Bob Suter, a member of the 1980 U.S. "Miracle on Ice" team and father of Minnesota Wild defenseman Ryan Suter, died Tuesday. He was 57.

"We are very saddened by today's news that Minnesota Wild scout Bob Suter suddenly passed away," the Wild said in a statement. "The Wild organization sends its condolences to the entire Suter family during this difficult time. Not only was Bob a great hockey ambassador, he was a terrific person off the ice who will be greatly missed by all of us."

The cause of death was not given.

Only just seen this how ,terrible.

Puts it in to perspective when fans get annoyed when a player moves team to be closer to family. Suter might have got to see his old man a bit more in his time with the wild. And look how precious that could have been to them both.
