Herb Brooks Foundation and partners donate public ice rink to St. Paul

On the very day the USA Olympic Hockey Team pulled off its improbable upset of the powerhouse Soviet Union at the 1980 Olympic Games, the hometown of coach Herb Brooks celebrated a different kind of monument to teamwork. Thanks to a donation from the Minnesota Wild, U.S. Bank, and the EZ Ice rink company from Boston, the Herb Brooks Foundation (HBF) received a donation of a new outdoor ice rink. The 100×60 foot natural ice rink is located outdoors at the Conway Recreation Center in Saint Paul, near to where coach Herb Brooks grew up on the east side of Saint Paul.
