READERS ARE CALLING THIS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE AND DETAILED VIEW OF THE SERIES
The 1972 Canada Russia Hockey Series was the greatest series in the history of Sports. The Summit Series games in Canada were all at once, shocking, emotional, passionate, and disappointing. These games had a major impact on Canadian culture, forcing Canadians to unite in a common cause. From the shocking game one Soviet win in Montreal to Phil Esposito’s passionate speech in Vancouver, these games shook an entire nation, while reaffirming another.
Author and hockey historian Grant Douglas Pennell takes the never done before step of breaking those games down, moment by moment, analyzing each goal, each player involved, with a view from both the Canadian and Soviet lens. The book also includes a detailed and interesting history of international hockey not only for both countries, but in each Canadian city that the games were played.
If you are a sports fan in any country, this is the book for you!
