In February, 1987, the NHL
All Star Game was set aside for one season. In its place was two
game series in Quebec City that pitted the NHL All Stars against
what many people call the strongest team ever iced - The Soviet
National Team! There was no clear winner as each side won one game a
piece, although the Soviets did score 1 more goal than did the NHL
All Stars. Wayne Gretzky led all players with 4 assists, but he was
upstaged by the spectacular play of big Russian left winger Valerie
Kamensky. Kamensky would later be allowed to play in Quebec City
with the Nordiques when he was first cleared to play in the National
Hockey League.
Below is a game by game
