What the document says

“one gold medal shall be given to the United States Hockey Hall of Fame Museum in Eveleth, Minnesota, where it shall be displayed and made available for research, as appropriate”

To award 3 Congressional Gold Medals to the members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team, in recognition of their extraordinary achievement at the 1980 Winter Olympics where, being comprised of amateur collegiate players, they defeated the dominant Soviet hockey team in the historic “Miracle on Ice”, revitalizing American morale at the height of the Cold War, inspiring generations and transforming the sport of hockey in the United States, Sec. 3

The second of the three directions in subsection (c). One medal goes to the United States Hockey Hall of Fame Museum in Eveleth, Minnesota, on the same two conditions as the first: displayed, and made available for research, as appropriate. Eveleth is the hometown the third finding gives for one of the twenty players, Mark Pavelich.

What the document actually says

“one gold medal shall be given to the United States Hockey Hall of Fame Museum in Eveleth, Minnesota, where it shall be displayed and made available for research, as appropriate”

To award 3 Congressional Gold Medals to the members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team, in recognition of their extraordinary achievement at the 1980 Winter Olympics where, being comprised of amateur collegiate players, they defeated the dominant Soviet hockey team in the historic “Miracle on Ice”, revitalizing American morale at the height of the Cold War, inspiring generations and transforming the sport of hockey in the United States, Sec. 3
That sentence, in plain words

One gold medal goes to the hockey hall of fame museum. It is in Eveleth, Minnesota. The museum must put it on show.

What this is about

The museum must also let people study it. The law lists Eveleth as one player's home town. That player is Mark Pavelich.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
