Klipp från den legendariska uppvisningsmatchen. Trail Smoke Eaters representerade Kanada både i VM 1961 (guld) och VM 1963 (4:a). Det här var deras sista uppvisningsmatch i Sverige innan ishockey-VM i Stockholm 1963. Matchen spelades inför över 17 000 åskådare på Nya Ullevi i Göteborg 1963-02-28.
På Icehockey Wiki finns utförlig information om laget 1962-63.

Så här beskrivs uppvisningsmatchen:
Trail trounced the then World Champion Swedish Nationals 5-2, in one of the roughest games ever played in Sweden. Bobby Kromm has hit over the head by a piece of ice thrown by a fan, and suffered a badly gashed head, and had to be carried to the dressing room by the police. The Canadian players, apparently thinking Kromm was being arrested, rushed off the ice to help him. A free-for-all, involving both teams, broke out in the second period, and it took over half an hour to restore peace. Over 17,000 saw the game, with Canada serving 21 minutes in penalties, and the Swedes only two minors, despite the big brawl.
