Hi everyone! We’re back after a one-week hiatus. Allow me to explain my absence. Last Friday, the wife and I, along with the two kids, went to a neighbour’s house for a barbecue. It was a nice night with good food, cold beer, and kids playing with themselves, meaning the adults got to sit back and just enjoy each other’s company. The kids had a great time spinning themselves silly on a disc-shaped swing. We only live about two minutes away, but we took the car anyway just because it was easier to drag the kids around and all their travel belongings. Anyway, we leave around 7:30 planning to put the kids to bed around 8, but our plans quickly changed. We get into the house around 7:32 or so and we’re there for about a minute, minute and a half when my son asks if he can watch a short TV show before putting on his pyjamas. Well, before he even finishes making his request, out came the vomit all over the couch and all over the living room floor. He did make it to the bathroom for the final explosion, which landed in the sink. Sooooo… that changed our plans. Now we’ve got two kids to put to bed AND a bunch of puke to clean up and a couch and floor to shampoo. That meant no site update that night. After that, my wife and I celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary so it wasn’t exactly the best time to concentrate on my hockey history website. Anyway, I’m back and I’ve got a new Seals article for you.

This week, we focus the spotlight on Al “Spud” MacAdam, one of three Prince-Edward-Island natives. Of course, Prince Edward Island is world famous for its potato production, which explains MacAdam’s nickname. This week’s article doesn’t really go much into MacAdam’s upbringing or home province, but it does allow MacAdam himself to weigh in on his hot start to the 1975-76 season, but also the Seals’ chances of success. What becomes clear when reading the article is that MacAdam was a very humble individual who certainly shied away from the limelight. Hope you enjoy it.

Until next time, stay gold!
