Many of us not quite old enough to watch or listen to the events of the 1972 Summit Series between Team Canada and Team Russia rely on summaries provided in books as well as personal accounts from journalists, players and those who were there to describe what happened back then.
Online media provides a wealth of resources to share stories and memories of the historic events that took place 40 years ago.
A new book released recently by '72 Project creator Sean Mitton, highlights 72 of the best stories of Canadians who remembered where they were and what they were doing when Paul Henderson scored the winning goal for Team Canada to beat Team Russia in the eighth and final game.
The book adds a new and unique resource for hockey fans to draw from when celebrating the 40th anniversary of this history-making series of games in 2012.
Growing up in Canada, this series was, is, and always will provide a defining moment in history for Canadians to truly be proud of.
