The "Great Calgary Invasion of 1919" is this week's made up inspiration for a B-movie that doesn't exist lol. Influenced by old movie posters, the drive-in, and a century's worth of old theatre ads that I've been browsing for the new documentary project - this campy print is the latest addition to the "Surreal Alberta" series.
Also known as the Herb Brooks Arena, this venue was built for the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. In addition to numerous events being hosted here, this arena is where the "Miracle on Ice" took place which saw the United States' 4-3 victory over the Soviet Union. More images from the Olympic Center here.
The current Olympic Center and Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum located in Lake Placid, New York is within the Olympic Park that was used for both the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. The site is also home to the original 1932 rink and the 1980 rink where the famed "Miracle on Ice" was played. In addition to artifacts from the Lack Placid games, the Olympic Museum also features metals and torches spanning all of the Winter Olympic Games.
