CCCP HOCKEY DYNASTY: THE INCEPTION OF A RED TIDAL WAVE

For nearly four decades, commencing in 1954, and running all the way through 1991, the USSR dominated the sport of International hockey on the world stage. During that time period, the Soviet Red Army Men's Ice Hockey Team totally and thoroughly demolished virtually every single opponent that was unlucky enough to go up against them. They smashed their opposition to smithereens. In a phrase, it was a suicide mission to play the Soviet Union at ice hockey; because you were going to lose; and lose badly. In 913 International games, they won an astonishing 738 times, with another 65 ending in a draw. That translates into an unbelievable .808 win/loss percentage; unheard of in the history of sports. In the phenomenal book, CCCP HOCKEY DYNASTY, brilliant author, Timothy J. Thompson details how this awesome sports dynasty came to be. He explains the influence of, Bandy, the importance of government support and backing, the team's unique training methods, the coaching philosophy, and offensive tactics that each played an integral part in the volcanic rise of Soviet hockey. The Soviet's had the greatest dynasty in the history of hockey. This great book traces the inception of it.
