WATCH: Trump honors ‘Miracle on Ice’ hockey players on 40th anniversary of historic Olympic win

Flanked by members of the famed "Miracle on Ice" U.S. Olympic hockey team, President Trump celebrated the team's captivating 1980 performance at a campaign rally on Friday.

Forty years after the team defeated the Russian hockey team in the semifinals of the 1980 Olympic Games, Trump honored the historic victory by bringing captain Mike Eruzione and coach Herb Brooks's daughter onstage during a campaign stop in Las Vegas.

The team stood behind Trump as the president ran through his stump speech and lashed out at the "fake news media." The players wore red Make America Great Again hats and told the president they want him to be reelected.
