I discovered Ice Hockey in 1976. Sadly this was also the Seals final season in the Oakland - San Francisco Bay Area and the NHL.
They played in the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena
They would then move on to become the Cleveland Barons for two more seasons before becoming a defunct NHL team.
You can read more about the Seals in these books:

You can watch "The California Golden Seals Story" hockey documentary by Mark Greczmiel on iTunes
I used a Canon 8400F to scan these Kodak Ektachrome slides and Kodak Tri-X Pan and Ilford HP-4 Pan Black and White negatives.

Love these old shots. A trip down memory lane of 70's hockey.
