Thus, began a 10-year "Voyage of Discovery" to research and complete the most definitive book ever written about; "The Series We Thought We Knew". Learn ALL about the thrills, spills, hits, heartaches, despair and ultimate triumph experienced by the members of Team Canada ’72 when they clashed with the USSR (also known then as the Soviet Union and now as Russia). And, of all Canadians and Russians who lived and breathed the series in September 1972 and the impact and legacy it has left on the game of hockey ever since! ***** ACCOLADES ***** >>>> “Enjoyed it immensely!
