This booklet of 10 Permanent domestic rate stamps celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Summit Series.
This stamp issue marks the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Canada-USSR hockey series, now known as the Summit Series. The stamp features an illustration by Gary Alphonso. It was inspired by a face-off between a Soviet player and Phil Esposito in Game 3 at the Winnipeg Arena, September 6, 1972. The 1970s-style ‘television’ frame of the stamp evokes the experience of the millions of Canadians who watched the games on TV, not only at home but also in schools and businesses across the country. The stamp is issued to inspire a sense of nostalgia and pride among Canadians who experienced the series and inform those who didn’t of a great moment in Canadian hockey history.
