September 28, 2017 marks the 45th anniversary of arguably the greatest sporting moment in Canadian history. Most Canadians over the age of 50 remember exactly where they were when Paul Henderson scored the series clinching goal over the Soviet Union in 1972. It was the politically charged era of the cold war. And the ‘Summit Series’ as it was dubbed, was more than just a friendly 8 game exhibition series. It became a symbolic battle between two very different ideologies. . . Communism vs. Democracy. In fact, many players felt as though the games were like fighting a war.
