      American ice hockey player and coach (b. Aug. 5, 1937, St. Paul, Minn.—d. Aug. 11, 2003, near Forest Lake, Minn.), guided the U.S. men's ice hockey team to one of the greatest upsets in sports as it defeated the U.S.S.R. en route to capturing the gold medal at the 1980 Winter Games in Lake Placid, N.Y.; the dramatic win became known as the “Miracle on Ice.” Brooks later coached in the National Hockey League, and at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, he steered the U.S. men's ice hockey team to a silver medal.
