1975–76 California Golden Seals season



The 1975–76 California Golden Seals season would be the Seals' 9th and final season in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. The Seals finished last in the Adams Division and did not qualify for the playoffs.

Regular Season
The Seals were led by rookie Dennis Maruk. Maruk centered the 3M line with Bob Murdoch and Al McAdam. Both Maruk and MacAdam scored over 30 goals while Murdoch led the team in power play goals. Although they recorded a solid improvement over the previous season, the Seals fell 7 points shy of a playoff spot.

Owner Mel Swig was counting on the construction of a new arena in San Francisco, but after the proposal was defeated, he was convinced by minority owner George Gund III to relocate the franchise to Cleveland, where it was renamed Cleveland Barons.
