I still get goosebumps every time I see the movie Miracle and that clip of Herb at the end. As I long time Rangers fan, I have fond memories of Herb's work here also. He's probably coaching up in heaven. | |

In early 1980 my father passed away suddenly at the age of 57 and ten days later I was divorced. It was a sad time, but when the 1980 team won the gold and I got to stand on the Nicollet Mall cheering them as they drove past it was like God was saying that things will be okay. Thanks to the Brooks' family for keeping this spirit alive. | |

One of the best hockey coaches in American history. I was a big fan in the '80's when he coached the NY Rangers. He is an American icon. Great Foundation! | |

I recently watched "Miracle" because it was recommended by someone from work... I'm in the middle of a political campaign and was looking for motivation - for myself and my team. When I saw the movie, I was transported back to the 10 year old kid who was glued to the TV for every second of the Olympic broadcasts. Thank you, Herb, for your legacy of inspiration... | |

I think this organisation you have here is a god thing, as an inspired hockey player, i look upp to the 1980 hockey team. This year for history i chose too do herb brook,for his actions and legacys. i think personsonaly he is a legend, he created a bunch of talented young men. And not only a team. a family. I always think of "the name on the back is more important than the one on the back." as something true. we unfortunately have no time for hockey. al though this unfortunate obsticale still doesn't stopp me from playing this sport. i love it with a passion. and play every chance i get. i still think herb is great. i look up too all the great men he made men and true hockey players. to have them play "with their hearts" thank you again for creating making hockey original.

My 8 year old son and I watched the broadcast of 'Miracle' last night. It was the first time he had seen it; now he is a Coach Brooks fan. It was great to see that film again; to remember and pass that along to my son. After all these years it still chokes me up to re-live the memory of the Miracle on ice. Rest in peace and thanks, Coach; what you and your team did for the USA will never be forgotten. | |

Hello;
Just a note about the bio. and tribute material on the website. Why does everyone always omit any reference to Herb Sr.? I had the honor to spend 6 years of my life in hockey to work alongside Herb Brooks Sr. at the State Fair Coliseum in St. Paul. Herbie was both the grandest gentleman and the humblest man I've ever known. He was also a pillar of the early Phalen Youth Hockey days. Why does Rube always get all the credit? Wuthout Herbie Sr. there would have been no Phalen Youth program. Also; Hello to Dan. I'll be in the Twin Cities in early Sept. I'd like to meet with you about an exciting new hockey opportunity here in Southern Ca. Sincerely, Bob Gibbons bgibbons5@verizon.net | |

Thank you for all that the Foundation is doing to make hockey a better sport for our children. Herb has been my hero for years and now it is neat for my own boys to learn from the legend. They love the movie and the books about him. I love that he still motivates kids today.
Best of luck. | |

I had the pleasure to meet Herb on several occasions while attending Jr. and Sr. High with his son Dan in Greenwich, CT. Dan and I had become friends and I was invited on several occasions to attend the Rangers practices at Rye Playland and the games at MSG. I met players and had a wonderful time. I found the Brooks family to be an absolute pleasure. I can never thank them enough for their kindness. Dan and I had a falling out in high school and have not spoken since. I was very saddend to hear of Herbs passing. I wish the family my very best. | |

Miracle is my favorite movie of all time. I love the way Herb stuck with these kids and I love the way the movie portrayed that relationship between coach and team. I got a book from the library recently called the Boys of Winter. I finished that book within 2 days. it is about the 1980 hockey team. i cried. im only 15 years old and i already have the ambition of being the 1st ever goaltender for the Carolina Hurricanes all thanks to him. Herb Brooks is my hero. God Bless Herb and His family | |

While playing hockey at Minneapolis Roosevelt High School, Herb scouted my games and one day invited me to “walk on” and try out for the U of M. As fate would have it, I was injured and did not get the opportunity try out. Because Herb was a strategic thinker, a few years later, while coaching varsity high school hockey at Minnehaha Academy, 1979-81, I sought his assistance for our penalty killing line. Needless to say he solved my issue. Shortly following the “Miracle”, I graduated from seminary and was asked by my younger brother, Mark Hultgren, who ran the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament Banquet, to give an invocation and to pray before the meal. At the head table I was seated next to Herb Brooks. He looked at me and smiled, reached out his hand and shook it. It was from then on that Herb Brooks referred to me as, "The Rev." I loved him and will miss him. I trust he is in heaven and smiling still as the miracle of the game of hockey continues to be a blessing is so many other lives. | |

