Super Series 72. USSR-Canada: the history of the most incredible hockey rivalry

The 1972 Super Series is one of the greatest events in the history of world hockey. The first meeting between North American professionals and Soviet amateurs became something much greater than just a series of prestigious international matches. It can... be called a true ice battle, a clash of two powerful superpowers, a vibrant confrontation of characters, mentalities, and established stereotypes. It was a rivalry between capitalism and socialism, transferred to the sports arena. The 1972 Super Series not only opened a window for Soviet people to North America but also showed the whole world that the Soviet Union is not just tanks and rockets. After this series of eight matches, the boundaries separating professional and amateur hockey players were erased. The most vivid 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.
