Super Series (1976-1991)
The Super Series were international ice hockey comparisons between club teams from the Soviet Ice Hockey League and the National Hockey League , which took place between 1976 and 1991 on North American soil. The games from 1983 are an exception, when instead of the Soviet club teams, the Sbornaja played several games against the North American professional clubs. The mode of the total of 18 played series was based heavily on the two Summit Series of the early 1970s, when the Soviet national team and the Canadian national team denied several comparisons with each other.
