link with Arne Roock on LinkedIn and connect with Arne Roock on Mastodon.

In 1980, the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team became memorable underdogs -- securing a shocking, yet symbolic win against the Soviets that has since been remembered as "The Miracle on Ice."

Bleav Hosts Robert Land & Stephen Kerr share their memories of the Miracle on Ice on its 45th anniversary. Did a Houston Sports Radio Host and Oilers voice coin the term 'Miracle on Ice'? Did Team USA & the Soviets play in Houston before the Olympics? You'll hear the Houston connections & much more in this special tribute. Go check out Underdog Fantasy

Episode 244 - We discuss the Birds offseason, PFF top 101 with 11 Birds in the top 100, Four Nations Final, we relive the Miracle on Ice 45 years later, and a new wrinkle we look back at 1989 and take the top 12 for a ficticious NCAA Football playoff. All that and the usual fun!

It's been 45 years since the Miracle on Ice?!? That's insane. Back in 2010, for the hockey game's 30th anniversary, we did a pretty damn good job honoring one of the greatest upsets in Olympic history. The episode features former co-host Sean Daly and St. Pete Times sports columnist Tom Jones. Enjoy the memories.

We'll be back with a brand new edition of TV Confidential later this week. In the meantime, please enjoy this clip from February 2015 in which Tony, Donna, and Ed remember the Miracle on Ice, the U.S. men's hockey team's win over the Soviet Union's men's hockey team in the medal-round game on Feb. 22, 1980 during the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.

Jason Fraley marks the 45th anniversary of the "Miracle on Ice" where the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team upset the Soviet Union on Feb. 22, 1980. He spoke with Chicago filmmaker Gabe Polsky, the son of Ukrainian immigrants, about his acclaimed hockey documentary “Red Army” in 2015. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")

In the second hour, Steve Rosenbloom was joined by USA Hockey gold medalist Jack O'Callahan to reflect on the 45th anniversary of the "Miracle on Ice" and to share his favorite memories of the great game. Later, Julia Poe of the Tribune joined the show to discuss the floundering Bulls.

If you saw this past weekend's Saturday Night Live anniversary special, you may have noticed how tightly packed the studio was. Now Steve Martins says least two of the big stars tested positive for Covid-19. A skit during the show actually joked about the possibility. And there hasn't been a hockey game so political since the U.S. faced off against the Soviet Union in the 1980 “Miracle on Ice.” Last night's match up between the U.S. and Canada was preceded by plenty of bluster by President Trump - and though it was a close one, in the end, Canada won. And that's given Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plenty of ammo to fire back at Mr. Trump. Plus, Elon Musk was seen swinging a giant chainsaw at the CPAC Convention. His dramatic appearance comes as the mother of three of his children is desperately trying to get his attention. She says he's not responding to her texts or emails - so now she's resorting to social media. And scores of people lined up outside a Manhattan court today for a seat inside court for an appearance by suspected HealthCare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione. And inside there were cheers for Mangione's lawyers. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike Eruzione discusses if he believes the 4 Nations Face-Off should be here to stay, how much hockey in the United States has grown and if he still thinks about the "Miracle on Ice."

4 Nations Face-Off has been a huge success for the NHL. Can hockey continue to find replacements for its All-Star game? From Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama's elimination from the Skills Challenge for cutting corners to an Dunk Contest 3-peat by a non-NBA player to a revamped All-Star Game format, NBA All-Star weekend was a flop. Can it be fixed or should it just be nixed? Suits: LA is coming to NBC. We're talking with the show's biggest stars. We'll go down memory lane ahead of the 45th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice with someone who was in the arena in Lake Placid that day in 1980. And, the Albany FireWolves are hosting a Women in Sports Panel ahead of Saturday's home game.

