"I can't say enough about how amazing the figure Glenn created is. He nailed every last detail of me in my uniform during my playing days, down to the exact cleats, socks, and gloves. I have always wanted a custom figure of my college days, and the minute I spoke to Glenn on the phone, i knew i had just found the perfect artist- skilled, passionate, and 100% committed to getting the figure done exactly correct. He communicated through the entire process to make sure each detail was correct. The figure is a true work of art, I could not be happier.

Glenn,
The figure you did for Jake is just amazing beyond words. Can't thank you enough. We both love it and looking at it brings back that last play like it just happened!

The Canadians battled with the ferocity and intensity of a cornered animal
-Soviet coach Anatoli Tarasov
In the 60s and 70s the European teams, especially the Soviets, came to dominate amateur hockey, a sport that previously had been a strictly Canadian domain. In the Olympics, the Soviets could stack its team with elite players while in Canada elite players were excluded as at that time only amateur athletes could compete in the Olympics. As such Canadians disregarded these amateur defeats as empty foreign victories because everyone knew that Canada’s best wasn’t playing. The Soviets sought to break what they saw as the “Invincible Canadian” myth and so the 1972 Summit Series, officially named The Friendship Series was born. Pitting the best of both nations against each other, the summit was to be played in arenas of both countries to see who was really the number one in Hockey. It was in the final of the series that Frank Lennon snapped this iconic picture, taken just after the “goal heard around the world”.
