Herb Brooks, former men's hockey coach at the University of Minnesota and US Olympic coach in 1980 and 2002, died yesterday (Mon). The Minnesota State Patrol says Brooks was thrown from his car during a one-car rollover just north of the Twin Cities. They say they believe the 66-year-old Brooks overcorrected his steering while driving on Interstate 35. The St. Paul native is known throughout hockey circles as an innovator who could get the most out of his players. He's best known for using those motivational techniques in the famous "Miracle on Ice" game in 1980, in which the U.S. team defeated a stronger and faster Soviet Union team. The win put the U.S. in the gold medal game against Finland in Lake Placid, which the Americans won. Minnesota Public Radio's Tom Scheck reports.
