Curtis Kleisinger is shown with his autographed Paul Henderson jersey. Kleisinger was born Sept. 28, 1972 — the same day Henderson scored the Summit Series-winning goal against Russia.The day began in rather hectic fashion for Ken Kleisinger and his wife, Mona. After Curtis arrived early in the morning, Ken hurried to work at Regina Silk Screen Industries before rushing home to watch Game 8 of Canada versus Russia, which was played during the daytime in North America.
“Cournoyer has it on that wing. Here’s a shot. Henderson made a wild stab for it and fell. Here’s another shot. Right in front, they score! Henderson has scored for Canada!”Article content Tim Tress, shown earlier this year, was a student at Spring Valley School when Paul Henderson scored his historic goal in 1972.Not Tim Tress, however.
“My family wasn’t really sports-minded but David, who had just started Grade 8, had my family watching as many games of the series as possible. “Hockey hadn’t interested me until watching that Summit Series,” Tress says. “I was more into watching cartoons and half-hour comedy shows. “I was looking over Ken Dryden’s shoulders, basically,” says Hewitt, 67. “When Henderson scored, I was shocked. It was unbelievable.”As a prominent administrator in Regina minor hockey at the time, Earl had learned through another volunteer that tour packages to Moscow were available.
