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 encounter between North American professionals and Soviet amateurs became much more than just a series of prestigious international matches. It can be... called a true ice battle, a clash of two powerful superpowers, a vivid confrontation of characters, mentalities, and established stereotypes. It was a rivalry between capitalism and socialism transferred into the realm of sports. 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 is not just tanks and missiles. After this series of eight matches, the boundaries dividing professional hockey players and amateur hockey players were erased. The brightest memories of the participants in this incredible rivalry are collected in this book with the help of Tretiak, Yakushev, Dryden, and others. A book for those who love football and sports.
