In August 1968 The Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia ending an anticommunist uprising known as the "Prague Spring". Less than a year later the Czechs defeated the Soviets twice to win the 1969 World Ice Hockey Championships. All I can find on the net are scattered references to the match, such as the the link below. These matchups were apparently extremely intense and rough, because of the political situation.
Anyways, reps for any detailed accounts of the games, especially videos, either Youtube or available for purchase.
