Relive the Canada-Russia Hockey Summit, 1972

Starting at $5.99 – $24.99

Let RetroSparX spark your memory of hockey’s 1972 Summit Series with Showdown on the Ice! Read about the epic match-up of 1972, when Canada and the Soviet Union battled through a 7-game series for hockey supremacy. When the players took to the ice, they carried the pride of their nation on their shoulders. Cold War suspicions and tensions infused the action. Most enduringly, this singular competition had a decisive, lasting impact on the game of hockey.

As an added bonus, in Snippets from the ’72 Series, remember some of the more iconic moments from the series, when tempers flared and emotions were raw.
