Claude Lemieux was a forward for the Montreal Canadiens. During a Rendez-vous 87 match, he attacked the Soviet net defended by Sergei Belocheikine. In the midst of the Cold War, Rendez-vous 87 was an exceptional event that brought together an unusual array of the world’s best hockey players. It was also an opportunity for the Quebec government to promote tourism in the province, as evidenced by the advertising in the background.
