ROCHESTER, N.Y. \u2014 Hailey Winn from Rochester and Bishop Kearney scored her first career Olympic hockey goal Monday against Switzerland. One state lawmaker wants to bring Olympic hockey goals like that back to New York.<\/p>\n
Assemblyman Robert Carroll from Brooklyn is leading an initiative to host the Winter Games in Lake Placid and New York City, similar to how Milan and Cortina are doing it in Italy. Carroll is traveling to Italy this week to learn from their experience.<\/p>\n
Berkeley Brean, News10NBC: \u201cIs this a miracle on ice idea or is it doable?\u201d<\/p>\n
Assemblyman Robert Carroll, Brooklyn, Kings County: \u201cI think it\u2019s a thousand percent doable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carroll plans to explore how Milan and Cortina connect the two regions for the games.<\/p>\n
Berkeley Brean: \u201cAre you going to be looking for how that operation works to get ideas about how it might work here?\u201d<\/p>\n
Assemblyman Robert Carroll: \u201cI\u2019m going to be taking the train and then a bus from Milan to Cortina to see how connecting to those two regions, how it actually happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lake Placid and New York City are five hours apart, while Milan and Cortina are about four and a half hours apart.<\/p>\n
Assemblyman Robert Carroll: \u201cThis is the first time two cities are hosting a games. So I think it\u2019s a great opportunity to say \u2013 what does that feel like? What does that look like? Logistically how does that happen?\u201d<\/p>\n
The idea emerged after New York invested $500 million in upgrading Lake Placid\u2019s facilities. Carroll wants the governor to establish a committee of about 30 to 40 people this spring to explore the feasibility of hosting the games \u201cwithout breaking the bank or spending tax dollars on sports infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Leggio, who played for the Amerks and the 2018 USA Hockey Team, supports the idea.<\/p>\n
David Leggio, Team USA hockey 2018 Olympics: \u201cI think it would be amazing. I just watched the 1980 documentary on Netflix which is fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Leggio: \u201cObviously all the infrastructure is there. I\u2019m sure they could figure out the housing and lodging and all that but I think it would be awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
The cost of the Olympics in Italy ranges from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion, while New York\u2019s state budget is $254 billion.<\/p>\n
