Oh but somehow so many places have started naming him Seath....no idea where that is coming from. Will ask Bev next time i see her.
Fun fact...Seth was Vladislav Tretiaks idol.
Seth is woefully under recognized in this country. No he didnt have the great NHL career but truth is he made more money back then playing Sr. mens and playing for the Smoke Eaters, then doubling down as a firefighter for Cominco.
His amateur record is unprecedented though. Beat those stinkin commie bastard Soviets in the Worlds. At his funeral my cousin played the radio broadcast of the countdown in the gold medal game or final game that won the gold for them. IIRC it was Dan Kelley on the pbp but dont quote me on that.
So many stories.
