A fight breaks out during a World Junior Hockey game between Canada and Russia in Piestany, Czechoslovakia(1987). A Russian player comes off the bench to help his teammate, and the Canadians quickly follow by jumping on to the ice; which results in a big team vs team fight. Canada was going for gold and wining by a score of 4 – 2, but both teams were disqualified from the tournament as a result of the fight.

• The “Punch-up in Piestany” erupted halfway through the final game of the 1987 world junior hockey championship. Canada was assured a medal, and would have moved ahead of Finland for the gold if they had beaten the Soviets by at least five goals.
• The blow-up began as a fight between Pavel Kostichkin and Theoren Fleury. Four Soviet players left their bench to join the brawl, and then all the players on both teams swarmed onto the ice.

I have to admit I’m one of those Canadians that have become enraptured by the World Junior Hockey Championships – the tournament no one else in the world cares about. But to give me a little credit, this brand of hockey is good. It’s fierce competition with pure pride and country on the line. It’s the Canadian version of NCAA March Madness.
With only seconds remaining and down by 1 in the semi-finals of the 2009 World Junior Hockey Championships, Canada needs a goal against their rivals Russia to keep the ‘drive for five alive’ (5 consecutive gold medals). With hope fading fast, the impossible happens and the rest is history. This has recently been ranked by TSN as the number one World Junior moment in the last five years. Here’s my take on this marquee event. Enjoy.

The Soviet national ice hockey team, or USSR national ice hockey team was the national hockey team of the Soviet Union.
The Soviets were one of the most dominant teams of all time in international play. The team won nearly every world championships and Olympic tournament between 1954 and 1991 held by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).
Due to the questionable nature of the amateur status of the Soviet players, their participation in the Olympics was questioned. The controversy was about the IIHF’s definition of amateurs and professionals. However, the Soviets were generally dominant in amateur and professional tournaments alike.
