My family was friendly with Jim Neilson family back then

we got to see them in Philadelphia and the New York games. I was a goalie and wanted a Meloche #27 jersey when I was a kid but Jim gave me a #15 He didn’t want to see me in a different jersey number!!

California Golden Seals

Thought that was a cool name and cool jerseys as a kid. As soon as I liked them, they were gone.

You forgot Emile Francis (AHL) and Bill Cook's brother, Bun Cook (AHL). Emile Francis was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1982, and Bun Cook was inducted in 1995.

The Mistake by the Lake is also the nickname people have given to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland. LOL!

The Mistake by the Lake is also the nickname people have given to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland. LOL!

The nickname was first applied to Cleveland Stadium which was built in 1931.
