| Additional Information: | This poster is part of a set of six made for the 1976 Canada Cup. We love how the athletes are depicted as romanticized heroes - which they would have been to fans of the sport. The team is set against a large Canadian flag, with the silhouette of the maple leaf prominent in the background. This poster would look great in any bedroom or man cave!
According to Wikipedia, "The 1976 Canada Cup was an international ice hockey tournament held September 2–15, 1976, in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, and Quebec City, Canada as well as in Philadelphia, United States. It was the first of five Canada Cup tournaments held between 1976 and 1991. The Canada Cup was the first true best-on-best world championship in hockey history as it allowed any player to represent their team regardless of amateur or professional status. Consequently, it marked the end of Canada's six-year boycott of the IIHF. The success of the event paved the way for greater use of professional players in the World Championship and Winter Olympics." |
