On the Way to School
A look at the bizarre history of the defunct NHL team: The California Golden Seals. (1967-76) Famous for their white skates and losing record, the club tried desperately to compete, only to face an almost unbelievable string of obstacles. The California Golden Seals were one of the greatest hopes....and biggest disappointments of the NHL's 1967 Great Expansion from six teams to twelve. During their nine-year existence, the management of the Seals made nearly every mistake possible. Their story includes white ice skates, orange pucks, future superstars that slipped through their fingers, a tragic on-ice death, an out-of-control owner, a female streaker, Tom Hanks, Wayne Gretzky, a cheerleader named Krazy George, and even the Hell's Angels. —Mark Greczmiel
