1987 Canada Cup
Encyclopedia
The 1987 Canada Cup was a professional international ice hockey tournament held from August 28 to September 15, 1987. The finals took place in Montreal
on September 11 and Hamilton, Ontario
, on September 13 and September 15, and were won by Team Canada
.
The final three-game series of this tournament between Canada
and the Soviet Union
is considered by many to be the best exhibition of hockey in history. At the time, Soviet players were not allowed to pursue playing careers in North America
, and so it was only through tournaments like this one where hockey fans could see them exhibit their skills head-to-head against the best of the National Hockey League
(NHL). While many fans may have rooted against the Soviet team, few questioned their skills.
The tournament also was the only time in a meaningful contest that the two most dominant NHL players of the last quarter century, Wayne Gretzky
and Mario Lemieux
, played on the same forward unit.

Finals (best-of-3)
Three thrilling 6-5 games decided the '87 Canada Cup.
In Game 1, Canada erased a 4-1 second period deficit to send the game to overtime, only to lose on Alexander Semak
's goal at 5:33 of the extra frame.
In Game 2, which is considered by some to be the greatest hockey game ever played, Canada led 3-1 after one period, but this time it was the Soviets who came from behind to tie it 3-3 in the second. Canada scored twice more, each time Mario Lemieux
assisted by Wayne Gretzky
, but the Soviets replied each time. The tying goal was a brilliant end-to-end rush by Valeri Kamensky
with 1:04 remaining in regulation time. After a scoreless period of overtime, which featured some brilliant goaltending from Grant Fuhr
, Gretzky and Lemieux hooked up for the third time of the evening at 10:07 of the second overtime. It was the fifth assist for Gretzky on the night and completed a hat trick
for Lemieux.
Despite the thrilling victory, Team Canada got off to a slow start in the decisive third game. The Soviets stunned all of Canada by scoring three times in the first eight minutes to take a 3-0 lead. Canada's grinders took over after that (particularly Rick Tocchet
, Brent Sutter
and Dale Hawerchuk
), and pulled Canada into a 5-4 lead after two periods. The Soviets tied it back up in the third and the game looked like it would head to overtime again. But late in the third period, Canada coach Mike Keenan
sent the Gretzky-Lemieux-Hawerchuk line out to play, with a faceoff in Canada's end. After the faceoff, Gretzky, Lemieux and Larry Murphy counter-attacked down the ice. Young Soviet defenseman Igor Kravchuk
was the only man back and he fell down to block a pass across but Gretzky fed the pass back to Lemieux, who fired a shot over the glove of goaltender Sergei Mylnikov
with 1:26 remaining. The Gretzky to Lemieux play is one of the most memorable plays in Canadian hockey history.
