“World Hockey Association Comin' on Strong” Rememb
™ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Laurence Kaiser [email protected] Norb Ecksl [email protected] WORLD HOCKEY ASSOCIATION 50TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION LAS VEGAS – (January 22, 2021) To commemorate a very special day in sports history, many of the remaining members of the World Hockey Association, fans and celebrities will gather to celebrate the existence of the WHA that was born 50 years before. This reunion will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada from October 7, 2022 through October 11, 2022 where great and treasured moments will be fondly remembered. “WORLD HOCKEY ASSOCIATION COMIN’ ON STRONG” “The WHA means a lot to me and it was a very important part of my life. I look forward to being there and seeing everyone,” stated hockey legend Bobby Hull. “We are getting together for this great cause so that the WHA is remembered for the things it did for the game of hockey. I will enjoy reminiscing and hope that many of you will join me to celebrate.” Hull, the Golden Jet, is committed to the cause and will be in Las Vegas for the entire celebration. We are also honoring the godfather of the WHA and the original “disruptor” of professional sports, Dennis A. Murphy, along with other luminaries. REMEMBERING “A DAY THAT CHANGED THE GAME” The WHA had a great impact in changing the game of hockey in North America and abroad when the impossible happened. The fledgling league challenged the long- established National Hockey League (NHL), and for seven seasons presented an entertaining version of our great game. It all started as the puck dropped on October 11, 1 1972, when the Alberta Oilers defeated the Ottawa Nationals, 7-4, and the Cleveland Crusaders shutout the Quebec Nordiques, 2-0.

1 The Prague Spring It was much more than ice hockey, of course. It was a replay of a lost war. It started with an uprising, but it ended with a hockey game. Around 4:30 on the morning of August 21, 1968, a black Volga limousine, its bulbous, large headlights leading the way, sped from the Soviet embassy in Prague toward Czech Communist Party headquarters. Over the years, the black Volga limousine had become mythologized throughout Eastern Europe as the vehicle commonly involved in the abduction of citizens. In the early morning, thisCOPYRIGHTED particular Volga was trailed MATERIAL by a convoy of Soviet tanks. When the convoy arrived at Communist Party headquarters, operations forces sealed the premises and cut off all phone con- tact with the outside world. With that done, a group of Soviet troops armed with machine guns entered the offi ce of Alexander Dubcek, who just six months earlier had been selected as fi rst secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. CC01.indd01.indd 1 33/27/12/27/12 112:032:03 PPMM 2 Breakaway Although a Soviet colonel had initially entered the offi ce, where Dubcek was meeting with members of his cabinet, it was two plainclothes offi cers—one old, one young—sporting tweed jackets and open-neck shirts who initiated the dialogue as soldiers stood by the door, machine guns in tow. “Comrade Dubcek,” they respectfully addressed him. “You are to come with us straight away.” “Who are you, what do you want?” Dubcek replied. By the time Dubcek and his colleagues were placed under arrest and escorted by KGB agents to a barracks in the Carpathian Mountains in what is now Ukraine, Operation Danube had over- taken Czechoslovakia.

A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*
A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound* Michael J. Doucet Abstract: One aspect of urban culture is examined to evaluate Toronto's position within the urban hierarchy, namely, the production of songs and sounds about the city. Although much music has been performed and created in Toronto over the years, and many songs have been urritten about a variety of features of life in the city, the musical images of Toronto remain largely unknown beyond its borders—even to many of the city's own residents. If Toronto is a "world-class city," the evidence for such a claim would have to be found on other dimensions than the one explored here. No one ever wrote / A single note / About Toronto. — Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster (19%) I find that lately, I'm missing old Toronto, Where bass is strong and drums are full of fire. — from the Lenny Breau song "New York City" (1987) No nation can exist by the balance sheet alone. Stories, song, dance, music, art and the rest are the lifeblood of a country, the cultural images defining a people just as surely as their geography and the gross national product. — Robert Lewis, editor of Maclean's (19%) Interestingly, though, we don't seem to have an immediately identifiable style. The last time anyone spoke about a 'Toronto Sound' [former Mayor] Alan Lamport was booting hippies out of Yorkville. Unlike a Nashville or Manchester, there isn't any one thing that makes you say 'That's Toronto' -- Bob Mackowycz, writer and broadcaster (1991) Toronto itself doesn't have a distinctive civic culture.
