The Columbus Golden Seals were a minor league professional ice hockey team in the International Hockey League from 1971 to 1973.
 Columbus operated as a farm team to the National Hockey League's California Golden Seals.
 The owner of the NHL Seals, Charlie Finley, had acquired the IHL franchise rights to the dormant Columbus Checkers to create the farm team.
 In 1973, Finley sold the Columbus Golden Seals.
 The new owner, Al Savill, renamed the team the Columbus Owls for the 1973–74 season.
Michael Frederick Laughton (born February 21, 1944) is a retired professional ice hockey player who played 189 games in the National Hockey League and 203 games in the World Hockey Association.
 He played for the California Golden Seals, New York Raiders, New York Golden Blades, New Jersey Knights, and San Diego Mariners.
He was sold to the Montreal Canadiens before the start of the 1971-72 season by the California Golden Seals.
 Not being able to make the team with an already stacked lineup, Laughton was sent down to the Nova Scotia Voyageurs of the American Hockey League and made team captain by head coach Al MacNeil.
 He led the team that included Larry Robinson and Yvon Lambert, future stars on the Canadiens, to the Calder Cup championship in 1972.
The 1972–73 California Golden Seals season was the California Golden Seals' sixth season in the NHL.
 The Seals were hit particularly hard by defections to the new World Hockey Association, dropping 12 points from the previous year and returning to the basement of the West Division.
 The Seals had the worst record in the National Hockey League with a 13–55–10 record.
The California Golden Seals were a professional ice hockey franchise based in Oakland, California from 1967–76.
 They played their first seven seasons in the West Division and their final two seasons in the Adams Division.
 During their time in Oakland the Golden Seals drafted 72 players and participated in ten National Hockey League Amateur Drafts before the franchise relocated to Cleveland, Ohio on July 14, 1976.
The 1973–74 California Golden Seals season was the Seals' seventh season in the NHL.
 With the continuing depletion of talent due to the World Hockey Association and a lack of interest from owner Charles O. Finley who put the team up for sale, the Seals had a miserable season and sank to a franchise low 36 points.
 In January 1974, the NHL bought the Seals from owner Charlie Finley for $6.585 million.
 With the league takeover, the players immediately returned to wearing black skates.
 The Seals would conclude the season with the worst record in the league.
The 1970–71 California Golden Seals season was the Seals' fourth in the NHL, but their first as the "Golden Seals".
 Oakland Athletics owner Charlie O. Finley bought the team in the offseason for approximately $4,500,000.
 He announced that the name of the team was being changed to Bay Area Seals, but two games into the season changed it again to California Golden Seals, in an attempt to draw fans from across the state of California, in particular from nearby San Francisco.
 Along with the name change came new green and gold colours, and a new logo and uniforms.

 Initially named California Seals, the team was renamed Oakland Seals partway through the 1967–68 season (on December 8, 1967), and then to California Golden Seals in 1970.
 The Seals were one of six teams added to the league as part of the 1967 NHL expansion.
 Based in Oakland, California, they played their home games at the Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum Arena.
