It's become a recurring theme each season
when the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame gets together to induct its newest
members. At some point, those enshrined will acknowledge the impact
legendary coach Herb Brooks had on their careers.
This year was no different when USA Hockey saluted Tony Amonte, John
LeClair, Tom Barrasso, the 1998 Olympic women's hockey team and inventor
Frank Zamboni during the 37th ceremony and dinner on Tuesday at the
Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel.
In addition to honoring this year's inductees, USA Hockey paid tribute
to the 1960 U.S. Olympic Men's Team that garnered gold in Squaw Valley,
Calif. This February will mark the 50th Anniversary of that group
winning the United States' first Olympic gold in ice hockey. Brooks was
the last player cut from that team.
"People don't realize this, but I also cut three of my best players from
West Point from that Olympic Team," 1960 Men's Olympic coach Jack Riley
told NHL.com. "If I was going to keep someone, I would have kept an
extra defenseman and not a forward. If I could have had four lines, I
could have kept (Brooks)."
Still, Riley was proud of Brooks and his accomplishment during the 1980
"Miracle on Ice" in Lake Placid.

The equipment giveaway just wrapped up and the HBF would like to thank
all of the high school players, parents and especially the staff at
Berger Allied for all of their great work. We sorted the gear into over
70 speed packs. This was enough equipment to fill 1 1/2 semi-trailers.
We had over 750 people come through and get equipment.
Virtually every item was gone but a few breezers. Everyone that came to
the giveaway was so thankful that this was done and hoped we would do it
again next year. They said that if this drive was not organized their
son or daughter may not be able to play hockey this season. A big thank
you to everyone who helped in this effort, it was a great success!

It's pretty rare to attend any USA Hockey event nowadays without the
name Herb Brooks popping up at some point.
That's because USA Hockey and Herb Brooks are synonymous, and it's why
the entire hockey community mourned the death of the legendary coach in
a car accident on Aug. 11, 2003. Brooks’ valuable lessons of life and
hockey -- "Herbisms" -- will forever remain a part of the American
sports culture.

U.S. Pond Hockey/Tournament Results + Thanks
Hello Friends of the Pond!
We did it. We made it through another January without getting cabin
fever, thanks to you, who came from all over the world to play a little
pond hockey on the frozen waters of Lake Nokomis. You inhaled the bitter
cold air like it was ice-cream, and you celebrated the purity of sport,
the way we knew it as kids. And we all had a blast.
