If you're a hockey fan, or of a certain age, and certainly if you're Canadian, you know of Paul Henderson.

While it's said fame is fleeting, Henderson's fame has endured for 37 years. It was his goal in the final game of 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union that beat the Russians, gave Canada a win for the ages and set off celebrations all over the country.

"From the country's point of view, it was the greatest goal of all," Canes general manager Jim Rutherford said today.

Henderson, who spends much of his time as a motivational speaker, will appear at the RBC Center on Wednesday night in an event hosted by the Canadian Expat Network and in conjunction with the Raleigh Youth Hockey Association. While he said he may talk of "pursuing dreams," he surely will talk of the dreamy events of '72.
