Herb Brooks Statue
The statue salutes Brooks, who served as the Huskies’ head coach in 1986-87 and played a pivotal role in the Huskies’ move to the NCAA DI level in 1987-88 and the construction of the facility – then known as the National Hockey Center in 1989.
The ceremony included comments from St. Cloud State President Robbyn Wacker, St. Cloud State Director of Athletics Heather Weems, Men’s Hockey Coach Brett Larson and Dave Brooks, the brother of Herb Brooks.
The statue was installed thanks to support through generous gift from Dave Brooks. It was created at Brodin Studios Kimball. The statue stands about 14 feet tall and is in place near the main entrance to the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.
