The 1987 Canada Cup between Canada and the Soviet Union was arguably the greatest hockey ever played in the history of the sport.

Canada Roster

HEAD COACH
Mike Keenan

FORWARDS
Glenn Anderson / Kevin Dineen / Mike Gartner / Doug Gilmour / Wayne Gretzky / Michel Goulet / Dale Hawerchuk / Claude Lemieux / Mario Lemieux / Mark Messier / Brian Propp / Brent Sutter / Rick Tocchet

DEFENSEMEN
Ray Bourque / Paul Coffey / Doug Crossman / Craig Hartsburg / Larry Murphy / James Patrick / Normand Rochefort

GOALTENDERS
Grant Fuhr / Ron Hextall / Kelly Hrudey


The Soviets had Sergei Makarov, Vladimir Krutov, Valeri Kamensky, Slava Fetisov, Igor Larionov, etc.

All 3 games were 6-5, and Lemieux's series winning goal from Gretzky is one of the greatest moments in hockey history.