This is a salute to Herb.who showed us what was possible. It still holds true that there will be no success in competitive sport without endeavour.
And in advance of political correctness watering down the eternal prowess of our young athletes - I salute you. Please let all persons challenge anything which is less than inspirational in sporting aspiration Elsdon Ward | |

I am a youth hockey coach and I volunteer my time to help the young boys and girls play a better game - I have admired Herb since the early 80's and his teachings stay with me today. I try and coach like he did but I will never be the mentor and coach he was...Thanks for giving all of us youth hockey coaches a lesson in motivation, dedication and passion. You are a hero to many. | |

I was 9 years old when the Miracle on Ice occurred. I was "fortunate" enough to have come down with pneumonia right when the games started, and was home sick from school the entire Games. I saw every one of the games that were televised. My family was a "hockey family", even though up that point only two of my older brothers played ice hockey. I played later on. Now, I still play, and my boy is 3, and I hope to teach him why this game of hockey is so special. Just as Herb would have done it, for the love of the game. Herb always has been, and will always be, one of my biggest inspirations, in hockey and in life. "Helmets off" to you Herb - forever The Man! | |

Here's to you Herb, the leader of the one and only Dream Team. Where I'm from hockey isn't that popular. But, you don't have to be a hockey player know a great coach. He's an inspiration. My condolences to the Brook's family. | |

Herb had to be the best coach ever. If you needed a miracle he had one. If you needed inspiration or motivation, he had it. | |

In my mind, Herb Brooks is a true hockey legend - one of the greatest sports heros of our time. He is truly missed and I know his legacy lives on.
Herb would be proud of your new Training Center in Blaine. Good job and best of luck. Thank you for what you are doing. | |

Hello, I visited Lake Placid recently and thoroughly enjoyed seeing where the Miracle on Ice occurred. I was wondering if someone could post a picture of the team and a caption with the names so I can see what they look like today? Enjoyed the photos on the site but with the exception of Jim Craig and Mike Eruzione -- not sure who anyone is. Great site. | |

Hi Kelly, Patti, Dan. It's me Michael Finch and I am the boy that wrote the book about your father Herbie. I met Kelly and Patti back in April, 2005. I played hockey for 1 year in 2005/2006. It's now 2007 and I skipped a season cause I just felt like I needed a break. I just wanted to say I'm gtting back into it alittle bit and am watching the Karl Malden movie Miracle n Ice which was made back in '81.
It's like the 5th time I've seen it in 3 yrs. It's a good movie. Anyway, Kelly I keep trying to find your e-mail to e-mail you and just say thank you and give you and your family updates about me and mu hockey life if possible. Thank You -Michael Finch P.S. my mother and father say hello. | |

I watched the movie Miracle and wanted to research about the "Miracle on Ice" and Herb Brooks. Your link to the second part of the fox news story of herb brooks is incorrect. A picture is displayed. However, I managed to access it anyways, manually.
Thanks for providing those videos. | |

I just wanted to say thank you to Herb Brooks for being my inspiration in becoming a hockey coach. After watching the 1980 Olympics’ I started reading everything I could find about coaching youth hockey. I am now a Level 5 USA Hockey Master Coach and I currently coach a varsity high school team here in Georgia with the Georgia Student Hockey League. And I also have a hockey web site called the Coaches’ Corner at www.eteamz.com/coachescorner,and I have link on my site dedicated to Herb Brooks.
So Herb, thanks for all you did for hockey on all levels and I always feel that you are watching and guiding me behind the bench. | |

I have just watched the movie "miracle on ice", with my children. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found that it is more inspiring when you watch a movie like this with truth and fact behind it.
Thank you and all the best. | |

It was a month before I turned 12 when the 80' games took place. I still remember where I was in Cornwall, NY and what I was doing for most of the games. Best of success with the Foundation! | |

We gave our boys the movie "Mircale" for Christmas. What a huge hit. We all just sat down and watched it. I tell ya, my boys have never been this inspired in their lives. Thank you. We needed that.
Merry Chirstmas to the Brooks Family. | |
