California Golden Seals
The California Golden Seals were a professional ice hockey team based in Oakland, California. They played in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1967 to 1976. The team was part of the NHL's expansion, which added six new franchises. The Golden Seals struggled with performance and attendance throughout their existence.
In 1976, the California Golden Seals relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, becoming the Cleveland Barons. The team's colors were green and gold, reflecting California's vibrant landscape. Despite their challenges, the Golden Seals remain a nostalgic part of California's sports history.
