His legacy to us all is that our dreams can be a reality, that no obstacle is

Comments: I saw the movie “Miracle” and I never knew the man most
responsible for that great win. When the movie ended, the entire theater stood
up and applauded!! Herb Brooks is an inspiration to me and my young boys. I
admire the idea that discipline and drive can get you to your goals. Thanks for
the lesson that you and your team taught to my generation. “Miracles Happen
Every Day.”

Comments: “Leap, follow or step aside” is a phrase that any Saint Thomas
Academy alum will remember. I feel that the manner in which Dan Brooks conducted
himself when his father Herb died truly exemplifies the meaning of that phrase.
Dan made all of us proud with his strength, leadership, and communication
skills. Not many of us can understand what it's like to have have such a private
moment shared in such a public setting. I think that those of us who knew Herb
would agree that he would have been proud of his son beyond words.

Comments: August 11 is almost upon us...I can't believe Herb died nearly a year
ago. I will never forget reading about that terrible accident on that hot Monday
afternoon. A tear still comes to my eye when I think we lost our favorite coach
of all times. Herb was one of a kind - a true legend. I will say a prayer for
his family next week. Take care. 24.118.182.203

Comments: I was one of the fortunate that had the opportunity to have Herb as an
instructor while at a hockey camp in Faribault MN many moons ago. It was a sad
day for me when I heard about his death. As circumstances would have it I was
back in Minnesota and was able to attend the mass for Herb. He was a great
person who touched many lives and he will live on through his ethic, desire, and
wisdom that he passed along. I will be happy to recommend his foundation as a
choice for donations. 64.174.204.238

inspiration to me on and off the ice. Though I was never fortunate to have the
privilege of meeting Herb and knowing him, he is one of my greatest teachers. I

try each day to live my life with the character and work ethic he believed in.

Comments: Herb's hockey coaching abilities are unequivocal...but it was his
presence in the lives of his children and his grandchildren...and the love of a
remarkable wife that made Mr. Brooks the man he was. If hockey can create well
rounded individuals who can be inspired by the life of Herb Brooks, then I say,
“Game On!” 68.108.219.182

age, he already is influenced and inspired by the words and legacy of Herb
Brooks. Hetruely plays the game because he loves it. The glow on his face when
he reflects ona game or a goal is priceless. The Herb Brooks Foundation will
give that glory to other youth hockey players. That alone is enough reason to
contribute to this foundation.We believe in miracles!!!! 64.12.116.69

to all of us (in addition to Kelly, Danny, and his beautiful grandchildren.) As
we all know, Mr. Brooks created one of the most exciting and inspirational
moments in sports' history. Personally, I'm equally inspired by his humbleness
and faith behind the scenes. I'm confident that the foundation will not only
promote exceptional hockey talent on the ice, yet also exceptional character
once off the ice. Good luck and God bless! 24.98.101.28

accomplishments both on and off the ice, too many to list here. His idea that
“what is on the back of one's jersey doesn't matter as much as what's on the
front” is a lesson that a lot of young players should be learning
today.....this man definitely put US hockey on the map. 24.118.182.203

ability, knowledge and skill.We have trained for years working hard to be here
and represent Baltimore Youth Hockey. The players have earned their position and
have each other to hold onto, to motivate one another and to inspire one
another. We answer to our teammates and give our all by competing with honor,
dedication and fortitude. We respect our parents, teachers, coaches, our
opponents and ourselves. In the end, we are willing to sacrifice and train hard
on the icy road to victory. We enter the rink weak, but, the weak become strong
and the strong become great. We believe in each other. We are supposed to be
here. We never quit....the gold team rules.

I cried when i actually looked up the 1980 U.S Olympic hockey team, and what
they had done. I do believe in miracles and i was sad to hear about the passing
of Herb Brooks. I am currently doing an original film in my English class, and i
have chosen Jim Craig, mike Ramsey, Rob McClanahan, and Jack O'Callahan as the
subjects for my film. It's going to be a retelling of their achievements in the
NCAA, as well as the wisdom they learned while playing for Mr. Brooks I greatly
appreciate what Herb Brooks has done for hockey and will forever remember the
“Miracle on ice” that was a part of. 68.184.83.231

85 Name: Thomas
Location: PA
Comments: We all live our lives wondering just what our purpose in life is and
very few of us ever get a chance to make a lasting difference. Herb Brooks,
maybe without knowing what his purpose was, defined a nation's emotions by
simply doing what he did best, coaching a hockey team. I doubt he had any
preconceived notions about the implications his life's work would have. He
simply did his job and it changed forever the emotional makeup of this nation.
By the simply act of coaching a hockey team he managed to polarize the pride of
every single person who is proud of this great country. We should all be so
fortunate to have our lives impact so many in such a positive way. May God keep
you on his first line 24.118.182.203

inspiration to me. I didn't even know who he was until I resurched him for a
book report, in which I found that he was a very amazing person. I share his
passion for hockey in a way that I didn't know was possible. Thanks Herb.

still get goose bumps when I watch the actual game. Herb was an outstanding

Comments: played hockey mainly outdoors in programs, but I was into it in the
70's.minn.hockey was great then but 1980 was implanted in my cerebrum! The
Russian game was the best. Herb re-mapped the players nervous systems to
function at a higher level then the soviets, even though they were the
underdogs. But we know now that most of our talent really is stored in our
computer. (braincord) Herb new how to down load early on of the correct software

that put a great U.S. Hockey Team together and prove to everyone that dreams can

Comments: Upon my growing fascination with Herb Brooks and the 1980 “Miracle
On Ice” I recently visited the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN, and
purchased a “1980 Miracle On Ice” sweatshirt. I am very pleased with the
sweatshirt, bu tI am also curious as to whether or not clothing concerning Herb
Brooks will be made. I would like to see “Herbie” t-shirts made. A picture
of Herbie in his infamous arms raised celebrating pose with “Herbie”
underneath it or “Miracle”. I don't mean to try and cash in on Herb Brooks,
but I would be very much pleased to see more merchandise be made. I'd be very
proud to wear a “Herbie”. 63.228.4.163

they were the best...they should have won. Hard work pays off and Herb knew
that. The movie should be called “Believe” - believe in yourself and
anything can happen!I wish Herb was still was us - there was more for him to

about watching the movie, until today I was flipping channels and the movie had
just begun, so I watched it. I am glad that I did, I never even heard of Mr.Herb
Brooks. But I can tell you this, that I am really glad that I watched the movie.
I learned a thing or two from it, as I am sure many many other people have
learned from the movie or from the MAN himself. All I can say is for those of
you who knew him, well you are truly the lucky ones, those of us who didn't know
him, well we missed out on someone very special. Very nice job on the movie and
it may be 25 years too late but CONGRADULATIONS to everyone on that U.S.A. 1980

is being done. I congratulate the Foundation for getting involved with the
project. I was involved with youth hockey in outstate Minnesota for nearly 30
years until about 1996. The method of learning hockey by getting some neighbors
together and playing on an outside rink is by far the best way to improve your
hockey skills. Regards, Lyle A Block, Hutchinson, MN. 66.103.161.12

EXCITING hockey, that HE brought to the league in the 1st place. Now there's
none. Herb, I didn't know you, But I REALLY miss you. 24.118.235.8

(NY Islanders) and win the Cup. Well, maybe they didn't win the Cup under Herb
Brooks, but at least he brought them back to respectability and to where Ranger
fans could be proud of them again. To this day, I still love that 1980 team and
have never forgotten where I was when I heard we beat the Soviets. Thank You to