Do you believe in miracles? With a chance to steal the hockey crown from the Canadians, the NHL's 4 Nations Face-Off championship takes place today, with the USA All-Star team hosting the Canadian All-Star team. Joining Jason today is special guest Jon Root, a faith, sports, and culture commentator. Jason and Jon discuss the rising popularity of what could be the biggest hockey match since the Miracle on Ice, as well as the growing prominence of white excellence in sports and former NFL punter Chris Kluwe's recent liberal meltdown, which resulted in his arrest. Next, Steve Kim joins the show to discuss the slight discord brewing at the University of North Carolina between the basketball and football programs. It seems the recent hiring of Bill Belichick has ruffled the feathers of those who claim the basketball program receives unfair treatment. Also on the docket is yet another laughable NBA All-Star solution, this time centered around paying homage to the Harlem Globetrotters in their 100th-anniversary season next year. Wrapping up the show is our "Fearless" first lady, Shemeka Michelle, who weighs in on Dr. Umar's recent claim that President Barack Obama was a plant to push the LGBTQ narrative in the black community, as well as Lizzo's latest weight transformation. Is there a cute woman behind all that extra girth? A great show you don't want to miss. Tune in! We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ever tried to choose which two 80's Pop albums/cassettes you'd be willing to part with? That's the musical dilemma we tackled in this week's episode of "Music in My Shoes." Our journey starts with a random list of 28 cassettes, that Jimmy and I dive headfirst into, looking for the first 2 out and the first 2 in. Music is subjective and deeply personal, and our lively debate underscores just that as we reflect on the albums we just can't let go. Play along with us, with the list below.And that's not all—we also take you through our top five Super Bowl halftime shows, a list packed with electrifying memories from Michael Jackson's game-changing performance to U2's heartfelt tribute to 9/11. Each show left a lasting impact, with Prince's rain-soaked guitar solos and Paul McCartney's crowd-rousing "Hey Jude" sing-along standing out. As we meander through these iconic moments, we also pause to recall the timeless resonance of certain albums and even share a detour into the world of sports with the 1980 "Miracle on Ice." We look back at Aerosmith guesting in the 'Wayne's World' sketch on Saturday Night Live in 1990.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 98: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Many Americans will not stop lying to themselves about Trump’s insanity. But the rest of us have to. The rest of us: every politician who steps in front of a microphone, every news producer who begins a newscast with some other story made trivial in contrast, every columnist who writes about alarm or some quarters or this Ohio diner, every commentator tempted to say this was the moment Trump truly became president. Trump is manifestly insane and this week he has entered that stage of whatever it specifically IS that’s wrong with him, that is characterized by mania: the conviction that something that is impossible WILL happen simply because he SAYS it is going to happen. HIS mania happens to be about Gaza. The next one could be about the sun rising in the west. Or about how Americans would survive a nuclear war because he’s leading them and he’s immortal. Mania doesn’t have to be MANIC. It doesn’t require hyperbolic words nor unsuppressed rage nor vivid hallucinations. He’s insane. He believes in things that aren’t true and can’t be true and he has a rationalization ready for whenever somebody tells him that they can’t be true. There is nothing of the cliched crazy man in his voice as he talks about Gaza. Nevertheless this guy is metaphorically about one inch away from having conversations with invisible gophers. He says the land is beautiful and he will "cherish" it. His language matches what someone would say if they were having sex with the land. It's a form of what film-maker Billy Wilder allegedly told Nancy Reagan when she quizzed him about why the character played by Gloria Swanson had a pet chimp in their movie “Sunset Boulevard”: "that's because she was f'ing the monkey." Trump talks about Gaza like he is f'ing the monkey. B-Block (30:04) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Fox's Emily Compagno knows how to reform the media. Literally have them just republish Trump press releases. Well, it works for Fox. Dinesh D'Souza celebrates an Army Base NOT being re-re-named after a Civil War General, and Eric Adams, polling at 10% to be renominated for Mayor of New York, has not only sold out his city but now he is actively toying with switching to the GOP, where he will probably poll at LESS than 10%. C-Block (41:10) IN SPORTS: Oh man do I hate it when leagues shut down their seasons so the players can play made-up international tournaments. Wait, only the National Hockey League does that? As part of its marketing strategy to make this great game even LESS prominent? And by the way its new tournament unfolds as the 45th anniversary hits of a truly great international tournament: the 1980 Olympic Hockey medal competition. I covered it, and I'm still cold. Memories, and one of my radio reports, included.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
