_"Napoleon didn't take Moscow, the Nazis got within 21 miles in 1943, but in a war of a different kind, Team Canada conquered Moscow." - journalist Dick Beddoes.

The 1972 Summit Series 

A new approach to world affairs during the Cold War

Canada wanted to compete with the communist (ping pong diplomacy) in sporting events

Four games in Canada and four in Russia

Canada wins the series on a goal with 30 seconds left by Paul Henderson

Canada would later boycott the 1980 olympics in Moscow as a result of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan 

The Soviets would do the same in Los Angeles in 1984 (the most medals Canada ever got) 

Summary

 The 1972 Summit Series was a large event for Canada thanks to the goal scored by Paul Henderson against the Russians in the last 30 seconds on the game. Never has a single sporting moment meant so much to so many Canadians a sense of unparalleled nationalism. This was a large step after WWII because it was the first approach to world events.
