In 1974 Loyola athletic director ED ENOS organized a sports study group to MOSCOW. I was selected to lead the hockey section which included coaches from pro, junior and universities in CANADA and the UNITED STATES. We spent 3weeks in MOSCOW attending daily lectures at THE MOSCOW INSTITUTE OF SPORT from the top RUSSIAN coaches. It was a great experience for a young coach and I'll always remember FRED SHERO telling stories about the antics of fellow islander FORBES KENNEDY, being followed around the city by the KGB and the RUSSIANS calling out the name ESPOSITO when they learned we were CANADIANS. Certainly the 72 CANADA -RUSSIA SERIES was one of the most important hockey events ever and this clinic in MOSCOW helped a lot of coaches improve their technical skills.
