Hi everyone! It has been one interesting week to say the least. The Canadian federal government workers have been on strike since Wednesday, meaning my school, which teaches French to said government employees, has been rather quiet the last few days. Not like “early Covid days” quiet, but quiet nonetheless. It has been rather pleasant in a way. Very few student complaints have been rolling into my inbox. I’ve had a bit more time during the day to browse the Internet for Seals-related things and a few days ago, I stumbled upon a very interesting website that pays tribute to former Seals first-round pick Ralph Klassen. I think you will all enjoy looking over it. It was created by a B.C. elementary school teacher to show his students how to do a proper research. The page contains several wonderful and rare photos of Klassen and his teammates in action, both in Seals and Barons uniforms. There is also lots of cool shots of Seals and Barons memorabilia, not to mention other great photos of Klassen’s career in junior hockey , in international hockey and with the Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Blues. Overall, it is a very warm tribute to a talented, but often overlooked member of the franchise. For those of you who were fans of the team’s later years, you will surely feel the warm and fuzzies perusing the Klassen site, which you can find here.

That’s about it for this week. I hope you all have a great weekend, and I hope to see you back here soon. Until next time, stay gold!
