The JSerra Athletic Administration is proud to announce that Olympic gold medalist Mike Eruzione has been named the guest speaker for the 2025 JESPY Awards.
 
Born in Winthrop, Massachusetts, Eruzione was a three-sport standout (baseball, football, and hockey), who was also an all-scholastic student.
 
He went on to play hockey at Boston University, where he helped the Terriers win four Eastern Collegiate Championships. He eventually finished his collegiate career as the school’s third leading scorer.
 
In 1980, Mike was selected captain of the United States Men’s Hockey team and led the team to the Olympic Gold Medal, the second ever won by the U.S. in men’s hockey.
 
Amongst the run to the gold medal for the United States was its’ 4-3 victory over the heavily favored Soviet Union in the semifinals, which saw Eruzione score the eventual game-winning goal with 10:00 left in the third period.
 
Eruzione’s game-winning goal against the Soviet Union has been immortalized as one of America’s most indelible and iconic moments.
 
It was chosen by Sports Illustrated as the greatest sports moment of the 20th century in 1999, and in 2008, it was voted as the greatest highlight of all-time by ESPN viewers.
 
“Mike Eruzione’s play on the ice and his inspiring captaincy and leadership of a gold-medal winning Olympic team captured the hearts and minds of an entire country, proving once again that nothing is impossible.” JSerra Athletic Director Chris Ledyard said. 

“We are honored and excited to welcome Mike as the guest speaker of this year’s JESPY Awards and look forward to him helping us celebrate the accomplishments of our student-athletes and athletic teams.”
 
The fifth annual JESPY Awards on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 5:30 p.m., at JSerra’s Varsity Football Field.
