Bob Suter Career

Amateur career

Suter, a native of Madison, Wisconsin, attended Madison East High School. He played college hockey at University of Wisconsin-Madison and was a member of the 1977 NCAA hockey champion Wisconsin Badgers. He was most well-known for his rough play, establishing several Badger records for penalty minutes before leaving in 1979. He started with the Tulsa Oilers on a tryout basis for a few games in late 1979, but shortly joined the 1980 US Olympic hockey team on a full-time basis, where he earned the gold medal.

Professional career

In the 1977 World Hockey Association draft by the Birmingham Bulls, Suter was drafted with the 120th pick in the 1977 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings of the NHL and also 58th overall. Following the 1980 Olympics, he turned down Los Angeles' contract and waited out the 1980–81 season to become an unrestricted free agent. In 1981, he came out of retirement to compete for the United States team at the 1981 Ice Hockey World Championship tournament in Stockholm. Suter debuted as an unrestricted free agent with the Minnesota North Stars in 1981, but with the Nashville South Stars farm team, he spent the entire 1981–82 season in the Central Hockey League. He retired in 1982 without playing a single game in the NHL.

Post playing career

After his retirement, Suter returned to Madison and opened Gold Medal Sports, a sporting goods store. After his retirement, he played youth hockey in Madison and became a part-owner and director of Capitol Ice Arena in Middleton, Wisconsin. The Capitol Ice Arena in Suter's name was renamed in his honor ten months after Suter's death and is now known as "Bob Suter's Capitol Ice Arena."
