Hi everyone! School has officially started for every child here in Ottawa, meaning that things are getting busy here at the homestead. I’m hoping it doesn’t slow down my updates, but if it does you’ll know why. In the meantime, lots of new stuff to share with you this week.

This week, I stumbled upon a fascinating article about the San Francisco Seals’ (and later Oakland/California Golden Seals’) legendary broadcaster Roy Storey. I had no idea how many health scares he went through in his life, especially before and during the Seals’ championship runs in 1963 and 1964. I invite you all to read up on a sometimes forgotten member of the Seals family.

In the Overexposed wing of the Hockey Hall of Shame, check out this brand new card of the Hartford Whalers’ Dave Barr. It’s time to break out the Crayolas, folks, so you know what that means… bad 80s airbrushing!

If anyone is interested in reading a new review of my book, please check out Sal Barry’s site Puck Junk. You can check it out at the following link: http:// http://puckjunk.com/2019/07/22/book-review-the-california-golden-seals/. Sal’s site has all kinds of interesting articles about hockey books, hockey cards, and other hockey-related topics, and it is updated quite frequently so there’s always lots of new stuff. With hockey season around the corner, there’s sure to be a surge of new material.

Until next time, stay gold!
