Canada, the country that had created the game; the Soviet Union, having taken it up only twenty-six years earlier. On the line: more than the players, more than the fans, more than Canadians and Russians knew.\u003cbr\u003e So began an entirely improbable, near-month-long series of games that became more and more riveting, until, for the eighth, and final, and deciding game--on a weekday, during work and school hours all across the country--the nation stopped. Of Canada's 22 million people, 16 million watched. Three thousand more were there, in Moscow, behind the Iron Curtain, singing--\u003ci\u003eDa da, Ka-na-da, nyet, nyet, So-vi-yet!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eIt is a story long told, often told.

As if you, the reader, are too.\u003cbr\u003e The series, as it turned out, is the most important moment in hockey history, changing the game, on the ice and off, everywhere in the world. As it turned out, it is one of the most significant events in all of Canada's history.\u003cbr\u003e Through Ken Dryden's words, we understand why.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKEN DRYDEN\u003c\/b\u003e was a goalie for the Montreal Canadiens in the 1970s, during which time the team won six Stanley Cups, and he played for Team Canada in the 1972 Summit Series.
