Happy Trade Deadline Day! If you could add one of the following four players from Team Canada 1972 (in his prime) to your favourite team’s current NHL roster: who are you trading for? #Summit72 @hockeyesque CBC Gem Ravi Baichwal @nickdepencier Meghan Chayka

Calling all vintage gear sleuths! Jeremy in Caorlina sent us pics of a stick a Soviet player gave his grandfather—a Montréal bartender. When is this stick from and which Soviet team would have been passing through town? We have a theory, but want to hear what you think!

Originally thought to be 30 tins of film in the HHOF, our team had access to 100 tins of Al Stewart's 1972 16mm time capsule. We lovingly transferred the precious footage to breathtaking 4K, much of it unseen until now. Watch #Summit72 on CBC Gem or DVD/Blu-ray from Unobstructed View of Coming Distractions

What's been the best part of working on #Summit72? Ask our team and we'll all agree: the stories! All the amazing stories people have shared with us, from players and fans alike. Thanks again to Rick Smith for sharing his!

Director @nickdepencier's favourite scene: "It's everything you could want to tunnel into the past: newsreel voice-of-god narration, grown men looking ridiculous in their underwear, an expert expounding on fitness while smoke from his offscreen cigarette wafts through the frame."

Our Summit 72 crew looking sharp at last night’s The Canadian Academy News, Documentary & Factual Awards. Congrats to fellow nominees and to Underground Railroad for winning Best Historical Doc. Extra shoutout to our own @nickdepencier on best cinematography for, The Colour of Ink!

With the #StanleyCupPlayoffs starting tonight, we look back on one of our our favourite #Summit72 stories from Yvan Cournoyer... @hockeyesque Ravi Baichwal @nickdepencier CBC Gem Team Canada 1972 Canadiens Montréal NHL

Director Ravi Baichwal on his favourite #Summit72 moment: My favorite moment is, of course, The Goal in episode four. The lead up to it, the suspense building both in the natural history as well as the cinematography — and then the payoff of emotion unleashed in its aftermath.

Robert MacAskill on a fav scene from #Summit72: “At the end of Ep.2 as Team Canada departs for Europe in disgrace. We cut to Triumph’s “Fight the Good Fight”—I found the result poignant, emotional and sympathetic to the great NHL stars en route to defend Canadian hockey honour.

SuperZen They did and it is glorious. So well done. It is on CBC Gem. Summit 72
