When the NHL announced in early 1976 that its two worst teams would travel to Japan for a four-game exhibition series, fans and media were baffled. The series however was an eye-opening success. Filled with photos and player recollections, this book tells the story of how two league doormats became hockey heroes half-way around the world.

Hockey has had its share of bizarre tales over the years, but none compares to the fascinating story of the California Golden Seals, a team that remains the benchmark for how not to run a sports franchise. From 1967 to 1978, a revolving door of players, apathetic owners, and ridiculous marketing decisions turned the Seals, originally based in Oakland, into hockey's travelling circus.
