Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, August 4, 2026 —
John Harrington, a pivotal member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, famously known as the “Miracle on Ice,” has revealed his personal recommendations for what to watch, read, and listen to.
Harrington shared his “Watch Read Listen” list through KSTP.com, a news outlet serving the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The outlet featured his selections, offering a glimpse into his off-ice interests.
Among his recommended viewing is the popular television show “Shark Tank.” The program features entrepreneurs pitching their business ideas to a panel of investors, commonly known as “sharks,” in hopes of securing investment.
For reading material, Harrington’s choice is the science fiction novel “Project Hail Mary.” Written by Andy Weir, the author of “The Martian,” the book follows an amnesiac astronaut on a desperate mission to save Earth.
In terms of audio entertainment, Harrington pointed to the radio station Cities 97. The Minneapolis-based station is known for its mix of music and local programming.
Harrington’s involvement in the 1980 Olympic hockey team remains one of the most celebrated moments in American sports history. The team, composed of amateur and collegiate players, defeated a heavily favored Soviet Union team en route to winning the gold medal.
