NASHVILLE, Tenn.(AP) — Josh Sacco does a pretty spot-on
impersonation of actor Kurt Russell as U.S. Olympic hockey coach
Herb Brooks from the movie “Miracle.”
The Tennessee boy’s recitation of the speech before the
Americans’ game with the Soviet Union at the 1980 Olympic Games
is an Internet sensation. He repeated it in a new video from the
NHL’s Nashville Predators’ dressing room with the team’s mascot.
Sacco received a rousing cheer after the team showed it Thursday
night during the first period of the Predators’ home opener.
The now 5-year-old hockey fan memorized the movie by watching it
repeatedly. He recited the speech a dozen times before his
father recorded him at their Spring Hill, Tenn., home.
It wound up on YouTube only because they couldn’t e-mail it to
relatives.
