1972 Team Canada: While younger readers may better associate themselves with the 2010 or 2002 Olympic gold-medal teams, or even the Wayne Gretzky-led Canada Cup champions of 1987, the ’72 squad is the granddaddy of them all. Paul Henderson’s Summit Series-clinching goal not only struck a blow for Canadian hockey against the might of the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, but for all of Canada. Even now, 38 years later, it remains a huge source of national pride, as witnessed by the $1.275-million that Henderson’s sweater fetched at auction last month. Paul Attfield
