Herb Brooks will be inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame today in Chicago. While he's best known for coaching the US hockey team to the gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympics he also coached the Minnesota Gophers to 3 NCAA championships in the 1970s. He was a fixture in Minnesota and US hockey for more than 40 years and has also been inducted into the US Hockey Hall of Fame and the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame. He was killed in a car accident in August of 2003 while returning from a fundraiser for the US Hockey Hall of Fame.
RIP and thanks for everything Herb.
