Hi everyone! Well, it’s been one helluva roller-coaster ride this year, hasn’t it? As we gleefully push 2022 off the edge of the proverbial cliff and greet 2023 like a white knight coming to save us from a smoking dragon’s fiery breath, let us take the time to celebrate! Subscriber Chuck Nan sent me a request to add a mention of some of the celebratory moments in Seals history, which sounded like a good idea to me. He wrote three short pieces about four moments when the hockey world celebrated the Seals, and I have posted them to the site. You can read Chuck’s pieces here. Thanks so much, Chuck!

I hope all of you had yourselves a very Happy Holiday, and that you were able to spend some quality time with family and friends. Happy New Year to you as well! Be sure to celebrate and drink responsibly. And if you are like me and your significant other is working an evening shift, and you are responsible for giving your offspring a bath and putting them to bed on New Year’s Eve, and celebrating the New Year is almost completely out of the question, I hope you enjoy a little hockey, whether it be NHL style or the World Junior level. Either way, you really can’t go wrong. Just make sure to set the PVR so you don’t miss anything. Little tip from one Dad to all the other parents of young children out there.

Until next time, stay gold!
