Hi everyone! You’ve certainly picked a good day to come visit this site! Thanks to subscriber Pete Manzolillo, who came through in the clutch once again with some exciting new material that needed to be shared with all of you. An organization called Northeast Historic Film has been restoring and making available all sorts of rare 8mm film, and many of these films include some great 1970s NHL action. You should pay them a visit at www.oldfilm.org to check out their wonderful archive of found footage, including several old hockey clips from Boston Garden.

This week, I urge you to check out a fantastic 20-minute highlight reel from the first two periods of the Seals-Bruins game from March 14, 1976. The footage is beautifully restored, and includes only crowd noise, making it feel like you truly are at the Boston Garden watching the game unfold. You can check out this found footage for yourself over in the Video and Audio section.

And I have even more good news! In the coming weeks, I’ll be posting some new video clips as well as a book review for George Pesut’s new tome (I still have about 100 pages left to read), so be sure to check back later this month.

For those of you in and around Ottawa, I will be at the Capital Trade Show selling copies of my books and a wide array of hockey cards as well. The event takes place on Sunday, March 9 from 10-3 at the Nepean Sportsplex on Woodroffe Avenue, so if you’ve got a hankering to shop for old (or new) hockey cards and memorabilia, why don’t you stop in!

Until next time, stay gold!
