Four high school hockey players were presented the 2019 Herb Brooks Award at the Girls’ and Boys’ Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament on February 23 and March 9.

The Herb Brooks award is given annually since 2004 to the most qualified hockey player in the Minnesota state tournament who strongly represents the values, characteristics, and traits that defined Herb Brooks -- a passion for hockey, a willingness to sacrifice for the team, integrity and work ethic, and leadership qualities.  This prestigious award commemorates the enduring influence Herb Brooks had on the sport of hockey in Minnesota and throughout the world.

The Herb Brooks Award is supported by the Herb Brooks family, the Minnesota State High School League, the Herb Brooks Foundation, and the boys and girls high school hockey coaches associations.

The award is presented on-ice at the Xcel Energy Center on live television on KSTC Channel 45 immediately after the Class 1A and 2A championship games for both boys and girls. Members of the Brooks family present the awards each year. This year the awards were presented by Herb Brooks’ daughter Kelly Brooks Paradise, son Dan Brooks, and granddaughter Olivia Paradise.
