1972: The Series that Changed Hockey Forever
The legacy of the greatest hockey series ever, fifty years later, with stories from the players that shed new light on those incredible games and times.
Veteran journalist and hockey analyst Scott Morrison uses a storyteller’s voice to reveal what it meant to hockey then, and what it means now. Filled with the memories of the players and others involved with the series, 1972 demonstrates how this series changed the game, and challenged a nation’s sense of identity and place in the world.
“I still break into a sweat when I think about 1972. The mixture of national anxiety, anticipation, disappointment, and celebration. All those emotions are even deeper now after reading Scott’s fabulous inside story of just what happened during those legendary eight games.” -- Peter Mansbridge, bestselling author of Off the Record
