Hi everyone! Welcome back to all of you, I hope. I came to realize a few days ago that this site’s subscribers haven’t been receiving any updates for the last few weeks. Oops! Sorry about that. My bad. I’m still having a few issues with WordPress, and in trying to resolve them, I think I made everything worse. The good news is that I think I’ve made everything right again, so hopefully you’ve all received an e-mail update like in the good old days of October 2019.

So what’s happened since you were all cut off from the Seals’ world? Well, first you need to turn your eyes slightly to the right to see the 2020 nominees for the Seals Hall of Fame. If you’d like any details about this year’s eight deserving candidates, I invite you to check out these men’s biographies in the Seals Hall of Fame section here.

In the articles section, there is a new piece from the January 14, 1970 San Francisco Examiner. The article is about the Seals’ struggles during the 1969-70 season and how several players were on the verge of being sent down to the minors. It also explores Fred Glover’s personality and how the media of the time perceived him. It is an interesting piece and well worth the two minutes it will take to read it, and you can find it in the Seals/Barons articles section.

There are also some new photos up of Gilles Meloche’s Cleveland Barons jersey which now resides in the Hockey Hall of Fame. You can find them right here.

I also received an e-mail from Eric Weltner, whose documentary “International Incidents” includes a history of the Columbus Golden Seals, the California Seals’ IHL farm club. The documentary premieres TODAY so be sure to check it out. The trailer is here: https://vimeo.com/372635845 and the official Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/Internationalincidents/.

Whoa, that’s a lot of new stuff, so enjoy! Until next time, stay gold!
