NBC Sports reported that 18 of the 20 players from the original roster committed to attending, including captain Mike Eruzione and goalie Jim Craig.

The only players who won’t be in attendance are defenseman Bob Suter, who died in 2014, and forward Mark Pavelich, who was jailed in 2019 for assault and ruled mentally incompetent to stand trial.

According to NBC Sports, the organizers’ goal is for 12,000 people to attend an event at the Thomas & Mack Center on the exact 40th anniversary of the 4-3 win over the Soviet Union on Feb. 22.

Afterward, the 1980 team members will be honored during the Vegas Golden Knights game at T-Mobile Arena that night.
