On this day:
In 1972, with 34 seconds remaining in game eight of the Summit Series between Team Canada and Team Russia in Moscow, Paul Henderson scored the winning goal in a 6-5 victory for Canada. The win gave Canada four wins in the classic hockey series to Russia’s three; one game ended in a tie. The first four games were played in Canada; games five to eight took place in Russia.

Today’s weather:
Wednesday, September 28, is expected to be cloudy with a 60 per cent chance of showers. A high of 18 degrees Celsius is forecast during the day, dropping to a low of 12 degrees in the evening. For the full 12-hour and seven-day qathet region weather forecast, go to our weather page.
