I was 2 1/2 years old when Herb Brooks coached the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team... so I obviously wasn't watching the Olympic hockey games with much intent, anyway. My condolences to his family.

It's a sad and tragic loss to the sports world....I'll never forget the excitement of watching the 1980 U.S. Hockey team win Gold in Lake Placid
My humble condolences to the Brooks family, his friends and fans everywhere

I did not watch a lot of the 1980 Olympics, but I certainly know what the team and Herb Brooks did. He was an incredible hockey coach who will be fondly remembered.
