The 2004 Disney movie "Miracle" tells the story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team. A favorite of many hockey fans, the film has introduced a new generation of fans to the most influential hockey moment in the country's history.

For six-year-old Brooks Suter, whose dad is Wild defenseman Ryan Suter, the movie has even more meaning. In addition to being one of his favorites, it's also a living, breathing biography of his Grandpa Bob, a defenseman on the 1980 team who passed away suddenly just over two years ago.

The film, along with his dad and a surname that will forever be synonymous with the sport of hockey, is what connects Brooks to Bob -- three generations of Suter men who have fallen in love with the game.

Bob never played in the NHL, but his brother Gary, Ryan's uncle, spent nearly two decades in the League, retiring only a few years before Ryan made his NHL debut in 2005.

Growing up around the game fueled Ryan's passion for it, and it appears to be doing the same for Brooks, a staple inside the Wild's dressing room after games. 

It's Brooks who is often organizing games of knee hockey with the kids of other players, wearing his youth-sized Wild sweater with "Suter" and "20" flapping in the breeze behind him; another legacy he shares with his dad and his grandpa.

While All-Star Game appearances have become almost expected for Ryan, as he prepares to embark on his third appearance in the game this weekend in Los Angeles, it's sharing the day with his family that makes it all the more special.
