Hi everyone! I’m going to do something a bit different this week, as I’m not really adding anything Seals-related to the site. Rather, I’m taking this opportunity to announce the launch of my new website, Coca-ColaCup76.com! As you can probably guess by the site’s name, it is all about the Coca-Cola Bottlers’ Cup series of 1976, between the Washington Capitals and Kansas City Scouts. It isn’t as vast a site as Golden Seals Hockey, as it is meant to promote my new book on the Capitals and Scouts’ first two NHL seasons and their memorable trip to Japan, but there are still lots of goodies to be found, notably not one but TWO interviews I have recently done about the book. The first interview is of course the one I did with Tim Hanlon of Good Seats Still Available, and the second one, which was recorded less than two weeks ago, was with Mike Vogel of Break the Ice, a Washington Capitals-themed podcast. I think you will find that both interviews were very unique in that much of what was discussed in one, was not at all discussed in the other. In other words, not a whole lot of overlap. What you get is about two-and-a-half total hours of great stories, insight, and banter about what was a terribly underappreciated and mostly forgotten footnote of NHL history.

You will also find several rare photos from the Coca-Cola Cup series, courtesy of former KC Scout Robin Burns. Many of these photos do not appear in the book, so you are all in for a real treat. There are also some fantastic newspaper articles detailing each of the four games played in Japan. You can also order autographed copies of the book directly from me. Like I said, lots of goodies, indeed, and I’ll add a few things here and there as well!

Umm… I’m touched that you are still reading what I’ve posted, but seriously, why are you still here? What are you waiting for? DUDE, GO TO COCA-COLACUP76.COM NOW!

Until next time, stay gold!
