If enough people show up this could be a very cool event. I know that it will be exciting for the American born players since they are playing on the same ice that the "Miracle on Ice" took place. I remember playing at the 1980 Herb Brooks Arena in the Can-Am Championship game as a kid and getting chills (not from the temperature) when stepping on to the ice.
According to MapQuest, the trip from Union to Lake Placid should take around two and a half hours. It's pretty much a straight shot up I-87. Since the game is at 4pm, Union fans have the option of going to the game as a day trip or you can stay the night and enjoy the village of Lake Placid. I haven't heard anything yet about a fan bus, but I will let you know if I do.
