Canadian Hero: Paul Henderson

On the anniversary of game 8 of the 1972 Summit Series, there can be no other choice for the GreatestHockeyLegends.com player of the day: Paul Henderson

This great picture is of Henderson on October 1st, 1972, getting his first look at the Toronto Star coverage of the Summit Series upon his return to Canada.

By the way, the excellent website Black Dog Hates Skunks has some great posts about the 1972 Summit Series this month. Be sure to take a look.
