Hi everyone! Lots of new stuff on the site this week to help you get over the Canadian Olympic hockey teams’ disastrous tournaments. First, I’ve added a link to a new interview I did with Tony Basilio. In his Book Corner segment, which you can access here.
I’ve also added a new review of Tim Ryan’s autobiography, On Someone’s Else’s Nickel: a Life in Television, Sports, and Travel. As some of you may know, Ryan was the public relations director for the Seals during their first NHL campaign, and he also called several Seals games over the radio. Like many other Seals employees, he went on to bigger and better things, and you can read all about his interesting life in his new book.
Finally, a brand new induction to the Hockey Hall of Shame. This week, we delve into one of the greatest Hockeywood Disasterpieces of all-time, the absolutely putrid Slap Shot 3: The Junior League! Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Don’t forget to vote for your candidates for the Seals Hall of Fame. You can cast your vote on the right-hand side of the screen, and you can vote for up to three people.
If you like the stuff posted this week, keep coming back for more surprises, articles, and goodies related to your favourite defunct franchise and hockey’s past. Until next time, stay gold!
