Super Series 72. The Story of the Most Incredible Hockey Rivalry USSR-Canada

The 1972 Super Series is one of the greatest events in the history of world hockey. The first meeting of North American professionals and Soviet amateurs became something far greater than just a series of prestigious international matches. It can... be called a true ice battle, a clash of two powerful superpowers, a brilliant confrontation of characters, mentalities, and established stereotypes. It was a rivalry of capitalism and socialism transferred to the sports arena. The 1972 Super Series not only opened a window to North America for the Soviet people but also showed the whole world that the Soviet Union was not just tanks and rockets. After this series of eight matches, the boundaries separating professional hockey players from amateur hockey players were erased. The brightest memories of the participants in this incredible confrontation are collected in this book with the help of Tretiak, Yakushev, Dryden, and others. A book for those who love football and sports.
