Hometown hero

USA Today runs the excellent AP story on the renaming of the site of the Miracle on Ice in honor of St. Paul’s Herb Brooks yesterday: “1980 hockey rink named in honor of Herb Brooks.”

The AP caption reads: “Kelly Paradise, center, daughter of hockey coach Herb Brooks, and Herb Brooks’ son Dan Brooks, right, listen as New York Gov. George Pataki, left, announces at the end of the 25th anniversary celebration of the 1980 Winter Olympics on Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2005, in Lake Placid, N.Y., that the arena will be named after US Olympic hockey coach Herb Brooks (AP Photo/Jim McKnight)”
