Louis Vincent Anthony Nanne (born June 2, 1941) is a Canadian-born American former National Hockey League defenceman and general manager.

[1] In 1967, Nanne became an American citizen which allowed him to play for and captain the U.S. national team, alongside future Miracle on Ice coach Herb Brooks, which finished 6th at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France.

Lou Nanne turned down a $8000 contract offer from the National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks in 1963 after graduating from university, noting that he made three times as much money in his current job working as a salesman for Harvey Mackay's envelope manufacturing company.

With an infusion of notable players from the merger with the Cleveland Barons and through the draft, he quickly rebuilt the North Stars into a contender after his playing career ended in 1978.

[7] CBS Sports and NHL Network enlisted his services to provide color commentary of their hockey telecast when the Minnesota North Stars were not involved.

Starting in 2019, he served as the rotating color commentator for Minnesota Wild broadcasts on Bally Sports North, alternating in that role with Wes Walz and Ryan Carter.

[10] Nanne had been the TV color commentator for the Minnesota State High School Boys Hockey tournament since 1964, a total of 60 years.
