The Free Press was at the Winnipeg Arena to witness Canada battle Russia in the 1972 Summit Series. While only a select handful of images were published, we dug out the negatives from this classic game and scanned the rest for this gallery.
Of course, negatives aren’t archived with captions as we do with our digital files, but we’re sure you’ll still appreciate these images that haven’t been seen in decades.
