Wasn't it RendezVous 87 - a 3 game series with the NHL stars against the Soviets?  I beleive it was in Quebec City.

It was in Quebec but I thought it was only 2 games

In 1979 I know they held an NHL vs. Soviets Challenge Cup. I have no idea about '87. Does anyone have the logo for whatever event did take place.

The NHL replaced the 1987 All-Star game with a two-game series between the NHL All-Stars and the Societ National Team. The games were played at the Colisee in Quebec City, home of the Quebec Nordiques. The NHL'ers and the Soviets split the two-game series.

Thollander is correct with RendezVous 87 - a 3 game series with the NHL stars against the Soviets?  I beleive it was in Quebec City.

However it was only 2 games not 3
