SUPER SERIES: 1970-1980
Top North American
Pro Leagues vs. Best European Teams
Various superseries between the elite
NHL and WHA pro players and European teams from
the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Sweden and Finland
were arguably one of the most exciting hockey events
of the 1970s. The first series was launched in 1972,
when Team Canada 1972 faced Team USSR in the historical
Summit
Series 1972. The series generated a
top level competition between two distinct hockey
styles and laid down the foundation for many other
super series of the decade. Most of these events
were rather hockey specials. They didn't have neither
official status nor established format but, by all
means, were considered a true "measuring stick"
on who is the best in the world.
