For all those hockey fans out there, today is a sad day.

Herby Brooks died this afternoon in a one car accident in Forest Lake on his way home from the US Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth, MN.

Just saw this on the net. This is indeed a sad moment in Hockey History. There may never be a another innovator such as "Herbie". He will be sorley missed by the Hockey world.

Prior to the 1980 Olympics, Herb turned around a cellar dwelling University of Minnesota hockey team and won three NCAA championships. He will be missed.

He had some pretty good NY Ranger teams too, I remember the famous smurf line he had with the Rangers.
