Steve Currier is a hockey historian and member of the
Society for International Hockey Research. He lives in Ottawa,
Ontario, is a proud member of the Seals Booster Club, and is the
creator and moderator of the tribute site
GoldenSealsHockey.com.
“This is my kind of book. Steve Currier dives head first into
the history of the Seals. . . . This detailed history of
the ill-fated and often forgotten team lets us in on everything
that was right, and especially everything that was wrong with the
Seals. . . . These were real men with real highs and real
lows. Lots of lows. Steve Currier takes us on a great trip
back in time to the NHL’s original Northern California
adventure.”—Ken Reid, anchor for SportsNet and author of Hockey
Card Stories
“[Steve Currier] tells the detailed story of this curious, sad sack
franchise, chronicling both the legacy of losing and some colorful
chapters in NHL history.”—Dave Buchanan, Arete
“The Seals are remembered today as one of the most colorful outfits
in hockey history. And now the whole story of hockey, chaos, and
heartbreak is expertly told in Steve Currier’s The California
Golden Seals, a book that shines a long-overdue spotlight on a team
and a time, the likes of which we shall never see again.”—Todd
Denault, author of Jacques Plante: The Man Who Changed the Face of
Hockey
"While the Seals were not a success on the ice or on the business
pages, they left their mark in hockey history and their story is
one that should be told. Currier does this in an entertaining
manner and any hockey fan who wants to learn anything about this
franchise should read this book."—Lance Smith, Guy Who Reviews
