Hello everyone, even though I recorded this on Thursday I wanted to release it today. Herb Brooks was a player and a coach his high school hockey team won the 1955 state ice hockey championship. He also played for the Minnesota Gophers in college from 1955-59. He was a member of the 1960 US hockey team but was the final cut where he watched with his dad on tv that team win the gold medal at Squaw Valley. He later told the coach of that team he made the right decision because they won. From 1960 to 1970 he set a record by playing for the US national team eight times including the 64 and 68 teams. he would later coach the Golden Gophers to three NCAA championships in 1974, 1976, and 1979. In 1980 he would get the opportunity to complete a dream of his by being named the head coach of the US Olympic hockey team he would lead that team by strict means and would later be the USSR Olympic team in Squaw Valley in a game known as the Miracle on Ice and that team would later win the gold medal. After that, he would coach for the NHL and the Olympics twice more. Herb Brooks would die on August 11th, 2003 at the age of 66 near Forest Lake Minnesota. At the time of his death a movie was being made called Miracle starring Kurt Russell as Herb Brooks and the movie showed not only the ways he coached the team but the miracle it would take to get the team passed the Soviets. The movie was later dedicated to him saying he never saw it. He lived it.
