Summit Series '72: Eight Games That Put Canada On Top Of World Hockey (Lorimer Recordbooks) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
It wasn't until Canadian teams started losing in international tournaments in the mid 1950s that an epic hockey rivalry between Canada and the Soviet Union began. Canadians believed hockey was"their game." So Canadians were in for a rude awakening when they lost Game One of the 1972 Summit Series to the Soviets. The eight-game tournament quickly became a "war on ice" fuelled bycompeting Cold War ideologies. Hockey fans will enjoy reading about: small-town teams that represented Canada in international tournaments before there was a Team Canada; Father David Bauer and the first National Hockey Team; the birth of Hockey Canada; Canada and the Cold War; Canadian style of play in hockey versus the Russian style of play; and Bobby Clarke's dirty slash on Kharlamov.

This was not the book I was expecting when I bought it. It turned out to be like a childrens book, written in large font but in a small book, about the size of a kindle. I was expecting a serious book about the 72 summit series and didn't.
when my husband open the book the room reading was for an 8th grader or less... but he still enjoyed the illustrations. Packaging was clean and sturdy. shipping was fast.
