1979 Challenge Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1979 Challenge Cup was an ice hockey exhibition series between the Soviet national ice hockey team and a team of all-stars from the National Hockey League, held in New York City. It replaced the NHL's all-star festivities for the 1978-79 NHL season.
The Challenge Cup, unlike its predecessor, the Summit Series, included non-Canadian born players in the NHL rosters. The games were played on February 8, February 10, and February 11 at Madison Square Garden.
