Herb Brooks Quotes – Olympic Coach from the 1980 USA Hockey Team Brooks' original expressions were known by his players as "Brooksisms." According to Olympians John Harrington, Dave Silk, and Mike Eruzione, these are a few.[14] "You're playing worse and worse every day and right now you're playing like it's next month." "You can't be common, the common man goes nowhere; you have to be uncommon." "Boys, I'm asking you to go to the well again." "You look like you have a five pound fart on your head." "You guys are getting bent over and they're not using Vaseline." "You look like a monkey tryin' to hump a football!" "You're looking for players whose name on the front of the sweater is more important than the one on the back. I look for these players to play hard, to play smart and to represent their country.” "Great moments are born from great opportunities." "You know, Willie Wonka said it best: we are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams." "This team isn't talented enough to win on talent alone." "If you lose this game you'll take it to your grave...your fucking grave." "You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here. This moment is yours."[15] "Write your own book instead of reading someone else's book about success."[7] "Boys, in the front of the net its a bloody nose alley." "Don't dump the puck in. That went out with short pants." "Throw the puck back and weave, weave, weave. But don't just weave for the sake of weaving." "Lets be idealistic, but lets also be practical." "You guys don't want to work during the game?" "The legs feed the wolf." Also, this is taken from the DVD part of Miracle On Coaching – I didn’t want to push them, I wanted to pull what is inside of them all the time. – Her Brooks Sacrifice for the UNKNOWN. What could be. – Herb Brooks On Head Games – I wanted them to be on their toes the whole time I was coaching them. Played head games with Jim Craig right up til the point we played Russians. I wanted to see how they would respond – Brooks. Motivation – Each guy was motivated differently. – Brooks. .

DATE: April 3, 2016 CONTACT: Jon Lundin, ORDA director of communications, ([email protected]) at (518) 523-1655 ext. 5313 *** VIDEO RELEASE *** 60 “Campers” Arrive in Lake Placid for Second Annual Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp LAKE PLACID, N.Y. --- The 60 campers arrived, in Lake Placid, N.Y, today, Sunday, April 3, to participate in the five-day long second annual Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp. These campers come from as far away as Seattle, Wash. and range in age from 28 to 68 years-old. While in the two-time Olympic village they will spend the entire time playing hockey, hanging out with and listening to stories told by 16 players from the famed 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team. It was 36 years ago that this group of mostly college age hockey players defeated the favored Soviet Union 4-3, in the game that’s known world-wide as the “Miracle on Ice,” en- route to the improbable Olympic gold medal. The 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team players taking part in the camp include Bill Baker, Neal Broten, Dave Christian, Mike Eruzione, John Harrington, Steve Janaszek, Mark Johnson, Rob McClanahan, Ken Morrow, Jack O’Callahan, Mark Pavlich, Mike Ramsey, Buzz Schneider, Dave Silk, Eric Strobel and Mark Wells. The squad’s assistant coach, Craig Patrick, is also in Lake Placid. All Fantasy Campers were picked up from Albany (N.Y.) International Airport and transported to Lake Placid via motor coach. While in Lake Placid, they’ll receive hockey instruction and play games while spending four nights at the High Peaks Resort.
