Don't miss out on this limited edition bobblehead featuring Herb Brooks. Brooks was Team USA’s head coach for the gold medal-winning 1980 Winter Olympics U.S. hockey team that is famously known for its upset victory over the Soviet Union in the “Miracle on Ice” game. The backing of the bobblehead includes Brooks’ famous speech he delivered to his team prior to the “Miracle on Ice” game against the Soviet Union.
Inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 1990 and the IIHF Hall of Fame in 1999, Brooks will forever be known as the head coach of the gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic team at Lake Placid. Brooks, who died in a car accident in 2003, was honored posthumously with the Wayne Gretzky International Award in 2004 and inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2006. The Minnesota native coached the Minnesota Golden Gophers to three national championships before being hired to coach the 1980 Olympic team. Brooks also coached multiple NHL teams (New York Rangers, Minnesota North Stars, New Jersey Devils, and Pittsburgh Penguins), as well as the French team at the 1998 Winter Olympics. He ultimately returned to coach the U.S. men’s team to a silver medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
