I think this is an awesome and also a very classy move by Saint Cloud State University. Herb Brooks was a big part of the Huskies move to Division I hockey during the 1986-87 season.

Brooks was also a big part of Minnesota college hockey as well as Olympic hockey.

ASSOCIATED PRESS --- St. Cloud State will rename its hockey arena after Herb Brooks, the coach who guided the United States Olympic team to a gold medal in 1980. He also helped lead the St. Cloud State men’s hockey team’s move to N.C.A.A. Division I. Brooks died in an automobile accident in 2003.

According to the Saint Cloud Times, the National Hockey Center will be renamed the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.
