marked the 50th anniversary of his attendance at the ’72 Summit Series by reliving the momentous occasion for the CBC, Canada’s oldest existing broadcasting network. In 1972, Jim travelled from his home in Newfoundland to Moscow, Russia, for the final four games of the series, witnessing the game-winning goal scored by Paul Henderson, one of the most legendary goals in the history of hockey. Jim recounted the details of his trip, from the plane ride and intimidating experience with Russian customs officers to his foray into the Luzhniki Sports Palace to watch Game 5 alongside a slew of Russian soldiers. He described the bonds built with strangers whose only commonality was the desire to see Canada dominate on the ice. “It was really the first time I felt Canadian,” Jim stated to the CBC reporter. In an article in the fall 2012 Andrean marking 40 years since the series, Jim said it was as if the 3,000 fans formed a support team, wrapping themselves in Canadian flags and making as much noise as possible to inspire the players. After the winning goal in Game 8, Jim and his 2,999 new friends broke into a rousing rendition of O Canada.
