I was only 20 when this happened, but I remember it well. I later I worked with Mark Johnson’s Mom. Great family! He’s the Coach for our UW Badger Women’s Hockey team.
We are lucky to have him! His goal in the last SECOND of the first period tied us up with the Russians, which paved our way to the WIN! :)
Herb Brooks has heroic status in Minnesota as he was a St. Paul native.
