 Brooks on USA Hockey...
The name on the front of the jersey is a hell of a lot more important then the name on the back.
“When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality.” Joe Paterno
"Is hockey hard?"
"I
don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner,
and the concentraion of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery
surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us, oh yeah did I mention that this whole time we're standing on
blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. Next question."
-Brendan Shanahan

Herb Brooks: Great moments... are born from great opportunity.
And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em
ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And
we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players.
Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick
and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and
take it.

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” Henry Ford

The Making of a Goalie...
"Because
the demands on a goalie are mostly mental, it means that for a goalie, the biggest enemy is himself. Not a puck, not an opponent,
not a quirk of size or style. Him. The stress and anxiety he feels when he plays, the fear of failing, the fear of being embarrassed,
the fear of being physically hurt, all the symptoms of his position, in constant ebb and flow, but never disappearing. The
successful goalie understands these neuroses, accepts them, and puts them under control. The
unsuccessful goalie is distracted by them, his mind in knots, his body quickly following."
-Ken
Dryden, goalie, Montreal Canadiens

“I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual,
is the ultimate champion.”
