USSR
Team Canada -~-
Here we see the index rating of the Soviet and
Team Canada squads at the end of the series as
compared with the index after four ' games in
Canada with a number of the vitally important
game components which have been measured so
far. This indicates .the pattern change from the
first half of the series and explains, statistically,
how Team Canada improved its position. Reasons
, why Team Canada , improved on the index suf-
ficiently to edge out the Soviet squad, include the
effects of a better condition level, resulting from
the fact that Team . Canada had to play at
maximum tempo in order to stay alive; the effect
of working with 'a 'smaller, dedicated team; ad-
justment by the players and Coach Sinden, and the
added pressure on the Russians playing before a
USSR
Team Canada
home crowd, trying to nail down the series. In
spite of this overall improvement, however, it was
the edge in individual skill that finally pulled the
trick, as we predicted, plus the leadership of Phil
Esposito, great goalkeeping (better than the
Soviets, as predicted) and total -team courage. The
key role of - Henderson is explained elsewhere. In
June I predicted in the Sports & Fitness Instructor
that unless full pre -series preparation was
organized we would pave a very tough time and
said, "It will be 6-5 either way and I°'won't bet a
nickel." Though the .series was won, . it proved
conclusively that Soviet hockey is on a par with the
best the NHL has to offer and that we must further
improve our development system if we are to stay
with them in the future. R.
It isn't difficult
if you know: how
By LLOYD PERCIVAL
Ever since the Soviet -Team
Canada series started, and now
after the final game is over, I have
been literally deluged with letters
and telephone calls asking how we
were able- to predict what was
going to happen so accurately.
In our , total pre -series
evaluation, which involved a
measurement of physical factors,
mechanical skills and potential
strategy, we had the scales tipped"
just a little in Team Canada's favor
with the final Sport's Power Index
total reading 2388 for Canada and
2383 for the Soviet.
In answer to the many queries
how this was done so accurately, it
was strictly a matter of applying a'
method of research "evaluation we
have developed at the Fitness
Institute. This research was based
on a comparative study of Soviet
hockey °and the NHL. Such an
evaluation system can be used in
many ways to help evaluate the
needs of any individual athlete or
any team along with the methods
required to further strengthen
strong points and reinforce weak
areas.
There was no magic to it
(perhaps a little luck), but just a
lot of intensive work conducted in
an organized scientific manner -It
is in the .application of such
procedures that we can now set to
work to pull our hockey up 'to a
level where we can improve it to
the point where future challenges
will not involve so much' concern.
