Original Toronto Star caption: First meeting of Team Canada and Soviet Union's hockey team was somewhat less formal than tomorrow evening's will be when the teams open their first hockey world series. At least; it's a world series in every sense but officially. Russians won't jeopardize amateur status; so the series is labelled exhibition. Above; Boston Bruins' goalie Ed Johnston; left; oldest man on Team Canada; at 36; and New York defenceman Brad Park; meet Viacheslav Soludhkin; right.
