Hi everyone!  Welcome back to Golden Seals Hockey, your one-stop shop for everything Seals-related.  There are a few new things that are waiting in the wings to be published on the site, so hold on to your hats for the next few weeks.  There is a massive new stats section that is coming soon, so if you’ve ever wanted to know how many hat-tricks Bobby Murdoch scored as a member of the team, or who is the WHL franchise leader in goals by a right wing, boy are you going to be one happy camper!  Stay tuned for this next week.

Also, I’ve recently been shown the cover for my Seals book, The California Golden Seals: a Tale of White Skates, Red Ink, and One of the NHL’s Most Outlandish Teams.  It looks great and features an excellent black-and-white shot of Gilles Meloche, Stan Weir, and Terry Murray in the Seals’ classic yellow home uniforms and white skates.  Unfortunately, I can’t show it to you, as there are still some legal aspects that need to be taken care of, but once that is settled, I’ll be sure to post it in the photos section.

Not much else to say about this week, except that there is a wonderful new addition, featuring a certain “magnificent” NHL legend, to the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame.

Other than that, I hope you all enjoy the final stretch drive of the NHL season, which is featuring some pretty tight races right now.  If you’re on the site right now as the game blares in the background, don’t forget to vote for the Seal you believe deserves to be inducted into the franchise’s Hall of Fame, and you can also sign up for my weekly e-mail blast by typing in your e-mail address in the bar near the top of the page.

Until next time, stay gold!
