NUMBER THREE TITLE
On Friday evening, February 22 1980, lightning struck in the tiny village of Lake Placid, New York. For, on that very night, the absolute impossible happened. The United States Men's Olympic Hockey Team defeated the vaunted Soviet Union 4 to 3 in the tournament's semi-final match. It was the single greatest upset in the history of sports.
Up until that point in time, the Soviets had dominated the sport of International hockey in every way, manner, shape, and form possible. Ever since 1954, with only slight interuption, they had spent theri mornings, afternoons, and evenings systematically demolishing whomever they went up against. They had won Gold Medals in the Winter Olympics of 1956, 1964, 1968, 1972, and 1976; and were rarely challenged in any of them.
In September 1972, they shocked the best Canadian players of the NHL in an incredible eight game series. Two years later, they humiliated them in yet another eight game series. Then, in February 1979, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, they annihilated the NHL All-Stars in a three game series that is still referred to this day as, "The Embarrassment."
From 1954 through 1992, the Soviet Hockey Dynasty would win 21 World Championships, 8 Olympic Gold Medals, 1 Olympic Silver Medal, and 1 Olympic Bronze Medal. Without question, they were the single greatest hockey dynasty in all of recorded history.
In this wonderful book, the very first in a series of upcoming volumes, author Timothy J. Thompson examines how this incredible dynasty was born. He traces the roots of hockey in Russia, discusses their unique training methods and ground breaking philosophies, while providing the reader with intriguing background information on the two patriarchs of Soviet hockey.
There are ten excellent photographs included for the readers' enjoyment, along with a full and comprehensive index that makes finding out little tidbits of information as easy as 1-2-3. After reading this wonderful book, you will have a much greater love and respect for the sport of hockey, and will wait anxiously for the next volume to come out in print.
