t was a series that culminated in one of the most iconic moments in Canadian history—a “where were you when…?” moment that is cherished to this day—and those eight games ultimately changed the way hockey was played. Fifty years later, the intensity and excitement of the 1972 Summit Series between Canada and the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R.) still live on in the collective memory of Canadians, along with the heart, grit and determination demonstrated by members of Team Canada. Their legacy and team spirit are proudly honoured on this 50^TH anniversary commemorative coin, which features the stylized maple leaf that was the rallying symbol for an entire nation in September 1972.
