‘Miracle On Ice’ jersey going to auction in NYC
NEW YORK — Mike Eruzione’s sensational winning goal against the Soviet hockey team at the 1980 Winter Olympics will forever be remembered as the ‘‘Miracle On Ice’’ — perhaps the greatest sporting moment of the 20th century. More than a generation later, the 58-year-old Eruzione is parting with his iconic No. 21 USA jersey, hockey stick, and other Olympic paraphernalia. Dallas-based Heritage Auctions is selling the items in New York on Feb. 23, the day after the 33rd anniversary of the historic game. The white jersey alone is expected to fetch more than $1 million, but sports memorabilia experts think it could go considerably higher.

Fidelity again urges the SEC to refrain from making money market rule changes
Fidelity Investments, the Boston financial-services company, is again urging the US Securities and Exchange Commission to refrain from implementing additional rules for the regulation of money market mutual funds. According to Fidelity, the nation’s largest manager of money market mutual funds, a rule revised in 2010 “significantly reduced the risk” across all types of money market funds and as a result, no further reform is needed at this time. And if the SEC does decide that rule changes are necessary, Fidelity added, then such changes should be “narrowly tailored.”
