Canada Cup Final
Forum de Montréal, Montréal 🇨🇦
Sunday, 13 September 1981

The 1981 Canada Cup was all about momentum. It was the second edition of the event started five years earlier, and Canada was the prohibitive favourite. There was one significant difference, though. In 1976, the Soviet Union had sent an “experimental” team, not fully knowing the level of competition it would face and worried some of its top players might try to defect. The result was a performance not befitting the country that had claimed World Championship and Olympic Gold many times over.

In 1981, it would make no such mistake.

Friday, 24 April 1981

The loss to the American collegians coached by Herb Brooks at the Olympics in Lake Placid in February 1980 was a disaster for Soviet ice hockey and for head coach Viktor Tikhonov.

To lose a Gold medal is one thing, but to lose the most prestigious prize in sports to ideological rival USA, represented by a group of unknown students, was unforgivable.

Friday, 22 February 1980

The Olympic Fieldhouse in Lake Placid, New York, hardly seemed like the place where hockey history could be made, but on one afternoon in 1980, the greatest moment in international hockey took place. It was a moment that transformed the game in one country and, over time, around the world.

It was a moment that came to define Olympic success. It was a moment that came to inspire dreams. After 22 February 1980, anything was possible.
