If Herb Brooks ever coached at Brown, it's news to me.  He was coach of the
Minnesota Golden Gophers through 1979, the US Olympic Team in 1980, and the
New York Rangers for a couple of years after that.  He later went on to coach
the Minnesota North Stars, and the St. Cloud Huskiesin their first season of
Division I hockey.  He is now coaching a minor league team in the New Jersey
Devils system.
 
Are you referring to another Herb Brooks?
