The Internet has found its latest YouTube-sensation, and his name is Josh Sacco, a five-year old hockey fan who really loves the movie Miracle, the story of the 1980 U.S. Men's Olympic Hockey team that upset the Soviet Union and won the gold medal at the Lake Placid games.

In Miracle, actor Kurt Russell stars as hard-driving Olympic coach Herb Brooks, who molds a team of college hockey players into world champions. After watching the film repeatedly for months, Josh (nicknamed "Rizzo" after the team's captain Mike Eruzione) and his dad recorded a YouTube video in which Josh delivers a spot-on impression of the coach's inspirational pre-game speech before the American squad skated against the Soviets. It's simply a phenomenal performance:


Josh's father Jim Sacco recently told Yahoo Sports that he put the video on YouTube to share it with friends and family. Now, a mere three months later, the video's been viewed over 800,000 times and is spreading across the internet like wildfire. It's been featured in such varied locations as Sports Illustrated's Hot Clicks and 'The Ellen Show.' Can somebody set this kid up on a playdate with David After Dentist?
