Welcome to the The Seals: Homepage
Description
Brad Kurtzberg is the author of a forthcoming book on the California Seals. This book is over two years in the making and I have conducted over 100 interviews of former Seals players, coaches, employees and fans in preparation for this book. The book will be chock full of interesting and hilarious stories that recall a time when very few players wore helmets, the NHL was 95% Canadian, hippies roamed the streets of San Francisco, we had oil shortages, the Patty Hearst kidnapping and some great hockey. The Seals came along just when the NHL was doubling in size, the relationship between players and management was starting to change and the WHA was challenging the NHL for players and the attention of fans. This book contains references to everybody from Hell's Angels to Bing Crosby; Charlie Finley to Bill Torrey; Charles Schulz to Tom Hanks and of course, the players who made the Seals unique and special. Learn about the goalie who stripped between periods, the woman who streaked across the ice on skates, the crying coach, how to say "Seals" in French, what Charlie Finley really had planned for his hockey team, the Bill Masterton incident and so much more. This web site will have more information and details about the book and a place for you to share your memories about the Seals. This site and the book are a labor of love. I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
