Historic Team Canada Jerseys

 
In 1961 Canada continued to be represented by amateur teams. This jersey was worn by the now famous Trail Smoke Eaters. This group of Cominco mining employees which included Seth Martin, Norm Lenardon and Addie Tambellini captured the last World Championship Canada would win until 1994.
 
 
With the Soviets dominating the international hockey scene, it was decided Canada would no longer be able to send amateur teams consisting of mill workers or car dealers and hope to win. Canada formed it's first national team program. This is the jersey they wore throughout the 1960s.

With special attention already paid to the 1972 Summit Series jerseys we now focus on the other Summit Series - the 1974 tournament which saw the World Hockey Association unsuccessfully take on the Russians in a very similar tournament. This was the jersey worn by the likes of Bobby Hull and Gordie Howe. Paul Henderson also wore this jersey.
 
 
 

These were the jerseys used throughout the exciting history of the Canada Cup. The tournament was played in 1976, 1981, 1984, 1987 and 1991, with Canada winning all but the 1981 tournament, which was claimed by the Russians in convincing fashion.
