"Competition without
preparation is anti-development and we are on a slippery slope in
youth hockey today. There are a lot of positive things, but we also
have to watch out for the 'doing too much too soon for too few'
syndrome. Basically we need to stop narrowing the base of the
pyramid. We need to make hockey fun for the kids and let them learn
to love the game the way we did. Kids love to play and we need to
give the game back to them. I basically wanted to create an
environment to give the games back to the players as much as
possible."

Herb Brooks Foundation is dedicated to providing more opportunities
for kids to play the game of hockey. True to his words, the
Foundation will assist in, "making hockey fun for kids and letting
them learn to love the game the way we did."
In keeping with this ideal, the Foundation will support programs
that emphasize the development of youth hockey players and coaches
throughout the country. The Foundation will also assist in providing
more outdoor hockey facilities and programs, which directly impact
the development of youth hockey players.
