The 'Miracle on Ice' team really wasn't a team of Americans?

Oh, the Olympics is upon us and in full swing. One of the most iconic Olympic underdog-turns-unlikely-champion stories belongs to the 1980 U.S. men's hockey team and their gold medal win over the Soviet Union.

In a clever move, ancestry.com took 5 members from the now infamous team and tested their origins. Turns out these hockey players aren't American at all, they have roots in Italy, the Middle East, Turkey, Iran, and...you guessed it - even Russia.

 The moral of the story is unity, embracing our differences and of course determining your own roots through the ancestry.com experience.
