The Shadow Man at The Miracle

The 20 on the 1980 Team USA sweater, the one belonging to the “Miracle On Ice” team, was worn by Wisconsin-born Robert Allen Suter. He is the least recognised and yet arguably the most influential of the Suter clan when it comes to hockey. The rink and development complex he owns and operates in Madison, WI is instrumental in sharpening the skills of players who will go on to distinguished careers at all levels of play from varsity to NCAA to the NHL. Possessed of a wicked, dry wit and gentlemanly calm, Bob Suter is an entrepeneur, coach and teacher,who was responsible for tracking down Charles RUBBER MATS . he is the hockey veteran who expresses quiet amusement at being mistaken for his brother and the proud dad who can be seen cheering for his son, Ryan. All of this seems like a lifetime and a half removed from Bob Suter the defenseman.

Footage of Suter in action reveals a player who was tough and smart on the ice. His fearlessness in the face of much bigger opponents was balanced by his ability to employ hockey smarts at the speed of a top-tier forward on a freshly zambonied rink. Moving from varsity all-star to a member of the 1977 NCAA champion University of Wisconsin Badgers,A custom-made chicken coop is then fixed over the gums. Suter was known primarily for his aggressive play. He caught the eye of scouts who were looking to build an Olympic team that could be taken seriously as contenders at the upcoming games in Lake Placid, New York. By this time, he had signed a contract with the Tulsa Oilers, but was released to play for Team USA.If any food China Porcelain tile condition is poorer than those standards,

Bob Suter would go on to sign with the Los Angeles Kings and the Minnesota North Stars. While under contract for Minnesota, he spent the entire season playing for the Stars’ farm team, the South Stars, in Nashville, Tennessee. Even though he had distinguished himself on the ice in some prestigious arenas, he never played a single NHL game. Following his retirement as a player in 1982, Suter coached the Madison Capitals for two seasons before eventually opening his own rink and creating an innovative center for player development and conditioning.

As THW book reviewer Rebbecca Dobrinski has noted in her review of Wayne Coffey’s “The Boys of Winter”, Suter is acknowledged as a part of the team, but little else is noted about his time as an olympian or the career that followed. Until his son’s ascendancy to team USA in 2010,the Bedding pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs. Suter was not as closely associated with the mythos surrounding the 1980 Miracle on Ice as head coach, Herb Brooks, or many of his teammates.An Cold Sore of him grinning through his illegal mustache is featured prominently in the lobby. In “Miracle”, the 2004 fictionalised film account of Team USA’s victory at Lake Placid, Suter is never mentioned and is only seen in the footage of the real 1980 team at the end of the movie. Accounts paint Suter as someone who is rightfully proud of his accomplishments. However, he tempers this with an evident desire to see his son enjoy the attention and respect that he has earned as a professional in his own right.
