The NCAA men's hockey tournament bracket this year would have made Herb Brooks proud. For the first time, all five Division I programs from Minnesota made the 16-team field. Minnesota is the No. 3 overall seed. The Gophers are joined by Minnesota State, Minnesota Duluth, St. Cloud State and Bemidji State. Brooks was a player and coach for Minnesota who went on to Olympic and NHL fame. He also helped launch St. Cloud State's leap to Division I in 1987. Brooks spoke often of his desire to grow the college game in his home state. (AP Photo/Ron Frehm, File)
