The 1972 Canada-Russia Series a defining moment?
In the early fall of 1972, Canada came to a virtual standstill during the Super-Summit Hockey Series. The entire country was gripped by hockey fever. The only businesses still operating were the sports bars. The hockey summit was not only about hockey supremacy. It was more than just National Pride. You have to remember that 1972 was still the Cold War era. Although technically described as a hockey 'exhibition' the Series was a very symbolic part of the struggle between Capitalism and Communism. Team Canada, down by two games and facing an embarrassing defeat, regrouped and came roaring back to win the final three games in Moscow, with Toronto's Paul Henderson scoring the winning goal in the dying seconds of the last game.
