It all
started on a September's day in 1972.
"Henderson has scored for Canada."
Foster Hewitt's timeless words
immortalized Paul Henderson's place in hockey history. He
instantly became a legend. A legend of Team Canada.
Canada has gone on to capture
numerous international titles since the 1972 Summit Series: Canada
Cups, world championships, world junior championships and men's and
women's Olympic gold medals. With each victory came new heroes. Some
of those heroes became legends.
Legends of Team Canada honours the
stars of Team Canada over the years. We remember the heroics of Paul
Henderson and leadership of
Phil Esposito in the 1972
Summit Series. We recapture the magic between Wayne Gretzky
and Mario Lemieux
in the 1987 Canada Cup, and pay homage to
other Canada Cup legends like Bobby
Orr, Darryl
Sittler, Paul
Coffey, John Tonelli
and
Mark Messier. We honour World
Champions like Ryan Smyth and
Bill Ranford. We cherish
Olympic glories supplied by the likes of Joe
Sakic, Hayley
Wickenheiser and
Jayna Hefford.
More than 30 Legends of Team Canada
are individually profiled. We also tribute lesser known players who
were devoted to Team Canada over the years. We thank pre-1972
amateurs who captured world and Olympic titles. We remember the
modern men's and women's national teams.
And just for fun we look at the list
of players who have played for Team Canada even though they were
born in another country. And we take a look at the players who will
one day soon be included as a legend of Team Canada.
