The Days Canada Stood Still: Canada vs USSR 1972 - Morrison, Scott

Clean, tight, unmarked; small crease to spine edge of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; "Henderson has just scored for Canada!" With the announcement of the winning goal, Canadians from coast to coast - and 3000 fans in Moscow - went wild. Paul Henderson's zap of the puck into the Soviet net with only 34 seconds left in the final crucial Canada-Soviet hockey summit series. A series that was so much more than just eight games of hockey. It was war. Twenty-seven days in Sept 1972, when Canada stood still while its best were pitted against the Soviets' best: Team Canada versus the Soviets. East meets West. Twenty-seven days of heart-stopping action that became a battle of skills, wills, politics and national pride. Unquestionably the most memorable hockey series of all time, the 1972 hockey summit will go down in the history of international hockey as the superiority over the skills and polish of the Soviets. In one of the toughest wars ever fought and won.
