More DescriptionThe 1970s saw NHL hockey step up to the world stage. Homegrown superstars like Darryl Sittler shared the ice with foreign-born players such as Borje Salming. Teams from Canada and the Soviet Union met in 1972's historic Summit Series. Hall of Famers like Ken Dryden, Bobby Clarke, Gilbert Perrault, Lanny McDonald, Larry Robinson, Mike Bossy, Brad Park, Guy Lafleur, and Bobby Orr played some of their finest seasons. And a skinny kid named Wayne Gretzky made his first appearance in an NHL rink.Like its critically acclaimed companion volumes on hockey in the fifties and sixties, this book is a rich source of the game's finest moments that both dedicated and new fans will appreciate. Praise for other volumes in The Game We Knew series: "Both sets of photos are superb...Highly recommended." -National Post
