LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — Several members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team are returning to the scene of their greatest triumph.

They'll take part in a Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp, which comes to Lake Placid for a five-day run starting March 29th.

All on-ice activities will take place on the 1980 Rink -- Herb Brooks Arena, where the U.S. team stunned both Russia and Finland to win the Olympic gold medal nearly 35 years ago.

Fantasy camp attendees will skate with, be coached by, and receive instruction from the likes of Mike Eruzione, Neal Broten, Dave Christian, John Harrington, Steve Janaszak, Ken Morrow, Mike Ramsey and Buzz Schneider.

The goal is to get 68 people age 21 or older to sign up.

The price is $5,495 (through sign-up by Dec. 15) and includes items such as home and away 1980 replica jerseys and other autographed equipment and photos.

More details are available on the fantasy camp's website.
