	California Golden Seals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The California Golden Seals were a team in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1967-76.
		The San Francisco Seals were one such team from the WHL, and after it was purchased by Barry van Gerbig and moved across the bay to a new arena in Oakland, the Seals joined the NHL.
		The franchise was named California Seals in an attempt to appeal to fans from San Francisco, and to address complaints from the other NHL teams that Oakland was not a considered a major league city and would not be a draw for fans.

		The California name was chosen to give the team a broader appeal than the name "Oakland" would have lent, and to appease the N.H.L. brass who wanted the team to identify with San Francisco.
		The Oakland Seals moniker was retained for three seasons from 1967-68 to 1969-70.
		The Seal's Finley era ended in 1974 when the N.H.L. took control of the franchise and the Seals lost their trademark white skates.

	physics - Oakland Seals
		The Seals originally played out of the Oakland Arena, but were never successful because of the poor attendance of the team (van Gerbig had reportedly threated to move the team elsewhere on numerous occasions if fans did not show up) as well as their dismal on-ice performance.
		Before the 1970-71 NHL season, the Seals were bought by flamboyant Oakland Athletics owner Charlie O. Finley, who changed the team's name to the California Golden Seals, among other gimmicks intended to sell the team to the fans (among them the changing of the Seals' team colors to match that of the Athletics).
		However, this was all for naught, as the Seals finished with the worst record in the NHL that year, and a series of promotional disasters would lead to the NHL assuming control of the franchise in February of 1974.

		The Seals were in the NHL for 9 seasons.
		The Seals also wore green and gold and then white skates which, according to one player, made it look like they were skating on stumps when people watched the team on TV since the skates blended in with the ice.
		The Seals also had a woman streak across the ice on skates during a home game in a plan that was engineered by one of professional sports' first professional cheerleaders, the inventor of the wave, "Krazy George" Henderson who was a fixture at Seals home games.

		In fact, when the NHL began considering expanding in the 1960s, much consideration was given to simply annexing the WHL to quickly extend the league's reach to western North America.
		Moving through the WHL playoffs, the Seals rode into the finals on the back of goaltender McLeod, who had led the league in regular-season wins with 43 and would end up with the playoff highs in wins (10) and shutouts (3).
		Storey, widely considered as one of the top sportscasters in the Bay Area during this era, later made it to the NHL as voice of the California Golden Seals in 1970-71 and 1971-72 (on San Jose's KEEN) before heading down south with the Los Angeles Kings for the 1972-73 season.
