By SCOTT WHITE Canadian Press Team Canada, a collection of NHL stars who rekindled national hockey pride by defeating the mighty Soviet team in the heart-stopping Canada Cup tournament, has been selected Canada’s team of the year in a poll by The Canadian Press. The Canadian team, led by superstars Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, was the overwhelming choice of sports- writers and broadcasters in the annual poll by the national news-gathering co-operative and its affiliate, Broadcast News.

Not since 1972, when Paul Henderson scored the winning goal in the final game of the first Canada-Soviet Summit Series, had Canadians been so captivated with an international hockey series as they were with this year's Canada Cup. “It gave a new generation something close to the 1972 win in the Soviet Union,” says Alan Eagleson, Canada’s top international hockey negotiator and the creator of the Canada Cup tournaments. “Until this Canada cup, people really didn't have the same feeling as "72.” The for hockey was throughout the country not just because Team Canada won, but because of the way they won. GAMES WERE CLOSE All three games of the final series against,the Soviets after the first eight minutes, but the Canadians battled back and led 5-4 after the second period.
