An often forgotten-about aspect of the 1972 Summit Series was the fact that Canada also played exhibition games against Sweden and Czechoslovakia. The friendly game against the Czechoslovakian National Team came just 48 hours after the dramatic Canadian victory in game 8 in Moscow. When they originally scheduled the match the Canadian organizers were probably figuring that Team Canada would have just dusted off the Soviets with ease and would celebrate by handily defeating the Czechoslovakians. The two teams skated to a 3-3 tie. This handsome set of glassware was presented to commemorate the match and each of the six tumblers sports a copper crest and etched wording proclaiming Czechoslovakia Canada NHL, 30 Sept. 1972, Prague, in the Czech language. The scarce set of 5.5 inch glasses has been preserved in excellent-plus condition and this is the first time we have seen even one, let alone six in a group.
