September 2, 1972. Montreal. The USSR national hockey team defeated Canadian NHL professionals with a crushing score of 7:3 in the opening match of the epochal USSR-Canada Summit Series. It was not just a game, it was a battle for their country that overturned the world's perception of hockey. Now the whole world knew him simply by the number '17'. Valeri Kharlamov, who scored 2 goals in that match, instantly soared to the pinnacle of fame. His dream came true — perseverance, sporting talent, and the harsh lessons of the great coach Anatoly Tarasov made 'number 17' a legend of world hockey.
