James Nill
John Devaney
Paul MacLean (only member not born in Canada)
Daniel D'Alvise
Kenneth Berry
David Hindmarch

Stelio Zupancich

Devaney, Berry, and Primeau each scored 4 goals
Maxwell had 5 assists
Devaney and Hindmarch had 7 points
D'Alvise and Berry had 8 PIM each


Bob, Canada and the US did indeed play several times (US Game #s, Canada didn't publicize their schedule at the time)
Game #16  USA 7 Canada 2
Game #17 USA 6 Canada 0
Game #31 Canada 7 USA 6
Game #32 Canada 6 USA 2
Game #33 Canada 4 USA 3
Game #34 Canada 2 USA 1
Game #41 USA 3 Canada 1 

Also of Note:
Game #11  Minnesota North Stars 4 USA 2
Game #12  St. Louis Blues 9 USA 1
Game #13 Atlanta Flames 6 USA 1
Game #14 Washington Capitals 5 USA 4
*** These games failed to get mentioned in the movie 'Miracle'

Canada played 3 games against NHL competition and failed to score a goal losing 2-0 and 5-0 to Vancouver, and 4-0 to Winnipeg.


Re: Donald Spring
The Canadian Olympic Committee claims he was born in Canada (as per U of A records)
The NHL records list him as being born in Venezuela (and considering they have John Tonelli listed incorrectly, I have no reason to assume that Spring's birthplace is correct)
I talked to him about 15 years ago and he refuses to acknowledge where he was born.

The squad played the U.S a few times in Exhibition and beat them soundly leading up to the Olympics (someone told me this or I read it somewhere).

 Perhaps Cyren can confirm or deny.

 Remember, all of Canada's best were playing in the NHL. Imagine the team they could have had on the ice.

Claudia · Answer

Why should we care when we get to see all your best players play on a daily basis in the NHL which if I remember correctly is mostly in the USA. Thats right I get to watch Marty Brodeur every game. Oh and how about the Final in the Juniors Championship?

Anonymous · Answer

Good input cyrenaka .. seems Dr. Gregg and Andy got their share of hardware while on the Oilers to make up for the 6th place finish.

And a slight correction - Don Spring was born in Venezuela (as you kinda mentioned, Paul MacLean was born in France)
